Seen enough dead wife posts on my dashboard that I am double locking my doors while I get leveled by pain. Nuhuh babes I am not joining the legion of the dead today 😂
Once upon a time in a fairytale, I want to make you mine
Forever intertwined in this paradigm
I want to make you mine with the Elixir of Life
As we barrel into another Pride Month, we will inevitably all see the stupidest, coldest, most reductive, exclusionary, assimilationist nonsense discourse simmer to the surface of social media again like scum foaming up on a long simmering soup.
And when that happens, whether it's garbage takes about trans people, or ace people, or nonbinary people, or neopronouns, or he/him lesbians, or bi women with boyfriends, or furries, or *what the fuck ever*- remember-
You do not need to quibble over the details. You do not need verbally spar on every hill that dipshits want to die on.
Just stop and ask- hey, does this fucking matter?
Does it matter if some queer people do _____? Does it cause any actual, measurable, material harm? Is this *actually* a problem? Be specific. Beyond just 'it makes me uncomfortable' and 'but that doesn't make sense' - does it actually *matter*?
Because if the answer is no, then who the fuck cares?
I don't care if something is confusing, or illogical, or weird, or makes you uncomfortable. Does it actually harm anyone? No? Then mind your fucking business.
Its not your responsibility to Lincoln-Douglass debate every overzealous puritan and under-informed tween on the complex nuance and inherent political context of the queer experience. Focus on what matters . Ask them what, if any, harm does ____ actually do, and THAT is all you need to address. (Oh you wanna defend ___ spaces? Which spaces specifically? What are you worried about happening? Oh is ____ normalizing ____? Does it? Does that...matter?)
Because even if other people dont like it, Queer People will continue to be weird, messy, confusing, contradictory, illogical, and strange as we all do our fucking best to be ourselves as best we can be. The way we survive and grow and thrive is by giving each other the grace and space to do so, whether or not we deeply, logically resonate with whatever others have going on.
And we don't talk shit about each other. We don't take pot shots at the queers who are queerer than we are. Throwing other queer people under the bus has never made things better.
So. Circle the wagons, close the ranks, and get comfortable rubbing elbows with people who are, you know, freaks and weirdos.
Happy Pride.
Its evangelist day in my neighborhood, we have several openly queer households so you know why. Come closer, your god will protect you remember? You're perfectly safe. Just a little closer.
So I can smack you with a broom. Not my nice witch one, but the one I just swept up a dead spider with.

BOTH of my eyes are two different colors.
ONE of my eyes is two different colors.
I don’t have eyes.
Collectively everyone looks at me like I am bonkers when I say this, but please tell me other people can smell when water is boiling? It smells different! I can tell between little bubbles and big ones from across the house.
Moose suggested its because I'm a witch lol
Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation
This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
I guess the nice (ugh) thing about all these years of storm brain is that I can look at radar and be within 15 minutes of when my head is going to become ungovernable.
Do I particularly like having a countdown? No. But it does mean I know how much I need to get done in the next 5 hours. And that it needs to be enough to get us through the next 5 days of storms. 🙃

I must not explain the joke. Explaining the joke is the joke-killer. I will face my followers who did not get the joke. I will permit them to pass over me and through me
you are making this so difficult
*flicks holy water on you* leave
Need a hug from this guy real bad 😔
