the car key would not pop out of the fob this morning and I was walking into the middle of my street to start screaming. A good daytime middle-of-the-street holler. I pried the key out with a pen. Screamed in my head instead of in traffic and haven’t stopped

I was dissociating in aisle 4 and said aloud: "Where's my favorite cracker?" and a man in orange patagonia fleece and charcoal cargo shorts spun around and made eye contact

people who have absolutely no idea, not the first clue, about how debilitating the brain fog is. And saying “oh, it’s okay, you can get SSDI” was *insulting* before, now during Trump II it’s straight up sadistic

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

found comfort in straight wedding drama. she wore what, to where? unrepentant? this world is infested with vapid voids encased in flesh, acting out boring malice toward other cisgender heterosexuals in rituals of garish pretense. I'd rather eat glass

Notes that writer and longtime drama teacher Gordon Porterfield gave to students in a course for educators at JHU. These are photocopies of index cards in a scrapbook. 1. Adam – your writing is excellent. Honest, authentic, Heartfelt. You have so much to offer the children you’ll be teaching. These writings display of wisdom and maturity, well worth sharing with other aspiring teachers. You made the right choice. 2. Sarah – I’m deeply impressed by your powerful vision of what teaching and learning can and should be. Creating dangerously is a profound theme, acutely relevant to today’s world. You’re a messenger. A Joan of Arc.

Both of the cards are signed with the letter G

Sunset in a marsh area. There is water curving through the middle of the frame, which is dark bay grasses. The top half of the frame is pearly pinks and oranges and pale blues — long, low, horizontal clouds. Some city lights in the middle in the background. There is a faint red light leak edited into the image.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip
