Set on hope despite all evidence

blog title from A history of Sexual Preference by Robin Becker (great poem, check it out) Saturday/Saturn Permenently obsessed with Riverdale. I have voted before and will again (proof I am at least 18 years old, I participate in american democracy) I am very pro union-- feel free to ask me about why you should be too! Femmepunk, folkpunk, hopepunk Black lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. Everyone has a right to live comfortably. Everyone deserves to have their sexuality/romantic attraction/gender respected.

what studying literature feels like

New local scandal is an old woman who will walk down to her mailbox in her robe, then, when no cars are driving by, lay down next to her mailbox as if she’s fallen or been hit by a car. Tourists will stop, help her up, and walk her to her house. Then, after they leave, she’ll repeat this until she’s bored with it.

Her neighbors have called the cops a bunch but have been told that it’s not illegal to fake being an old lady in peril so soft-hearted tourists or newcomers are nice to you. One of the neighbors sometimes yells “oh, get up, Lois!” at her. But overall local sentiment is that this is at least somewhat enviable levels of not giving a fuck.

i know hes trying to make fun of the city slickers here but the way this is written really makes it sound like he is Not At All having fun with his country work and he wants to be at party

Oh jesus, I thought this person was exaggerating until I dared try this out of morbid curiosity. I hate the state of society 🤮

just did a weird roleplay with a Michaels employee in which I pretended to be the world’s oldest most pretentious teenager purchasing fancy spray paint to huff

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

me: why do you need my id? so I don’t graffiti stuff?

employee: it’s so you aren’t a teen huffing it for drugs

me: do teens even do that anymore? i feel like we have more appealing options for underage drug abuse these days

employee: yeah it’s just silly

me, adopting a transatlantic drawl: my father says that pedestrian drugs are beneath me. the common rabble can get their hands on all kinds of things these days. that’s why I stick to tradition.

employee: only the finest metallic effect spray paints for your family

me: father says I have a legacy to uphold if I am to inherit his estate.

employee: the gold symbolizes inherited wealth

me: yes! quite right. you are so wise in the ways of old money

employee: have a nice day. and get out of here before my boss hears you

Do the kids these days know that the traditional payment for "having your friends help you move" is "order everyone pizza after"?

Feed your friends. Feed your loved ones. Feed the people who help you. Feed your neighbors. Feed your community.

Seriously though, with a lot of people, especially friends, you can shamelessly and blatantly trade pizza / food for help and labor <3

turns out "everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of this fear" is a great trans mantra but also a good mantra if you have OCD

Also a cool thing to say out loud before picking up a sword!!!!!

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

there is a very specific type of political enlightenment when you allow yourself to acknowledge bad people can be attractive and funny and intelligent and still be bad people because those things don’t quantify morality

[joeyclaire]

“i’ve never met a pretty racist” “republican makeup” etc etc is all just enforcing the idea that being conventionally unattractive is a moral failing. stop doing that. it’s an actively dangerous idea to spread
