sad news

For those of you who knew @gole-yakh, they left this world last week after a long and vicious illness. Please keep their family and chosen family in your thoughts.

In their own words: 'praise be the trans queer rabble rousing discomfort inflictors!'

a record

a record  of important words, excerpts, etc from David Wojnarowicz's From the Diaries of a Wolf Boy and The Waterfront Journals.

I felt that blush in my chest as we talked stupid talk never quite revealing our queerness to each other but somehow wordlessly generating volumes of desire like some kind of sublanguage that makes you want to splash into it even with all its tensions.

I was falling, like from the portal of a plane way up in the skies... In those years I fell in love easily: gestures of an arm, the simple line of a vein in the neck, the upturning of a jaw in dim light, the lines of a body beneath clothing, the clear light of the eyes when your faces almost touch.

The feeling of dislocation was really about dreaming too much in this guy's movements.  There was nothing ahead of me but a return to the streets of New York unless there's something called love but it probably doesn't exist except in the mythologies we're fed in the media or by lying to ourselves over time. It's not only the urge to climb inside someone's skin and fuse in the rivers of their blood; it's wanting to leave the face of the planet, our bodies rolling against each other in the cool spacious sky.  But this guy couldn't verbalize anything that touched his sexuality; he had a look of pain when I strayed near words so I slid back in to my solitary drift and waited till his hands began to move towards me.

Death was a smudge in the distance.  I don't know what exactly I mean by that but lying down inside this cradle of arms in my head was sometimes all I wanted.  Sometimes I wonder what planet I got dropped off from; what foreign belly did I get birthed from. This shit is painful, it's like being on a raft way out in the middle of a sea completely alone.  I wave my hands in front of me, I know I'm not invisible, why are my thoughts so fucking loud? I'm lost in a world that's left all its mythologies behind in the onward crush of wars and civilization, my body traveling independent of brushes with life and death, no longer knowing what either means anymore. I'm so tired of feeling weary and alien, even my dreams look stupid to me. They belong to another world, another century, maybe another gender that fits the codes of all this shit. I don't know.

(but mussels would make me happier.)

Queer beach makeover! Yeah!

I’m getting rid of some of my swimwear, as i’ve come to realize that my preferred swim suit is the one i was born in. 

1. Underworks swim suit. $30 for the top, $15 for the bottom. Or $40 for the set!

Top is a Medium 918, Bottom is a Small 908. For sizing info, see here for top and bottom. The top has been worn once. Bottom has been worn maybe 10 times, has a little more history- it’s been to Coney Island, the Puget Sound, and the Colorado River! There’s a front mesh lining that could easily be turned in to a pocket for your packie!

2. Saturn Sarong! $5!

This was a purchase from a trip to Greece many years ago… before the Euro!! It has gotten very little use, so it has no signs of wear. It’s a bit wrinkled because it’s been in a box in my closet, waiting to be let out into the sunshine and shown off at Riis. It measures about 1 meter x 2 meters.

3. Marimacho Coney Island Swim Top (Medium) $30

Worn once, to the Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge! This top does not bind, but it is very comfortable. It is out of stock on the Marimacho website, but usually sells for $50.

4. Old Navy Ace of Spades board shorts (Men’s Medium) $0

FREE to a good home! These are about six years old, but i don’t swim often, so they haven’t gotten much use. The drawstring is a little discolored from Chlorine. It used to be a black string, now it’s dark grey. They come down to the top of my knees, and fit comfortably and more slimly than they appear.

5. The North Face Flight Series lightweight jacket (Women’s Small) $15

I can’t find a link to the original specs, but this is a great jacket. It’s too small for me, unfortunately. It is a very light jacket, mostly lightweight fleece, with breathable panels on the sides - not quite mesh, but as light as that. Perfect for spring/fall biking, or midnight beach parties when the temperature drops.

Preference goes to NYC area folks, to avoid the need for shipping, but if you really want something and you wanna pay to ship, it won’t cost much, since it’s all very light-weight!

My dream used to be to have a dog and tour with a circus. Now i'm too busy to have a dog, and usually too busy to work for the circus. 

I like my life, i like this other community of other weirdos. but there's less trees, and less frolicking naked in the woods, and a lot less dogs.

Everyone's moving to LA anyway.

dream log: 2am-4:30am

at jim findlay’s dream of the red chamber.

For once, i did not dream. i awoke over and over again in delicately crafted moments- both choreographed and accidental. a friend walking across the room to me. a performer shifting through the curtains above my bed. ‘Yes. I...
