#Gay Money

[remembertheplunge]

June 11, 2005

Beginning of last volume of my 40’s I guess. It’s Saturday.

So, since Gay Pride  Parade in San Fransisco is June 27, from now until my birthday on June 20th will be a study of my first 50 years and of gaydom at large!

Age and gay: Elephants in the living room.

“Poets, artists, writers, rebels, and thinkers. “Fringe” people. From the book “Gay Money” page 117.

“Their councils are largely closed to us.”

“…if that means pushing us aside, tossing us out, or running us over if we get in their way.”  Gay Money page 123.

“Looking back, we now understand why we had to abandon that which seemed to define our life before. In many ways that life has ended…”.  Gay Money. p. 106

Jim and I sit in the den and watch “Next Food Network Star!”

A commercial.

A man has a big mansion. A fancy car. A sining group entertains him

15 minutes of fame.

Next scene: The house is in foreclosure. The car is being towed away.

Jim said to me “It’s you!  Ha ha. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

(After being fired from the Public Defender’s  office in 1997, I lost my house to foreclosure and had to declare bankruptcy.)

Ellen Kushner’s National Public Radio’s show “Sound and Spirit is on now.

It’s theme is marriage.

“Marriage is full integration into human society, the wedding results in a social unit. The union is recognized.

 My margin note to above dated 6/19/2006:   (Regarding my relationship with Jim:)   “ Our wedding is imagined. As if it happened and is vaguely forgotten."

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

Andrew looks at Kevin after the game against the Trojans.

"How does it feel?" He asks Kevin.

"Losing is not pleasant for anyone," says Kevin.

"Sorry," Andrew says without meaning it at all. "I wanted to say, how does it feel to know that Monsieur Misérable and Mr. Golden Smile are fucking together and have agreed to beat you up?"

Kevin turns to him with a growing bad mood.

"They're not having sex."

"D'Artagnan hit you too hard with the racket. You don't know what you're saying."

"They're not having sex, Andrew!"

"New bet then. I say that France conquers California before the end of the year... In two months if Monsieur Trauma takes care of his shit."

"...Jeremy has never told me he's gay."

Andrew remains silent. He turns his head towards Kevin very very slowly.

"300 dollars."

"We're not going to bet on this..."

"500 dollars."

"Why are you so happy to do this?"

"What do you mean, Kevin? I'm a very happy man."

It's impossible to tell if Andrew is joking with that unflappable expression.

And so the betting returns to the Foxes.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

me and my friends love to label our animals (either with genuine vibes-based assumptions, or as jokes) and I wonder how normal this practice is

"we wanna be— WE WANT TO BE CLOSE"

"we wanna be close"

"ok fine— that's fine— that's fine— that's fine."

No time to play. You are being sent away.

All according to plan😛

You get wrecked by a Heavy+Medic duo and see one of these taunts before you respawn. How do you react?

(aka: @cursed--alien and I were bullshitting about potential taunts that would kill homophobic gamer boys on sight and these shitty doodles are the result)
