Exactly, I am one of the people who has barely left one apartment or another unless I needed to for errands because the last time I got COVID-19 I was bed-bound for 5 days and felt like I was gonna die, then wasn't the same for 2+ years.
I'm good. Y'all ignore reality too much.

Last night I met this couple on horizons where one of them was in their 60s and the other was my age, 35.
The older partner kept referring to both of us as “kids”.
Date whoever you want, but if you patronizingly refer to who you fuck as a “kid,” I’m gonna call you out on it.

It’s weird to live in a world with a fundamentally different understanding of emotional release and vulnerability than you. For me, it is necessary, functional, and healing to release. It flows through and out as a process of being alive. I can’t imagine framing that as a burden.

When you say the r word, casually, even just once you may as well be doing a nazi salute, casually just once, because they are both revolting symbols of hate and you pledging your allegiance to eugenics.

Me and my pain cohabitate. Sometimes, we sleep together. I will never commit to them like that. I am for a moment, as are they. I won’t need them to visit me in any hospitals. My body is simply their hostel. They come and go. I let them volunteer here for free as my art director.

Back when I first got fired for CK some troll was like “we’re gonna see you living van life in like 4 months” and, honestly, a part of me just kind of wants to lmao that wasn’t the burn that they thought that it was.

You know what pisses me off? Is when people will go around saying that they’re an expert in something because they have thousands of hours of research in it.
Like bro do you think about how many hours are in a year? There’s over 8k hours in a year. That is not fucking expertise.

Things people look at me and presume I am guilty of being until they talk to me for like 5 fucking minutes: a woman, straight, uneducated, professional, middle class, elitist, centrist, a republican, a democrat, from a bloodline of OG u.s. colonizers.

To some extent, the two party fans truly enjoy bickering back and forth with each other. And that in itself disappoints me.
If you think I am or defend a republican or a democrat it truly shows your ignorance.

It’s snowing like ashes because we are burning. A cold fire, stopping us in Our tracks. Freezing Us so numb, We mistake it for heat. Our nurturing called nature. An indulgent emergency We may die for.

I can definitely believe that I was a queer ass nun in a past life. The yearning. The spirituality. The free room and board. The ritualistic life. The thinly veiled gay.

In many ways, traditional K through 12 education is just an elaborate humiliation ritual that standardizes us out of creative embodiment, thinking, and expression by telling us we aren’t “smart” if we don’t pass arbitrary tests.

Even after years of reading feminist literature, it took me (a non-binary person) a long time to realize that I never identified with “womanhood”. I was just taught to misconflate my experiences of gender based oppression/violence with a binary idea of “woman” that didn’t fit me.
