Turns out I'm writing a book guys💀

I didn't even realize until I started making and entire notebook about a fictional world with rebels who are overthrowing a dysfunctional government.

So that's fun.

I'm not publishing any time soon so don't try looking for it.

I'll be posting some concepts eventually for some....creatures... and a couple of the characters.

I've been practicing cello to prepare for my first live performance since.... uh........ undergrad? Like straight up 8 years ago????

I'm playing at my sister's friend's wedding because their organist bailed on them 2 weeks before the wedding. About 30 minutes of "whatever classical shit you want to play in the background as people come in IDGAF" and then 3 requests for walking down the aisle/a certain point in the ceremony.

The requests are fun because I'm more or less also arranging them for cello, as unsurprisingly the vast majority of songs only have piano arrangements. So I get to be a bit creative with it.

But the "30 minutes of whatever" is ALSO fun, because I've been whipping out all of my Suzuki (TM) books and playing pieces I haven't touched in over a decade. Like the first movement of that Haydn cello concerto was the hardest piece I ever learned back in high school, and it's..... IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD ANYMORE.

I've been spending so long "practicing" cello by playing my own music, making my own arrangements, dicking around, going nuts, experimenting, recording myself... and it feels really good to know that in doing all that I have been improving as both a musician and a cellist. Like since I did formal lessons through high scool I know *how* to practice when I need to, and I have a ton of repertoire to pull from, but ever since then I've been just growing as a musician in general. So going back to these old "hard" songs and finding them super playable just feels good.

Hashtag growth

(also I used to have THE WORST performance anxiety because I felt like if I made ANY mistakes then I had Failed TM. But now I'm like, well, if I practice it'll sound good. If I fuck up here or there oh well. It'll be fine. Basically I've chilled the fuck out lmao)

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

my dead goth son and his friendly neighborhood personified concept of insanity

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet

I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.
