Welcome to is it a date, the podcast where we once delved into the nuances and grey areas of a queer hang until the govt made touching each other illegal. This episode I am joined by my friend Stephanie, a chronically-ill disabled hard-of-hearing queer femme. We answer an audio query from a listener who has been receiving some very friendly-flirty messages on Instagram from a friend but can't read signals, we speak about Stephanie's experiences from living at the intersection of chronic illness and disability and queerness, especially during lock-down, about the accessibility of queer events online and IRL, and we finish up with some excellent suggestions not only for an online date but also for making your virtual events accessible. Perhaps you are one of the gays who have written to me who seems to be stuck in some kind of Sisyphean vaguely flirty daily correspondence with another queer in which case, we are here to help. If you have found yourself in this situation please email [email protected] or fill out the google form at https://forms.gle/v7EBVvzSQyMwAqs76 or message me on Instagram @boy.florence. Alternatively, if quarantine has pushed you to uhaul with your partner, I would also love to hear from you!During lockdown, we are recording in our bedrooms with the most lo-fi of technology, iphone headphones and zoom calls, so please be patient with the audio quality. Playing the episode on low-grade speakers or headphones will make it easier to listen to.
