Happy Pride! Phrog was feeling a little nervous, but may make it out to celebrate later this month. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I know it's summer when I go on my little sea walk and I hear the seals singing. They go

OooOOOOOOwooooOooo

They are in the distance. Perhaps 50 metres from land? But the sound carries. People used to say they sang the laments of mothers whose sons were lost at sea. It is strange and haunting, certainly.

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today

i will literally pet my cat with my foot for like, 15 minutes, and she'll be having a great time, purring up a storm, and then she'll look over and see its my foot and fucking yell at me. like straight on chew me out. and i know its not the sensation that bothers her because she'll be happy as a clam until she looks over, it purely the knowledge that the thing petting her was My Foot. she considers it disrespectful.

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

― Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Reading this Dennis Cooper book that's supposed to be soooo edgy and then the narrator witnesses some light scat play and has a complete breakdown about it and has to get high to cope... fucking amateurs.

when James Baldwin said I can’t be a pessimist because I’m alive

[stuckinapril]

when James Baldwin said to be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive whatever we must survive.

I know Degas ultimately rejected the alternative title of Le viol (The Rape) for this work, but this is still what I call it, because this is the only place where I have ever seen this exact moment captured. It is like that!

Looking at my notes from a meeting I had last week and it just says QUESTIONS: ask quistians

[doctorprofessorsong]

As an older queer, allow me to say: the walls of the closet are load-bearing. It is our job as a community to stand in front of that door and tell everyone who wants to peek inside to fuck off.

There are so many reasons a person may choose not to come out and there is no reason a person would owe the public or a stranger that information. Certainly it's not owed simply because someone is famous.

We have fought for decades to make it safer for people to be open and authentic about themselves, but we are not yet there. And even if we were, the closet would still be something we need to maintain for those who are not ready to reveal that part of themselves.

May we never become so obsessed with representation that we forget the sanctity of privacy.
