Smoke signals & scratches...

the colors... oh, I see the most fantastic things... do you realize when people just close their eyes what they see? it's unbelievable... colors and things, forms of every sort... I wonder if that happens for everybody?... (Edie, 'Inner & Outer Space')

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

“queer” is such a useless term. if i tell someone im bisexual, they know i am attracted to men and women. if a man tells me he is gay, i know he is a man exclusively attracted to other men. if someone tells me they are queer, it tells me nothing about them. it doesnt tell me who they attracted to. it tells me nothing about that person.

[internettwink]

It tells me they’re trying to be a extra lil bitch and that I shouldn’t be friends with them

[terflies]

No, you probably shouldn’t, for their sake.

[star-fall-system]

yall realise thats exactly the point, right

queer covers everyone who is noncis or nonstraight

it covers the identities you want to erase or disallow from the community

it doesn’t immediately tell you private information about someone’s sexuality or gender that you aren’t entitled to

and the person in question may not even know themselves, but queer is what they know they can always use if they’re not sure except they know theyre definitely not cis/straight

you hate it because it’s too inclusive and too broad. It’s supposed to be inclusive and broad. If someone tells you they’re queer then all you need to know is that they are in some way not cis or straight and other than that it aint your business. If being told someone’s identity is none of your business pisses you off, thats a you problem

[aphony-cree]

Imagine saying you wont be friends with someone unless they disclose all details of their gender and orientation immediately upon meeting you and still feeling that you’re morally superior
