i dont know if you log on ever anymore but hope you are safe

I’m not really here anymore, but I did get this message and it made me tear up. Although to be fair, that doesn’t take a lot right now. Life in Minnesota is fucking rough, buddy. I’m safe. For now. Physically. I’m doing as much as I can to help my community. If people have funds to contribute to Minnesotans, please do! https://www.standwithminnesota.com/ And if you can’t contribute financially, you can still share a love note on that site. I read them sometimes and they lift my spirits. :)

Ok I thought that was all I wanted to say but it's not. Because. While this is the fucking darkest timeline. While this is The Bad Place. While this is a level of daily terror and fear that relatively few Americans have experienced.

The fucking community, man. We are AMPED UP. We are FUCKING ON THIS SHIT. We are ALL. OVER. THIS. SITUATION!!! Not just whistles and screaming and marching. But making food deliveries and driving kids to school and walking people's dogs. Those daily things that have to be done IN SECRET because this is SO UNBELIEVABLY FUCKED UP I WANT TO SCREAM ABOUT IT EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY!!!! They wanted to trample us and we said NO FUCKING THANK YOU because we are POLITE MINNESOTANS and also we now sign off conversations with FUCK ICE so maybe we're not so Minnesota Nice anymore.

You're lucky if you're missing out on this hellscape. You're unlucky if you're missing out on this breathtaking web of care and love and support.

YOU DID KILL SOME OF US BUT IT ONLY BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER, YOU STUPID NAZI FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST AND AS IT TURNS OUT WE ARE VERY READY TO DIE FOR THE CONSTITUTION WHO FUCKING KNEW??????

We know we can't lose this fight. SO WE FUCKING WON'T!!!!!!!

“Okay, so,” Alex says. “Yeah. So here’s what we’re gonna do. You are gonna go be, like, five hundred feet away from me for the rest of the night, or else I am going to do something that I will deeply regret in front of a lot of very important people.”

“All right…”

“And then,” Alex says, and he grabs Henry’s tie again, close to the knot, and draws his mouth up to a breath away from Henry’s. He hears Henry swallow. He wants to follow the sound down his throat. “And then you are going to come to the East Bedroom on the second floor at eleven o’clock tonight, and I am going to do very bad things to you, and if you fucking ghost me again, I’m going to get you put on a fucking no-fly list. Got it?”

Henry bites down on a sound that tries to escape his mouth and rasps, “Perfectly.”

"Time's up!" comes Amy's voice through a crack in the doors. "I'm going to die," Henry says helplessly. "I'm going to kill you," Alex tells him. "Yes, you are," Henry agrees.

“You don’t dance?” he says, watching Henry, who is visibly trying to figure out what to do with his hands. It’s endearing. Wow, Alex is drunk.

“No, I do,” Henry says. “It’s just, the family-mandated ballroom dancing lessons didn’t exactly cover this?” “C’mon, it’s, like, in the hips. You have to loosen up.” He reaches down and puts both hands on Henry’s hips, and Henry instantly tenses under the touch. “That’s the opposite of what I said.”

The song crossfades into another buh-duh dum-dum-dum, dum-duh-dum duh-duh-dum- “Shut up,” Alex yells, cutting off whatever else Henry was saying, “shut your dumb face, this is my shit!” Henry stares at him blankly, and around them, people start cheering too, hundreds of shoulders shimmying to the shouty, Lil-Jon flavored nostalgia of “Get Low.”

“Did you seriously never go to an awkward middle school dance and watch a bunch of teenagers dry hump to this song?” Henry is holding onto his champagne for dear life. “You absolutely must know I did not...Please tell me nobody is going to dry hump me," Henry says.

Alex whoops and Nora cackles and the crowd jumps around and Henry just gawks at them. “Did that man just say ‘sweat drop down my balls’?”

Henry’s face is shocked and confused, and it’s hilarious…and with extreme trepidation, Henry starts bopping his head a little.
