Lovely Wife has been out of town for less than 48 hours and the speed at which I reverted to “I use the same one bowl and one glass for all meals and simply rinse them in between uses” has been startling. Sad University Boy ever lurks
just below the surface.

my friend is at the tattoo convention on wheeling island in wheeling, west virginia, and I want to be clear and send a warning to purple states. This is what happens when you drive away all the gay people, all the people of color, and all the creatives. This is what you get. Think on that.

I really don't know how to describe what is on stage but whatever you are thinking it is weirder and not to the beat

you can just feel the electricity in the air and suck it all in and when you were younger go with it but now get your fill at a safe distance then hit the grocery store for three days of supplies because you don't want to be out on the road in town this weekend

But I will always have to live near a college or university town. I know I sound like an energy vampire, but those young fuckers really do keep you alive. Like on a September weekend before a big ball game and the sun is out on friday and there are lots of house parties and people arriving

I like that there is all sort of life and activity going on around me, but at a distance and I don't have to be a part of it. I have always been a back of the bus person if you know what I mean. Back of the bus, offensive line, back of the restaurant on the line, volunteering for night guard duty.

I was just out on the back deck in my boxers surveying the landscape at dusk, and the college kids are having a night game about a mile away and the crowd noise and announcer are rolling down the holler along the path of the creek, and it's just so nice to hear

I have almost broken my hand on my window trying to give a prominent middle finger to one when it drives by and forgetting my window is rolled up I don't even make eye contact with them just extend my arm all the way out with the middle finger all the way up

I wish more of you posted pictures of yourselves so I could unfairly judge you to make me feel better about myself "God that haircut is awful looks like she found the weight i lost"

I'm shallow but self-aware

i don't know about the rest of you but I wore grungy overalls all day on the tractor and am now in a hillbilly tank top (t-shirt with the sleeves cut out) and in the recliner about to spill penne with a red sauce on myself and i think I am close to evolving into my final form

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

remember back before cell phones when someone wouldn't see or hear from your for a whole day and wouldn't automatically assume you were dead and you could take a shit or a nap in peace?

AOC said Marjorie Taylor Green isn't mad because Bad Bunny is speaking Spanish. She said the real reason, "She's mad and they're mad [is] because she can barely speak English and the idea of introducing any new words is too much to bear. She may have just learned acetaminophen this week." ☠️

I don't know the phase of the moon or if aries is fluffing aquarius or whatever it is the septum ring crowd talks about, but my cats are wound up as fuck tonight with some serious zooms and rambunctious parkour.

No offense to the septum ring girlies I fall for you every time like a moth to flame
