My family is orthodox which makes it all pretty hardline about heaven and hell, which is difficult for me, because it is very hard to imagine eternal torment for fucking up. I’ve been apologizing for everything since I was like eight years old lmao

I certainly understand why people want to believe in heaven (and hell) after the past year or so I’ve had, lemme tell ya

During the eulogy for my mom on Friday the priest specifically quoted bits of scripture about how we won’t all go to heaven, and I think it reminded me why I don’t go to church anymore, because hearing that from age 5 onwards takes a toll. I hope you’re right if there is a god

It’s incredible, I love the loose-fitting look on you (and your makeup is lovely)

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 1d

I kind of get it. I fear I’m just never quite good enough to actually make it to heaven if it’s real, but I suspect that’s just a fierce ocd/guilt complex thing, because I can assure you I try as hard as possible. Also I didn’t keep shipping weapons to a country committing a genocide, which helps

hey do I have any mutuals in Minneapolis who might want to hang out Monday or possibly Tuesday? I’ve had some last minute car fixes to make and I’m here a few days longer than expected and I figured if anyone’s around we could grab coffee

I have really been enjoying photographing birds. Here is one I quite liked.

Two birds in focus on a rocky beach with a giant cruise ship in the distance.

I feel so stupid saying this about a campaign video but I cried watching the Sylvia Rivera one this morning because he actually spoke about my community and our heroes like we weren’t a liability to society and it is so surreal to see that after the past half a decade of political losses

Wow this is such a good piece

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician even attempt to know this much about my people’s history or art or culture or struggle, and I’ve certainly never seen someone advocate for protecting us so fiercely at this level, ever. God I truly hope he wins.

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.

Some of it is assuredly “I’ll rest when I’m dead” but some of it is also that I’m just desperate to get moving on again and feel a future

I buried my mom and I tried to figure out why everything has gone the way it went and found no reasons.

This of course means I need to ask a 42-year-old Volkswagen to behave for 2,200 miles, so we’re immediately stress testing just how much my mother can intercede with god on my behalf, lol
