Been a while since I've done one of these, but here's a snippet of the next chapter of Serenity, Courage, Wisdom. It's even just six sentences, a miracle!

***

Evelyn didn't get up, didn't reach out her hand to a girl who looked like she would bite.

But she did smile, that smile, her whole body lit up, and Christy tried to stop the rush of love and memory from overpowering her, but she was helpless underneath that tsunami.

“So you're the bitch that dumped my grandma.”

Her mouth hung open as she stared at the girl next to her. Her face was hard, her cheeks inflamed, but she was resolute, righteous in her fury at Evelyn.

“Go outside.”

I think it's a misuse of your big platform to allow the spreading of transgenderism! We do not need those freaks on this earth

I need those freaks actually, and I'm going to use my platform to spread transgenderism like Judas spread his legs for Jesus.

you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.)

he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like.

he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

scurvy has got to have one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unraveling and old wounds come back to haunt you like vengeful ghosts. unless☝️you eat a lemon

It has just occurred to me that tumblr's mascot should be a tumbleweed. Think about it:

We're considered a ghost town by the rest of the internet.

Everybody has seen posts (tumbleweeds) from here even if they don't know where they come from.

Tumblr people can seem quiet for long stretches only to descend en masse on topics of interest.

(imagine this house is Dracula Daily or Goncharov)

And of course because it's only one letter away from tumblrweed!!!
