May 2013
these glasses are making me feel like an actual Attractive Person which is a very weird feeling.
raw-deal:
so many feels on how rural punk communities are digital AND analog based at the same time.
I have always lived in urban areas but man if I don’t love visiting rural punk communities on tour for this very reason. Also some of the coolest people I’ve ever met have come out of that sort of community.
Reblog if you've formed a meaningful relationship...
imathers:
Currently writing something to try and get across to immigration just how meaningful that relationship is, actually.
So many good, real, lasting friendships. Also, a lot of my friendships have involved meeting in real life and then blossoming into a Real Thing through online interaction as we get to learn more about one another.
I’m not sure if words can convey how much I hate the “girls don’t count” thing.
To be honest, I have fallen in love - like really in love - with more women than any other gender, statistically, throughout my history of relationships. Sowley is one of two cis men I’ve ever been in love with, and he is, you know, not a cis man in the traditional sense of masculinity. I...

Mayor Rahm Expands Corporate Footprint on Chicago... →
Well, it worked like it was supposed to work: the mayor’s appointed stooges on the “Board of Education” voted to close 50 Chicago public schools to make way for corporate charter reform schools. Never mind that communities barely held together will lose their lifelines, never mind that violence is almost guaranteed to increase (as it did when Duncan shuttered schools), and never mind that many...

my relationship is NOT actually a cishet relationship (i’m not cis, neither of us are straight) but it sure looks like it from the outside. which is why i generally stay out of queer spaces. i definitely need that community for myself and my soul as i always have but i feel like there are things i can put together with friends (like record/potluck night) that will fulfill that in me; i would...

p.s.
Summer of Teen Reclamation is important to me because I was a very dour/sad/little adult teen who was going through a lot of really really awful things and didn’t really have time or the operational skills to enjoy things and have fun so I want to get a chance to do that.

hagnet replied to your post: Getting one of my nostrils repierced (WHICH ONE?)…
i’m teening out this summer by reading a lot of coming-of-age classics that i never read as a teen hopefully and also some teen magazines’ summer reading lists
YEAH. I’m into it.
I also need some thrifted full slips and jungle boots again for Max Teen Jes Appeal.
Getting one of my nostrils repierced (WHICH ONE?) because that’s the only facial piercing I miss (I had like a ton of them because I was a weird teenager in the ’90s, what do you want from me). 34 years old. Summer of teen reclamation.

ASSIGNED SEX: A DOCUMENTARY FILM by Shaun Dawson — Kickstarter
biyuti:
Hey.
So this is a movie about transgender people, that has (from the images) at least 4/5 of the main people as TPoC (and 3/5 are Black).
Let’s boost the fuck out of this and see if we can’t get them the money for this doc.
it's your funeral (lyrics)
This is the super-sweet pop song Split Feet wrote that I of course had to write sad, bitter lyrics to.

My hate lives here
In my dry eyes
In my flat mouth
They eulogize
Oh you were sick
They don’t know how much
I kept your secrets
I know your heart, oh oh
Black crinoline and freedom
You were meant to protect me
You wrought this poison
I am your nightmare
Your little...

White jews became white when they made holocaust museums with my people’s 2 million+ casualties a footnote with the word “Gypsy” slapped on it. They became the oppressors then.
We are not a footnote.
Making the Romani a footnote is wrong and terrible but it does not change someone’s ethnicity- that’s a horrible and...
queer buds in chicago
I am for real about doing an Old Dudes Who Don’t Go To Happenin Dance Parties Or Whatever potluck/record hang/let’s drink beverages of whatever sort and hang in a low-pressure environment at a reasonable hour of the evening on a weekend kind of queer hang. Sowley and I could probably host the first one.

watershedzine:
WATERSHED is a zine about falling in love with music, about those moments when you heard/saw music that shifted your perspective, when you became a fan of a certain band or artist, when you realized you were in it for life. It will feature short pieces by a range of people (many of whom are musicians ourselves) talking about the first time we heard that record, that show that was...

friendly reminder that telling a fat person that they are in fact, not “actually” fat is not okay, even (especially) if you mean it as a compliment. you are not complimenting this person - you are erasing their experiences and invalidating their body.
As a “small fat” (someone who can do most of their shopping in straight size stores) I get a lot of this (note: we...
