In honor of her 10th summer in Fire Island, Linux gives the children the past, present, and possibly underwater future of New York City’s gay backyard. From its cruising grounds and legendary Pines Party to its million-dollar houses, “sexy afters,” and historically rigid population of white muscle gays on drugs, she unpacks the beauty—and exclusion—that shaped her decade on the island. Linux looks back on being the only doll in the Pines, fighting for her place in its sexual liberation, projectile-vomiting in giant heels, and eventually opening the door for a new generation through Paul’s Dolls Fire Island. Part survival guide, part queer history lesson, and part love letter to the place where she learned to stand up for herself and others, this episode asks what Fire Island has been, what it’s becoming, and who gets to call it theirs.
