US Homophobes: I'm moving to Canada!

Canada: We have gay marriage.

US Homophobes: Oh... well then England...

England: We have it too.

Mexico: And us.

Lebanon: Us too.

Netherlands: Had it for ages.

New Zealand: Gay marriage all the time everyday.

US Homophobes: Is there any country we can go to where gay people can't marry?

Australia: *Sweats nervously*

This song is such a gem. It's from the movie Into The Wild, which Eddie Vedder wrote all the music for. If you love nature or the outdoors, this song is for you. It has such a beautiful message, and how the greatest love some people may have is just the world around us. Also, the idea of just disconnecting from society to fall in love with the thing many people forget about. And the instruments in this song are just so pretty and well done, it’s like they’re lyrics as well. enjoy

Baja           4/7/21

my black dog Baja 

stares up, blinking at pedals

falling from a tree 

fault

i am still, quiet

and yet I always still say 

it’s somehow my fault

I wrote this little poem based on a picture I took when I saw a cracked mirror on a Philly street in the rain. I then put the image though an ai art generator. I was so amazed at how beautifully it turned out, and so I wrote a short poem to go along with it.

this pride month I am wishing everyone a very stop overanalyzing yourself and just have fun with it. have gay sex. don't have any sex. try on a new gender. stop caring about gender at all. talk to your doctor about hormones. go on a date. break up with the person you dont love. whatever it is you have been putting off doing by dithering about it in your head. just do that and fully experience how it feels without trying to put it into words. if you still need a word for it later there will be one. they aren't going anywhere. but people were here before language and there's only so far language can go in giving you a fulfilling human experience. so if you are hiding behind finding the right words for whatever it is your heart wants i hope this month you get the courage to just do it instead.

well may be           4/28/21

humans, so aware 

understanding disasters 

as there well may be

ask                4/26/21

wanting to ask you 

not scared of your response, my friend 

but the thoughts inside
