shoutout to that trans flag we painted a communist symbol on as an actual activity at camp last year, then hung in the rug room while chanting communist slogans (mostly in the genre of “stop having the working class being oppressed”), which this year hung like a curtain in front of my friend’s bunk in our cabin. hell yeah

THE MOON IS A SATELLITE NOT FOR SAD-ELITES!

Ok, someone's already probably put this story here, so sorry if you have but this is like the first time a tumblr-worthy story has happened near me so

so my friend at camp got poisoned by tampons.

my penis-possessing, biological definition of male friend. (he also identifies as male if ur the kind of person who is bothered by not knowing that sort of thing like me)

aright lemmie tell you how this came about

so at camp weve got this thing called cit run where all the counselors-in-training go out into town to do our laundry and buy us shit like ramen and nutella and hair dye and 2 liter bottles of soda even tho we aren't supposed to get them cuz thats the only kind the store has

and we get to dress them up in weird costumes

so first cit run we dressed up our cit (ima call him nate) in a full length snow leopard skirt, a purple-leopard-and-palm-fronds-and-maybe-coconuts? sun dress, a white hawaiian shirt with small sailboats, a baseball cap, a bra to keep the baseball hat on, and sunglasses. and at the last minute my friend (lets call her penny) ties a tampon to each arm of his sunglasses.

so at the end of the day when all the cits come back hes not with them?

and so during check in (just before bed, we tell each other about our days) hes sitting on the bed and he says "I got poisoned by a tampon and that's why I wasn't here when the rest came back because I was at the nurse" or something along those lines.

so apparently he was drinking coffee and one of the tampons fell into the coffee and because he was tired and thought it would be funny and really wanted his coffee, he made the brilliant decision to suck the coffee out of the tampon and then drink the coffee.

so apparently tampons have all these weird chemicals and toxic shit in them (which actually increases the chance of getting toxic shock, whoda thunk?)

he felt very sick for the rest of the day.

this inspired a whole slew of jokes

"how high are you? tampon" (or was it how sick are you)

"on a scale of one to tampon, how sick are you? yes"

"dont to tampons, kids"

randomly yelling "dont eat tampons!" and "dont drink coffee out of tampons!" at him (and occasionally other people)

etc.

we have fun at camp

so at the end of camp im hugging my friend goodbye and he whispers in my ear "im gonna fuck a bear" and then says slightly louder than a speaking voice (im very specific) (i dont remember if he moved back a bit or if he ended the hug first) "AND IM GONNA LIKE IT" and then turns to my dad (whos standing there like wtf) and says "she can explain it" and leaves and my dad's just like "so you gonna tell me what he's gonna do and like it?" and im pretty sure i just shook my head and said "no. it's too complicated."

backstory: my friend was going around saying he was gonna fuck a bear and like it and occasionally saying he already had and at one point my other friend told him that "bear" was gay slang for a big, hairy gay guy and he said "oh so that's what they meant when they told me to fuck a bear."

(hey friend u know who you are contact me ur number wasnt in the yearbook and i need to talk to you)
