Happy Harry Hardon is now on the web!

Yeah, you read that right! Doesn't matter if you live in Podunk, Arizona or not anymore. I've gone global! Great thing about it is, if you do live halfway across the world, you can use that nifty little ask feature instead of paying an arm and a leg for postage. Neat, huh?

And don't worry your pretty little heads, local folks. I'll still be on the air every night at 10 to read your lovely letters. As you know my friends, if you enclose your number, reply is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, I will have to watch what I say on here, at least a bit. You know, "Community Guidelines" and all that. Censorship's a bitch, ain't it?

Fuck purity culture.

(That's it, that's the post.)

Opinions on lesbians?

Being lesbian is a natural thing, and it's not hurting anyone, so I really don't see the reason for all the hate. It's irrational, and it's a big part of why living in today's society can be so miserable.

[homunculus-argument]

Fun fact: if you, as an adult, tell miserable children that their youth is the best that life will ever be, and that it's all just downhill from there, there's a percentage of them who will hear this and think "well, I guess I better kill myself before that happens." And a certain percentage of those will proceed to do that and succeed.

Anyway what I'm saying is that any time you feel tempted to say that, you should instead consider shutting the fuck up. Just because you peaked at 16 doesn't mean anyone else did. Most peoples' lives get better than that.

Umm…I killed my stepdad before my mom and dad died…did he deserve it? Maybe

@marnie-sawyer

Are we talking "I'm saying I killed him because I feel guilty for something out of my control" or actual murder? I think that's an important distinction to make. If it's the latter... spilling that kinda secret is a risky move. You're real brave for that, bud. Or stupid.

How'd you do it? Was it premeditated or spur of the moment? Did he really deserve it? Those are also pretty pertinent questions. You had to have had a motivation, right?

[happy-harry-hardon]

Harry, you are always talking about dicks. Are you by chance gay?

Maybe I do talk about dicks a lot. But you guys listen, so what's that say about you?

No, I'm not gay. I do support gay rights though. If I lose listeners for that, they're not the kinda people I want tuning in anyway.

Christmas, in three days. Can you believe it? I sure as hell can't. I haven't really even thought about it much, but I guess the sleep deprivation's kicking in. It hit me like a sucker punch to the gut, as if the extra rampant consumerism and five million covers of the same jolly old songs didn't clue me in.

Yet another holiday that's been warped by society into something unrecognizable. The church positioned it to overshadow Saturnalia, then the corporations took from the church and ran. Where did the real Christmas spirit go? Where's the joy, the love? It's all about money, money, money anymore. Ain't it funny?

[drama-galaxy]

Like yeah. I know that none of us are immune to propaganda. But like. Some of y'all. Holy shit.

[happy-harry-hardon]

i hate all of my friends. ALL OF THEM. What would you say????

Damn, all of them? Find new friends. Common sense. Then again, I guess sense isn't so common these days.

Clearly someone fucked up. I don't know who, but regardless, either you or them will be dodging a bullet if you find new friends.

[happy-harry-hardon]

everything sucks man. its like everyday you wake up and do the same thing over and over again

Yeah, you can say that again. Life sucks. We're all just going through the motions, trudging our way through high school hell. It's gonna be monotonus, and it's gonna eat you from the inside out.

Unless you do something about it, that is. You have to take it upon yourself to spice things up. You only live once, y'know. And if you do it right? That's more than enough. Go crazy!

[happy-harry-hardon]

I was reading back over some of the letters I've recieved, and it really got me thinking.

Anonymity is such a funny thing. Most of us are so afraid of being seen, and I mean really seen, for what we are. It's easy to fall into the habit of putting forth only the palatable parts and ignoring the fact that we're all at least a little fucked up underneath.

But happens when the prying eyes are shut tight and you can say anything without fear of judgement? The simple answer: people let loose. And honestly, it's interesting to see just how dirty the dogs get when you take off the shock collar.

[happy-harry-hardon]

hello harry. this is tweety @wingedmadonna. i don't know if that counts as a number equivalent or not so i won't be upset if you don't respond.

i don't want to vent too much, but do you have any advice on friendships? there's this girl i used to be really close to, but after our mutual friend died she started acting a lot more like her i think to honor her memory or something. but she's really mean now and i'm her latest bullying target. i understand her grief and all that but i really mourn the friendship we had. i want to get it back but i don't want to risk myself too much, even though that makes me a coward.

we have this other mutual friend, i'll call her v (she's still alive and i've never been more in love with someone in my life) who's been through a lot of stuff lately and i want to be there to support her but we're not super close and i don't feel like i have the mental energy to be of much help anyway. but she's been fighting a lot with my friend and i don't want to get between them either. i worry if i hang out with v more my friend will get even more upset with me, but if i try to make up with my friend v won't like me anymore (i dragged her into a bad situation a bit ago and what if another misstep would make her cut me off?)

it's all really complicated and a bit over my head. i'm not actually that good at social calculations. if you're any good i'd really appreciate your help or your listeners'

much thanks,

tweety

Hey again, Tweety. The number thing is just for letters. I'm answering asks regardless of whether or not they're anonymous.

Sorry to hear about your friend passing, that's never an easy thing.

I'm not gonna lie to you, I wouldn't consider myself an authority on friendship. I don't really have any friends myself. What I do know, though, is grief isn't an excuse to treat people like shit and not wanting to risk yourself like that doesn't make you a coward.

As for the situation with V, sometimes the best way to support someone is just being there. Especially if you don't have the energy to do much else. It might not seem like a lot, but it can mean the world to someone who's going through the wringer.

Personally, I'd stick with V. I wouldn't put up with whatever bullshit your other friend is pulling. You deserve better treatment than that. Besides, you're already dealing with stuff. Being bullied is sure as hell not gonna help you recover.

And if you need anything, feel free to reach out.

people really hate when teenagers do anything at all

[happy-harry-hardon]

Harry, what's your favourite drink?

My favorite drink? Probably wild cherry diet Pepsi. Y'know these things are supposed to be about you guys though, right? I mean, not that I mind answering this kinda question.

[happy-harry-hardon]

My boyfriend doesn't love me

Look, I don't know the first thing about love. If I did, I wouldn't be sitting here all alone. I think common sense would say to dump him, though. There's gotta be somebody out there who will appreciate you way more than he does.
