Remember. Nothing is worth deadening yourself to your own emotions. You do not belong to the realm of stories. You are not an echo. Nothing is worth more than authentically experiencing the moments that make up your reality. Nothing is worth worshipping.

Imagine being a gay boy in ancient times and it's your first time at the public bathhouse and you've never seen so many different men with so many different bodies and their muscular thighs and backs and hairy buttocks and you get really scared for some reason and you're trying to get out of there and this man a little older than you sees you trying to hide your boner and he comes over and shields you and he holds your face and he says it's okay and then he pulls you into an alcove and rapes you. Would that be fucked up or what?

I decided not to kill myself because I read Bringing Nature Home by Doug Tallamy and I'm going to become an expert in habitat restoration and dedicate the rest of my life to pulling up invasive vines and advocating for insects. I'm ready to use escapism less. I'm not going to be on this account very much. See you in the pit.

You are trapped in fantasy while the real world around you rots and dies.

Becoming Animal

This was the main part of my thesis from last year, an exploration of my experience growing up being encouraged to leave behind the connection to nature I had as a kid, and now my journey into reforming that connection.
