centaurs will be his you tell him stories and myths and he will do the magic himself to make those bones live they will rainbow shield his faith from the wrath of your church when they throw stones a hundred storied lions will surround him saying i am here when your waves threaten to capsize his spirit he will remember a friendly whale of a way out and he will dive deep and imagine a world where queer heroes save the people like they did in the bible but he ll have to hide them in satyrs starships and lions like lewis did because you can t bear the truths of the divine outside of story oh he

through hardship strange new worlds and uncovering past trauma is up at reactor magazine june 2 2026 june 2 2026 jstueart leave a comment over at reactor magazine formerly tor com i have a new essay that analyzes an episode of star trek and how it brought up some unresolved trauma in my life while i know that sounds fun it s really about the importance of good science fiction in the world for many reasons but also for highlighting where we are still hurting each other and some of the unresolved trauma we carry on a societal level i m happy to have had an essay published in such a good online magazine thank you managing editor bridget mcgovern i d been working unsuccessfully for a few years on an essay about this particular time in my life my coming out in a small yukon city and trying to shape it but i couldn t get my head around it it felt like old stuff tiresome stuff and frankly painful stuff who wants to read about that so this essay that was published was my attempt to break it down into smaller chunks using this episode of star trek strange new worlds as a secret backdoor to talk about it i mean the episode was significant it startled me into taking care of myself in a different way instead of forgetting the past or putting the past in the past it was important to look at how the past invades our present i think it s important for us to be gentle with ourselves when it comes to the past unresolved trauma can appear like depression anger fear destructive behaviors i m not a medical doctor but i do know that trauma can stay in the body and mask itself and continue to hurt us we need to deal with it so that our loved ones and us too aren t continually hurt by it so this was my attempt at dealing with it since it came up so suddenly while watching star trek with my partner one night how do you heal past trauma and make residual pain go away come over to reactor magazine and read how i tried to figure that out gay queer religion star trek writing yukon gay healing lgbtq life mental health pride queer reactor magazine science fiction star trek strange new worlds trauma writing the lovely rain porch or what happened to wednesday may 21 2026 may

helped me understand how time really works once a week i try to go to my favorite coffeeshop in town the lively iris i pack up my computer notebook headphones a book if i need it and a bag of my tarot cards in case i need to do a reading having a weekly cafe time gets me out of the house and into a cafe setting where i can guzzle a latte scarf a pastry and a breakfast panini listen to the classical jazz folk easy rock mix in the atmosphere and the sounds of local people coming in and chatting with the staff it s a reminder of community for me but also just a little hustle and bustle in that hustle and bustle i can settle in to work sometimes other times it is me chatting with staff and local people recently we have been talking about forming a writing group and that s exciting it was raining this morning a lovely rain as i drove to town outside my car windows lay the vast fields of this season s unharvested giant marshmallow crop i live out in the forest with my partner about 15 minutes from town in northeast tennessee the houses get fewer further between and you get more forests and flood plains and the river soon i ll be approaching our driveway which is about 3 4 of a mile long through the forest by the time you reach our place you are deeply sequestered from most traces of city or people you can see the occasional plane fly overhead you can lose track of the world which isn t a bad thing really until you lose a wednesday i don t know if we had two mondays or two tuesdays this week but i expected this to be wednesday and i went in to town to find my favorite

france as part of a larger exhibition put on by the archdiocese of lyon on depictions of the last supper in art the exhibit is called mises en cène and it runs from july 1 through august 30 and then moves to another location through october i think my painting is in the final section of the exhibition labeled blasphemy sacrilege are you so sure this part of the exhibition asks viewers to think about how queer artists are exploring aspects of inclusion in the ministry of christ i am so honored to be part of this exhibition my painting was found online by the person curating the exhibition and i was asked in 2025 if i wanted to be a part of it many artists have depicted the last supper it s a popular tableau it s also been a part of marketing since it is so famous anytime you have

rights nokings politics agent alex pretti faith family federal home ice immigration minneapolis murder news politics renee good shooting trump revolution begins at home october 18 2025 december 4 2025 jstueart leave a comment revolution begins at home jerome stueart 11 x 15 watercolor mixed media on paper october 18 2025 ______________ today many 2 million of us are going to be protesting for nokings and maybe you ve attended one of these protests across the country they are exciting and powerful and you can see hundreds and maybe thousands in your city standing up for change these protests are powerful things i ve seen the ones in new york city and chicago on tv and they give me hope but maybe you ve been part of something else something smaller have you been to a house meeting where you meet your neighbors and strategize over soup how to be effective in strategic campaigns or actions that can help stop some of the negative consequences of trump policies maybe your group is part of the indivisible or no kings movement hey may not look like a movement if you were looking for thousands of bodies to affirm your stance but i can argue that they are the places these living rooms that will begin change in the country movements are born and sustained in living rooms and dining rooms of your neighbor s house these small house meetings are where you can find others who feel the way you do where people can come together and think of ways to change the system this isn t about organizing the vote it s about voting to organize all these small home meetings are where revolution happens and i hope you find a good meeting near you or start one in your home this is what democracy what revolution looks like right now these meetings of concerned citizens who want to create change and the big protests are an outlet for those people too where we can all come together peacefully for change here s where you hatch ideas that 20 people can carry out and that can spread to other groups meeting in other homes our group talked about cash for change the idea of using only cash to pay for things so that corporations don t keep getting their share of your dollar every time you swipe a card the store doesn t get that money the banks and larger credit institutions receive that percentage off of every sale cash for change if a large number of people did it would hurt the revenue they are collecting and that s kinda what these groups are for how do concerned citizens get the attention of billionaires how can we small but mighty make a difference against powerful people we have power but we have to cooperate to do it these small groups can help foster new ideas they still need the mass protests though and large numbers of people and until those numbers hurt the established order of things until there is a general strike people standing around for 2 hours may not make a huge difference to the oligarchs but when people begin to stand around for days and shut things down that may get their attention ________ i hope your nokings stays peaceful but the more powerful we become the more there will be resistance against us too please be safe 2 million people protesting will keep growing and growing no matter what happens today maybe you will have some frogs or trexes in your group too keep meeting keep planning keep that spark alive change will happen we will bring more people together because we have so much common ground between us and so much to do before us we need everyone art nokings politics nokings american politics change protest
