It’s Wednesday, the beasts are wet and tired. So so so very tired
Empirics, ethics, and pragmatics have failed me; I am insane and fatalistic. My anchors left are aesthetics and erotics.
This pride month I will share queer art—mostly queer male art—that means something to me. Each day, I'll post a description and my reflection on the work.

Title: Closet Monster
Director: Stephen Dunn
Year: 2015
Rot13 CW: obql ubeebe, ubzbcubovn, ivbyrag frkhny nffnhyg, cneragny nohfr, hafnsr hfr bs cnegl qehtf. The reflection below will discuss these topics, so translate the CWs first if you're concerned and would like to avoid such content.
Description: A gay bildungsroman blending the real, the surreal, and the hyperreal. The environs and home of the protagonist inflict trauma on him; he drowns in the day-to-day. His body is at once desire, horror, beauty, freedom, strength.
This movie was extremely important to me as a gay traumatized teenager who loved self destructive climax and body horror.

Title: Howl
Author: Allen Ginsberg
Year: 1955
Rot13 CW: qehtf, frk, znqarff, oevrs zragvba bs 'crqrenfgl', qvfphffvba bs fgnghgbel encr va ersyrpgvba, nobhg gur pbagrkg bs gur cbrz ohg abg gur cbrz vgfrys. The reflection below will discuss these topics, so translate the CWs first if you're concerned and would like to avoid such content.
Description: A raw poem about the horrors/beauties of modern life and gay male sexual desire. Though the courts ruled it not obscene, I will always consider it obscene in my heart.
This poem permanently changed me when I heard it for the first time as a teenager. As anyone who's seen me on [Bluesky] knows, I will never shut up about anal sex and sucking dick and holes and the transcendent beauty of men (and of gay sex)

Title: Fifth Section†
Artists: Stan Hill (art director), Eric Luse (photographer), SFGMC members (choir)
Year: 1993
Rot13 CW: NVQF, ubzbcubovn, trabpvqr, gur ceboyrz bs rivy. The reflection below will discuss these topics, so translate the CWs first if you're concerned and would like to avoid such content.
Description: A stark, iconic photograph from the SF Chronicle & SFGMC. Men in white are surviving founding choir members while men in black represent AIDS fatalities.
Many of you have probably seen this before. The photograph shows the founding members of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus as of 1993, and more strikingly the *absence* of the ones who died to AIDS. I can't put my grief and rage into words.
†Unofficial title assigned by me. The "Fifth Section" is how the SFGMC (San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus) memorializes its dead, a majority having died of AIDS.

atheism as an opressed minority is the whitest attempt to pretend you are white and opressed I have ever seen in my entire black ass life
Mhm. Like fucking clockwork lmao.
1) I'm neither white nor an atheist. But sure, me calling atheists a religious minority is me pretending I'm white and oppressed.
2) I didn't use the word "oppressed", I just said "religious minority", but since you want to go there, sure let's go there.
There is no single religious affiliation that is as widely regarded as "political suicide" in the U.S. as openly identifying as an atheist, they're one of the most underrepresented groups in the U.S. government and most of the few atheist politicians that have held any political office in the U.S. have only openly come out as such either after the fact or late into their term, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to be elected in the first place.
A 2014 study by the university of Minnesota on social prejudice against atheists found that 42% of respondents characterized atheists a group of people who "didn't agree with [their] vision of american society" and that 44% of respondents wouldn't agree with their child marrying an atheists.
And also, despite the fact that these have been later ruled to be unenforceable, it's still incredibly telling that there are currently seven U.S States whose constitutions try to explicitly ban atheists from holding public office.
Notice how most of these are worded specifically so that you're not banned as long as you believe in ANY God or "supreme being", so it's not even an attempt at discrimination against non-christians in general, but specifically against atheists and other nonbelievers.
This is an uncharacteristically US-centric post of me but let's be real this ask is written in such an aggressively american way (e.g. immediately conflating "atheist" with "white" and implicitly treating U.S. racial dynamics as universal) so I know your yankee ass isn't gonna give a shit if I talk about how e.g. a 2009 survey found atheists to be one of the most openly hated demographic groups in Brazil, or how in several countries being openly atheist is straight-up punishable by the death penalty.
There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.
Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.
Like I'm not even an atheist, I've considered myself an agnostic for as long as I've been able to articulate my own beliefs, but it's not lost on me how often atheists in leftist spaces are hit with rhetoric like this:
Why is it bad that atheists are 100% sure that no god or any higher power exists? I mean. That's what they believe.
Everyone else is allowed to be 100% sure in whatever belief they hold and express it, but atheists are held to the higher standard of constantly conceding that "yeah I *could* be wrong haha of course I'm not saying it's impossible for gods to exist I'm just personally unconvinced" because openly expressing any confidence on the certainty of their own beliefs will immediately be perceived as close-minded and invalidating everyone else's belief systems when like.
When you get down to it "all this shit is made up" isn't really a meaningfully more close-minded or invalidating position than "all this shit is made up except for this one, which is the real and correct one". Atheism is just held to a higher standard when failing to immediately back down and cede ground in any situation where it doesn't align with anyone else's belief system is inherently seen as a mark of close-mindedness and intolerance, a standard to which no other religious minority is ever held in these spaces.
"Oh well it's because the New Atheism movement was shitty and Reddit Atheists™ were intolerant and-"
Okay so some guys were shitty about atheism in 2013. I have bad news about every single religious belief system on the face of our planet.

i have to have sympathy for the degrowth people. id want the economy to grow until every forest is cut low and the world is smothered in steel and concrete on purely aesthetic grounds even if it wasn't also clearly morally necessary. so we're kind of two sides of the same coin

space travel is actually cool as hell and it sucks that people are being negatively polarized against it for the sake of dunking on elon musk. a guy can be shitty without that immediately discrediting everything they have ever expressed an interest in.
i was looking up synonyms for tired and seeing these two next to each other gave me whiplash
happy pride month. reblog if you are also fagged out and bushed
This is a photo of 32 Chunk that Ranger Tammy took YESTERDAY. as in MAY 18TH 2025.
32 Chunk is starting spring fatter than many bears end up being in late fall! He's already a Fat Bear Champion contender and the cams haven't even turned on yet! holy crap!
