Listening to Time to Pretend sitting by the sea as MGMT (God) intended
Free will is a miraculous thing
Not in the christian way
But rather “I just remembered that i can take an edible and a bus into a coastal beach town to eat cheetos and watch the sunset”
He’s me. He’s daddy. He’s babygirl. He is 12 raccoons in a trenchcoat. He deserves to be treated kindly. He should be taken out back and shot. He is where dreams die and hope is born. He once ate a pie out of a dumpster that was literally on fire.
Reason 1 to finish your manuscript:
You can’t read fanfiction of your work unless you, actually, y’know, finish and publish it.
Hey so I know you’re supposed to challenge your thoughts when your mind is being cruel and unfair to you (this is true you should it works) (unless it’s intrusive thoughts then you’ve got to accept them for them to leave) (it’s a whole thing)
But like…sometime my thoughts are a funny bully.
Are you a stayer or a goer? Figure it out.
There’s no wrong choice, but it is a choice. Don’t waffle in the moment whether you should stick something out, or bail at the first chance.
My friend Cat stays. She likes the stability, likes working things out.
I’m a runner. First whiff of something wrong and I’m gone.
I’ve wished I didn’t have to run away from things. Work, friends, school. I was running away from home long before I recognized that’s what I was doing.
I’ve never regretted running away, though. I’ve always regretting staying too long.
“Faith has earned me nothing but a liar’s tongue,
A child’s grief.
Promised the sacrament, but understand-
You will not save me.
You will not save me.
But you’ll consecrate me.”
You believed in Batman, in Bruce Wayne. He was bigger than life, bigger than death…until he wasn’t. Ain’t that the way it always goes with parents?
Daddy didn’t save you, but he’ll sure make you a martyr. Every moment of your life stripped of autonomy and personhood, towards the monument of Bruce’s pain.
It becomes the thing that defines Bruce, because that’s what Bruce does with pain. He puts it in a goddamn trophy case for everyone to see. Bruce doesn’t know how to be anything but ostentatious.
You came back from death, but you’re different now. You’ll never be as squeaky clean. That’s the thing about death- it cleanses all sin. Broken men will never measure up against dead boys. Dead birds.

It is fucking devastating when you realize how little women, particularly queer women, mean to anyone.
My city had 20 Pride Month events last year. Six were explicitly for gay men. Five more centered gay men, and happened in gay men’s bars.
Two were for WLW. One got canceled, the other got turned into a “Ladies Night” so more straight women felt welcome.
None of the posters had women on them.
I live in one of the gayest cities in the country.
unsafe. insane. consensual but in the type of way where they would rather kill themselves than have an actual conversation about boundaries or safe words or even just sex in general.
Oh my god this is amazing
