doin good recklessly since 1939

the ramblings and musings of Rose (they/them)

[giacofmanytrades]

I WROTE A BOOK, BAYBEEEEEE. Thought I'd post about it here, though I'm more active for book stuff on Instagram @giacofmanytrades if y'all are into personal Rose life adventures.

Cover design by @cosmignon, creator of Runaway Drakaina and the artist ever.

After her sister goes missing, all Tara Ayala wants to do is forget. Everyone else has. Nobody but Tara remembers the people who disappeared from Camp Cottonwood, a sleepaway summer camp nestled in the northern California wilderness. Ten years later, she’s about to put the past to bed when one of the missing returns: her own sister, a former camp counselor who vanished and changed the course of Tara’s life forever. Now Tara has to accompany her sister Leah back to where it all began. If she wants to uncover the mystery of what took place a decade ago, she’ll need the help of her ex-bunkmate and pen pal, June Bug. But bubbly little June has grown up into a butch that inspires more than just guilt and regret in Tara. Will she be able to make up with June and heal what happened when they were kids? Or will the secrets they’ve abandoned to rot swallow them whole?

whenever you take too much time to write something know it is because stephen king has been stealing your life force

You know what they shoulda left Yao saying “I won’t have anyone on my crew who doesn’t want to be there” in the movie. I think it’s integral to the themes. Yknow, there’s always someone in your corner when you least expect it. People are willing to defend those they know relatively little. Love is a powerful force etc etc

Like having dictator of the world tell u ur fucking going to space whether u like it or not is scary and then thinking god fucking Christ no one will even protest this bc they too must all think I’m a coward is even scarier but no. One guy did protest it. Stratt even directly addressed that the amnesia wasn’t even just for graces sake but to prevent Yao and Ilyukhina’s anger at that act from disrupting the mission. Okay bye

I don't wanna sound like mean or nuthin but a lot of y'all have been trapped in a vortex of suffering for so long that you've come to identify with the suffering as an aspect of your personality and ideology and thereby to covet suffering and to mistake debasement for enoblement and humiliation for virtue

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

June 12, 2016. Putting a date on this for when it gets reblogged months from now by people who think the post is about something from 30, 40 years ago.

[butch-reidentified]

I am a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, having grown up in Orlando and just turned 20 a month prior. If you didn’t know, there were several families who refused to claim the bodies of their relatives due to their sexuality. One family even had their relative’s name removed from the memorial. Murdered by the same hate with which their families reject them in both life and death.

Many, many people celebrated Pulse. We were told we deserved it. That it was God’s punishment for our sin of loving the same sex. We are sent messages like these I received in 2018:

We in the community often call the victim count 49+ to include the survivors who couldn’t live with the pain.

The event was never officially declared a hate crime or targeted homophobic attack and is rarely listed as one in databases.

At our vigils for those slaughtered, Extremist Christian groups showed up to protest, holding signs like this:

ID: Me kissing a woman I was casually seeing in front of an angry looking man with a “Sodomy is Sin” sign.

Please understand how much more than just a mass shooting this was. We are still to this day harassed and told we deserved it by some.

This year was the sixth anniversary. The first couple years I received dozens of messages checking in on me on 6/12. Year 5 got enough news coverage for people to think to reach out to me. This year it was my therapist, the woman I kissed in that photo, and a couple of other gun violence survivor friends. People are forgetting already.

With the 7 year anniversary <2 weeks away, I figured I’d reblog this

Hi. We got in a spot of medical trouble again with my partner and because of it, they weren't allowed to work for almost 3 weeks by their company. Because of that, they took a significant cut to their salary this month, enough that we don't have enough for all of our major bills this month. I've tried looking for short-term work to supplement without fruitful results.

I'm sorry to ask again but we're getting a bit desperate. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you so much!

So many political posts I hate boil down to "I don't want to organize and work with people I hate and fight for small, incremental victories, I just want to start a revolution where everyone magically becomes an automaton who acts exactly the way I think they should act"

Like damn man, I want that too. Unfortunately I live in reality though so we're stuck with the first thing.

[captainjonnitkessler]

"Modern movements are too fractured, too aimless, with too much infighting and corruption among the leadership. What we need is a revolution, which famously never have any issues with those things" okay then. Good luck I guess

This whole line of thinking comes down to "the current systems and leadership are bad. What we need is a fresh start with only people who are good, and then all the systems will be good". Which is simply not how anything has ever worked!

[traycakes]

"We don't have enough people, funding, and power to bring about changes through elections! We have to do an armed revolution instead which thankfully doesn't require people, funding, or power to pull off."
