Going back to the queer youth group for which I volunteer today. (I basically am just like an assistant adult whose main contribution is to be present while the actual trained youth worker does all the real work.) I have lateral flow Covid tests and will make sure I'm clear before I go, but it's going to be the most social interaction I've had for over a year and I'm a bit nervous about it. Do I remember how to be a human in company? IDK. We'll find out.
I'd only just started being involved - I'd been like three times - before Covid struck. But it is so good to be in a real-life queer space instead of just on the internet. It does me a lot of good - it's a liberation just being in a room where you know people are making more accurate assumptions about you. As a non-binary person that's really the best you can hope for, in terms of gender affirmation.
I hope it helps the kids as much (or more, of course) as it does me :)

Our main handicap is that two of our key dancers both have jobs that require a lot of working at weekends. Rowan has to book holiday well in advance, and Jackie does care work in people's homes, so can't leave her ladies alone for too long.
Fingers crossed. Remind me well in advance of the festival. We aren't on Chippenham's radar yet, but I find festivals are generally welcoming of teams that ask for invitations (as long as the team is competent - and we have some good videos of us dancing).
