They all hate me they stare at me with such hatred
I’m just worthless. So worthless. Why do I do this to myself. Pathetic. So pathetic. You should cut more. Like them. You should reach beans. Like them.

inexplicably my favorite part of this whole poem
A screenshot of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," at the tailend of 32. A gigantic beauty of a stallion, fresh and responsive to my caresses, Head high in the forehead, wide between the ears, Limbs glossy and supple, tail dusting the ground, Eyes full of sparkling wickedness, ears finely cut, flexibly moving. His nostrils dilate as my heels embrace him, His well-built limbs tremble with pleasure as we race around and return. I but use you a minute, then I resign you, stallion, Why do I need your paces when I myself out-gallop them? Even as I stand or sit passing faster than you.

Why do I do this to myself?

I need to stop beating my brain into a corner.

We?

You mean the shitbags who have rigged the last few elections and grabbed power?

Why do you think of them as 'America'?

And I ask nothing of my countrymen that I am not willing to do myself.

This is my DD2.

And this is why I very rarely put actual photos of myself online: there are too many creeps who will do this to photos of women and children. (from @jamesrball.com's piece here www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...)

The truth is, it's not going to happen because I'm not going to make the effort to make it happen. I don't know how to do it and I figure at this point why bother. I've felt this way for over a decade and half. The why bother part. I hate being down on myself. Stupid period cycle.

This doesn't reflect my thoughts or beliefs in any way...but I do have to deeply ask myself why this was so easy for me to write.

I think about this dilemma a lot in light of a passage from Isaac Bashevis Singer, who startled me in how hard he bites the bullet of being willing to disagree with God on a moral issue. I'd never seen someone so willing to do so before. I've seen "I struggle with XYZ" a lot, but not this.
Vegetarianism is my religion. I became a consistent vegetarian some twenty-three years ago. Before that, I would try over and over again. But it was sporadic. Finally, in the mid-1960s, I made up my mind. And I’ve been a vegetarian ever since. When a human kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice. Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others. Why should man then expect mercy from God? It’s unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give. It is inconsistent. I can never accept inconsistency or injustice. Even if it comes from God. If there would come a voice from God saying, “I’m against vegetarianism!” I would say, ‘Well, I am for it!” This is how strongly I feel in this regard. In orthodox religious circles, this would be considered heretical. Still, I consider myself a religious man. I’m not against organized religion, but I don’t take part in it. Especially when they interpret their religious books as being in favor of meat-eating. Sometimes they say He wants sacrifice and the killing of animals. If this is true, then I would never be able to comply. But I think God is wiser and more merciful than that. And there are interpretations of religious scriptures which support this, saying that vegetarianism is a very high ideal.

Why limit myself to winning one CYL when I could win two in a row? Make sure to vote for your favorite sensei in this pre-CYL thing for Shadows! What shadow form do you think Byleth would take? Dragon, wolf, capybara?? 🤔

Thinking about this incredible passage from Torrey Peters’ “The Masker” for no reason in particular.
“Because on the bad days, I went home and put on a female mask, and I felt sexy and relaxed and at peace. Do you know what a gift that is? Normal people, they have to drink alcohol, they have to take cocaine, to kick their dogs, bully their wives, or punch strangers at bars. But you and I have a superpower. You can just go home and put on a sissy dress. But you’re not grateful for your gift. You think it means something is wrong with you, that you should be a woman. Actually, you are as you were intended to be. Every transsexual I have met has wasted their gift and picked up so many worse habits to replace it. But our gift can bring us joy.” In the dark, I feel his hand drop mine. Lightly he traces the outline of my clit with the back of his nails through the panties he got me. I haven’t come yet, and almost instantly, my body responds. I like what he’s saying. I’ve told myself similar things so many times. Why can’t I just let my cross- dressing be a fetish? What if I was unashamed of it and let it be a small, contained, but important part of my life? What if I just owned it? If I told my friends—hey, this is something I like and do alone, same as anything they’re into. Why does my particular fetish have to take such precedence that I change my whole life, my whole body, just to accord with it? Why can’t it be a gift just as it is? “Everything is in balance for me.” Felix is still toying with me. “You’ve seen pictures of my house and pool. I love being a father—I taught my daughter to play soccer, and she’s varsity even though she’s only a freshman. My parents back in Argentina get to be grandparents. You understand? It’s a good life.” I’m grinding my pelvis back against his hand and Felix is saying, “I take care of my family, and I have my little escapades. My favorite is when I can share them with someone like you. I want more with you. You’re so pretty. Men will want you just as you are. If you embrace yourself, you’ll always have people to share yourself with.

it just confuses me why everyone in my life locks up, they ask me what i want, need, and desire, and I say it, and it's a shock, it's just this thing they can't do and it's never a lot. It's space to do my thing, and clean up after themselves, make it so I have space to enjoy myself, or if people
