(analog) Cruising: a manual by Leo Herrera

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

I am so in awe that we live in a day and age where such a powerhouse of a manual exists! What an homage to queer culture and our queer elders. To quote LH, "The power of analog cruising is its timelessness. There was no way to replicate this online. The dopamine of swiping and the Pavlovian bells of our phones had been replaced by anticipation and pheromones. Here was only the unforgiving, thrilling present. We couldn't take photos, but we could be visions. So many died creating, protecting and enjoying these kinds of spaces, through wars and plagues and financial ruin. Prince Charming may not always show, but when we cruise face to face, we honor heaven."
