Are dress codes or even simple decorum no longer a thing? #beyondthegates #btg27 Jun 2026 15:43 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpbseksrbc23https://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3moksct2mx222Even if there was theft, a pack of diapers in no way merits gunfire to recover it. This is appalling on so many levels I can’t even begin to calculate.18 Jun 2026 12:10 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3moksct2mx222https://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mo6joc2tac2uJust finished reading @hughryan.bsky.social's new memoir, My Bad: A Personal History of the Queer Nineties and Beyond. It is as excellent & more than I expected it to be. Is it weird to have a favorite historian? Ready to pass it on but don’t want to let it go. https://bookshop.org/p/books/my-bad-a-personal-history-of-the-queer-nineties-and-beyond-hugh-ryan/32dcd16d9d80d712?ean=9781645030577&next=t13 Jun 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo6joc2tac2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mo2lxluo5c2uI was all disappointed to lose my Paramount hookup today of all days, but given what I’m reading here I’m not gonna bother to seek out an alternative. I don’t want to watch these developing storylines with Dani/Andre/Bill/Ashley. This isn’t entertaining to me. I’m out. #btg #beyondthegates https://static.klipy.com/ii/c3a19a0b747a76e98651f2b9a3cca5ff/96/70/RivHk76f.gif?hh=498&ww=371&mp4=9mxGNnMZFgpvg3q&webm=wA0fCvw8CeMIVK12 Jun 2026 01:34 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo2lxluo5c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mnxwt6lu622zAnd why is Ted in these burgundy/red suits lately? #BeyondtheGates #btg11 Jun 2026 00:11 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnxwt6lu622zhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mnxvsrvabk2zWhy would Nicole tell Shanice that Martin's fundraiser wouldn’t be the same without her there?? That doesn’t even make sense. #BeyondtheGates #btg10 Jun 2026 23:52 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnxvsrvabk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mnlb72kjts2yFirst time since this show started I just couldn’t take the sounds of Jacob’s & Ashley’s bad-acting voices & fast-forwarded through all their scenes. When the Paramount+ subscription runs out in a couple of weeks, I think I’m done. This show could have been so much more. #BeyondTheGates #BTG05 Jun 2026 23:12 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnlb72kjts2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mndq77xjl22oI don’t know who’s more unlikable at this point—Jacob or Naomi—but they can both go. I’d take Derek back in a heartbeat over either of them. #BeyondTheGates #btg02 Jun 2026 23:19 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndq77xjl22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mm3xsi6bjk2dhttps://www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans/comments/1tgaz3g/pitty_needs_adoption/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button18 May 2026 03:48 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm3xsi6bjk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mlwkebsuds2dI dread to see what kind of drama they’ve cooked up for Donnell and possibly Deanna. Those characters have barely gotten to establish themselves. Plus, months of nothing and now everything is happening next week?? Jesus be a writer’s room that understands pacing. #BeyondTheGates #BTG16 May 2026 00:04 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlwkebsuds2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mk26k3cnms2rMartin’s killing nightmares, Bill and Dani circling each other—did CBS/Paramount accidentally air a season 1 episode today?? #beyondthegates #btg21 Apr 2026 23:53 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk26k3cnms2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3mjslawjcjc2cThis beautiful boy!

Who who be scandalized to learn that there’s police business he can’t share? The lying instead is so transparent. #beyondthegates #btg08 Apr 2026 23:32 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mizhccqqx22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3micrtnunis26Bill is the least professional boss—cursing at Tomas and prioritizing the opinion of the employee he sleeps with. Tomas is a snooze but I can’t stand Bill. He’s a complete jackass. #beyondthegates30 Mar 2026 23:10 +0000at://did:plc:wpkr2ofrcpuo3llgmid5eajt/app.bsky.feed.post/3micrtnunis26https://bsky.app/profile/carlajwms.blacksky.app/post/3micrefrf3s24Why is Naomi sulking around like a newlywed who didn’t realize she married a cop?
