feralities

nantucket-rescue-and-clinic

feralities

giving em away all the time
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
they're going off to good homes
I make sure of it
Plus there's only so many I can take care of on my own
feralities
how can ye tell they're good
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
Lot a paperwork. Lot a questions.
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
Gut feelings. You can tell when a person cares about an animal, and when you can’t the animal sure can
Animals are better at knowing who’s good and bad than people are
feralities
they should be putting starbuck on the witness stand at trials
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
Ms. Kowal'd have a field day I'm sure
Its not a moral judgement, Munro. Just knowing who's willing to love them and who doesn't give a shit about em
Loving a pet and being good for them doesn't have shit to do with the law
feralities
wait really
the law and morality line up so neatly on other shit
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
animals don't got a frame of reference for grand larceny or whatever
they know if you love them and mean it and nothing else matters. S'the beauty of em
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
i'd rather give a pet over to a petty criminal who's gonna love and take care of them than am upstanding citizen who only wants a pet to match their picket fence
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
i'd rather give a pet over to a petty criminal who's gonna love and take care of them than am upstanding citizen who only wants a pet to match their picket fence
feralities
what about a non-petty criminal
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
listen munro a pet can't tell the differene
unless their crimes are animal abuse they don't give a shit
we don't deserve them end of story
feralities
i'm just fuckin with ye jack
ye dinnae think much of people huh
nantucket-rescue-and-clinic
doesn't matter what i think or don't think of em unless they want to buy a pet

[10:04:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i am OBVIOUSLY not feeling it, and you continue
[10:04:AM] MattCarlin: Sometimes I think you pre-judge things, you said several things that were wrong about hte films, so I tried to tell you that.
[10:04:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i dont give a fuck if i prejudge them
[10:04:AM] MattCarlin: You are stubborn, though,
and proved my point that you pre-judge. You just get upset with me. I did not beat a dead horse, I made counterarguments.
[10:05:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i am black gay man in a white world
[10:05:AM] MattCarlin: Comedy is important.
[10:05:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i embrace things that reflect me
[10:05:AM] TrevorBrklyn: comedy is NOT important for me
[10:05:AM] TrevorBrklyn: REALITY IS
[10:08:AM] MattCarlin: I realize this, I think we could avoided this whole thing if you didn't tell me that you don't prejudge things. Now you have admitted that you do...that's fine, I won't try to change your mind about things that you pre-judge, by giving you more complete information
[10:08:AM] TrevorBrklyn: whatever
[10:08:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i am so done with this, i am in a foul mood and its all your fault, now i need to purge this bad energy
[10:09:AM] MattCarlin: I think you were in a foul mood to begin with.
If I had realized this sooner I would have approached you differently today.
[10:09:AM] TrevorBrklyn: no actually i wasnt
[10:09:AM] TrevorBrklyn: you dont respect boundaries
[10:10:AM] MattCarlin: Well, clearly something deep went on in your buidling this morning. Instead of telling me that you through it out as a point in the middle of a discussion like I was supposed to be a mind reader.
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: you miss the point
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: YOU DO NOT RESPECT BOUNDARIES
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: we had a difference of opinion
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: no matter how mis-informed i was
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: you need to respect that
[10:10:AM] TrevorBrklyn: if i wish to be enlightened i would say so
[10:10:AM] MattCarlin: Well, I think that you tell me when you think I'm wrong or misinformed on everything
[10:11:AM] TrevorBrklyn: if not you need to let it go
[10:11:AM] TrevorBrklyn: its a fucking movie for christmas-sake
[10:11:AM] TrevorBrklyn: its hardly the most important thing in my life right now
[10:11:AM] MattCarlin: I understand you point.
[10:12:AM] MattCarlin: your
[10:13:AM] MattCarlin: Would you please tell me what happened in your building, did you know this person?
[10:13:AM] TrevorBrklyn: i dont want to talk to you anymore
[10:14:AM] TrevorBrklyn: your at work, go do some
[10:14:AM] MattCarlin: okay.
Session Close (MattCarlin): Fri Apr 25 10:14:15 2003
[Afterword: My goddess I am so pleased I came across this argument, I had a feeling of great nostalgia reading the sixty pages before this fight. What I love is it perfectly encapsulates the main issue I had with Matt, first of all he seemed actively interested in divesting from anything related to his cultural background instead attempting to always welcome whiteness in all of its overly nuanced forms. That didn't sit well with me then, and damned sure doesn't sit well with me now!
I mentioned one film to him with a Dominican lead and an all Latin cast. I bought up the fact that there was some kind of domestic assault in my building that very day. And he's gonna get up on the cross about A Mighty Wind (2003), Best in Show (2000) and finally Chicago (2002) which I did see eventually because regardless of Queen Latifah I have always really loved musicals.
This is the thing that is hardest to admit, Matt was whyte. Regardless of his moms being central castings archetype for a Boricua mom, Matt was doing everything to divorce himself from his maternal cultural background and embrace the anonymity of whiteness, the boringness of whiteness, the universal alleged default of whiteness. And he wasn't seeing and I doubt he still sees I wasn't there for any of it.
If I wasn't represented on the screen I had no interest in spending my hard-earned money on it. This remains true today, I will always place culturally diverse film above some satire mockumentary high-end comedy with a bunch of whyte people. With the exception of Chicago his other two film recommendations had all overtly whyte cast, talking about very whyte things. #HardPass.
But its his obstinance that really gets to me, how many times did I have to say, and yell in digital vernacular that I WAS NOT INTERESTED. And for someone who allegedly knows me so well, he should have known then as now, I am not one to be bullied, debated or peer pressured into changing my mind. He says he loves my uniqueness, but this is also a part of me, my commitment to my convictions, my sense of agency and my fierce pride in my Blackness.
Matt was fellating the Caucasian cock of whytness, while I was saying Black is beautiful, and if we ain't in it I ain't interested. But this I think broke the camel's proverbial back, as I have learned folks don't change, and he wasn't going to change and I wasn't going down the entitled-lace road of whytness to a whitey McWhyte whyte world. That was never part of my faith or belief system.
Even in college I was very pro-Black all the time, these traits didn't just show up later. If anything it was more present being that my Blackness was the pivotal issue others had with me on campus, earning me a NIGGER sprawled on my door in the quads. As dick-sucking and man-ass fucking as I was, at the end of the day I was still an affirmative action financial aid needing ghetto monkey.
I thought about it, there is one thing that would grant Matt potential entry back into my life, and that is if he spoke fluent Spanish, which I very much doubt he does. You know why, because for me it would be the right price to pay for all the access his whytness has given him. It would be an appropriate cost and more importantly an honoring of an ethnicity his mother and brother could never deny, hide or pass with. It would show me that he had some level of penance for his past transgressions and he had finally acknowledged and embraced his Boriqua heritage. But we shall never know cause I am leaving the past in the past.
