if you’ve never loved a band to the point where you put on their music and just lie on the floor sobbing while still attempting to sing along to every word, then i genuinely wonder how you could ever truly love anything
Sometimes I think about this and I can’t begin to grasp it. An accident or an attack could destroy everything in an instant.
Not that one should be preoccupied with this fact. It’s simply scary, much like supervolcanoes and global warming. It would be nice if they sent all the world’s HEU to the sun or something, though.
I realised the other day that I didn’t care that the photo I’d taken was full of pimples, and I hadn’t cared in a long time. Felt like growing up (even if self-confidence has nothing to do with age or maturity). I suppose I associate ‘Shopping photos with my teenage years. How oddly sad.
I couldn’t think of the equivilent boy/girl term for non-binary-gender-having/not-having-people so I hope “humans” covers everyone OK.
Stripping Citizenship
I read today that someone who has achieved Irish citizenship through naturalisation can have that citizenship stripped from them if they move abroad without stating formally (within a certain period of time) that they wish to remain Irish citizens.
That sounds like second class citizenship to me. Quite literally.
I am not proud of this country…
I read the story in Metro Éireann: LINK
It’s where we get the phrases “bee strings” and “the birds and the bees” from. I’ll tell you what the birds do when you’re older.
Mary Jamis, a lesbian woman, was ARRESTED yesterday after she and her partner sought a marriage license in North Carolina.
Share this if you think it’s outrageous.
I feel really lucky,“although I hate that word — ‘lucky. It cheapens a lot of hard work. Living in Brooklyn in an apartment without any heat and paying for dinner at the bodega with dimes — I don’t think I felt myself lucky back then. Doing plays for 50 bucks and trying to be true to myself as an “artist and turning down commercials where they wanted a leprechaun. Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn. So I won’t say I’m lucky.

I recently contributed to this collection by the amazing Kitty Stryker, made as an antidote to those awful ‘top 10 craziest fetishes’-type posts. I write a short piece on AB and Penny Barber writes on DL. Her description of why adult diaper changing can be so erotically charged is one of the best breakdowns of the subject I have ever read.
