In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

Had this conversation run through my head while driving home from the airport, and I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I’m gonna put here anyways:

(In the Voice of Benoit Blanc, from the Knives Out Series):

“Oh, come on now, that’s just a load of hooey! Now come on, you’re gonna tell me that I shouldn’t support the LGBTQ community because ‘the Bible said so’? It was single line, a mere streak in an exquisite painting. And if anything, it barely says it! It’s horribly translated, to be frank, and can mean anything from “Don’t have gay sex as a sacrifice in a temple” to “Don’t do what the Greeks are doing and have a little boy be your lover”. Of all the interpretations of that verse, you chose the only one that even, in a fraction of the sense, alludes to hating gay people.

But you want to know what is said multiple times, through clear translation and honesty, ?

‘Be kind. Be respectful. And be a good person.’

And that is what separates the truth from your blatant disregard for what is held there. Again and again, it preaches that those who will reap the benefits, the world even (!), are those who treat others with kindness and respect, and do so because they know it is right. And they shall be the ones to win the game. Et viola!

Furthermore, I fear the day, you bumbling Buffon, that when you stand before your God, and you have to answer him when he asks you, “Why did you practice hate, when I taught you love?”

I’m sorry, to all of you. I didn’t mean to get that confrontational, and I meant no harm. I wish those of you who do be kind a good day. I rest my case here.”

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

Another song preview! This time it's "Body Noirer", by Chuck Salamone. (He recently released a brand-new album, CRT Dreams. Go check it out!) It plays in a town inside a frozen corpse and inhabited by maggot mobsters.

Earth Listener's personalized Archetrope Symbol

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
