i had to do triage for an unhoused person’s dog yesterday and i’m still traumatized. dog probably didn’t survive the night. retail doesn’t pay me enough for psychic trauma in the workplace.

highly recommend having homoerotic tension w an older woman who throws a tantrum when you’re not working and is generally vile to everyone but you but sometimes you bc that’s part of it

“It's the most passion that you have without sex,” says Clemons. “Two androgynous beings becoming one. It's love. It's two men—two strong, very virile men—finding that space in life where they can let go enough of their masculinity to feel the passion of love and respect and trust. Friendships are based on those things, and you seal it with a kiss.”

“When a list is made of the key pop cultural artifacts of wartime anxiety and the post-World War II atomic age, with its rhythms of fragmentation and a hint of the apocalypse, that list must include bebop, Waiting for Godot, Jackson Pollock and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.”

— Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune

In 1948 Jerry Lewis told a Hollywood reporter, “There’s nothing we do that another act couldn’t do, and maybe better, but it’s the way we feel about each other that nobody can duplicate. There couldn’t be two men who are as close to each other as we are.”

Me when my cockblocking bff and my ex husband with whom i just reunited after 20 years stumble through a serenade on my telethon in the wee hours of the morning only for him to leave unceremoniously and for us to not speak to each other for another ten goddamn years
