i wake up in the evening. and i ain’t got nothing to say. i come home in the morning, i go to bed feeling the same way. i ain’t nothing but TIRED! man i’m just tired and bored with myself! hey there baby, i could use just a little help… messages keep getting clearer. radio’s on and i’m movin around my place. i check my look in the mirror. wanna change my CLOTHES MY HAIR MY FACE, MAN I AIN’T GETTING NOWHERE! i’m just living in a dump like this! there’s something happening Somewhere! baby i just know there is! You sit around getting OLDER. there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on ME. i’ll shake this world off my shoulders, come on baby, the laugh’s on me! stay on the streets of this town. and they’ll be carving you up alright. they say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby i’m JUST ABOUT STARVING TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!
wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it
i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said “we’re not catholic here”. now every time i’m doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.
It is so so important to show that queer people have always existed and are allowed to live long, happy lives. Young queer people–especially those in conservative areas–need to know that beingqueer is not a death sentence. Despite the many struggles we have faced, throughout history there have always been queer lives filled with joy and love. and you will find yours.
