the legendary post... I’ve only ever seen screenshots

I’ll never not be amused by the fact that I can drop the words “crucifix nail nipples” into a conversation and some of you who have been with me since the livejournal days will join me in the flashbacks, screaming and crying all the way.

you hear about recovery not being linear (”there are ups and downs”), but actually it’s more like a game of wack-a-mole. this is not a bad thing

Black-on-Black crime is merely a deflection from the real problems at hand. End of story.

Starkid 2020: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism death is inevitable and no amount of material wealth can fill the gaping void in your miserable life

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

so every dot on this map is basically someone’s queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them

it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world who’ve shared their experiences. it’s great to look at places near you but it’s also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives

hey, all academic research should be publicly accessible. make use of some of those billions of dollars being misused on military spending, and get rid of paywalls. 

this is a basic investment in the future. when you put scientific advancement behind a paywall, you are literally slowing down the speed of human progress

reminder to expect massive fraud from the trump admin this election. letting inertia keep you from voting is the first step to preventing the huge turnout we need. the government is going to do everything in their considerable power to prevent your vote from counting.  

tell them to get fucked.
