having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

idk where ur getting the idea that i don't support non-electoral action. the truth of the matter is that political action always encompasses a range of investment. and just as most ppl aren't willing to face potential martyrdom themselves, the vast vast vast majority of ppl will also do nothing except vote.

and what 3rd party? it sucks but as long as we live in a 2-party first past the post system, there are no 3rd parties. r u recommending i start shilling for who? RFK? there's just no way to engage with a 3rd party that doesn't detract voting power away from whichever of the 2 real parties with a real chance of getting elected more aligns with ur politics.

so legitimately, who? what 3rd party of 0%Hitlers should i be supporting that won't act as a spoiler for the dems? and this is the attitude towards voting i dont understand. voting isn't a statement of morality, so whats the point in voting for the 0%Hitler party if they have no power, have no way of gaining power, and have no way of affecting change within the system that would allow for that reality to change. unless u Want the spoiler for some kinda accelerationist end, but i like harm reduction so that doesn't really work for me.

also u misinterpret me in an extremely liberal way. "the only way to defeat fascism"? i don't think fascism is a thing to be "defeated" like ur suggesting because a dem win doesn't end the fight. the dems themselves have significantly more fascist tendencies than id like to see, so the fight doesn't end there. in fact it never ends. even in whatever kinda fully automated luxury gay space communism glorious revolution blah blah whatever there's still always gonna be reactionary tendencies that have to be fought. it's a very liberal idea that fascism can be defeated. and im not a liberal in that regard

lastly, yeah it may seem silly at first glance but biden is 100% more pro-queer and pro-black and pro-labor than any other president in a century. who else is better on these issues? was it obama? bush? other bush? raegan perhaps? who? i don't even really wanna harp on this point too much cuz i don't think biden is an especially good guy for having these positions it's just kinda the natural long-arc progression of history and political thought. the only things that can really change that would be like republicans "sending the civil rights act back to the states". i think overturning roe was one of those setbacks, but even there we're continually seeing just how ruinous this topic is for republican electability BECAUSE of how far the overton window has shifted on the issue of abortion.

also, i don't see my position as doomerism, i see yours as that. i mean u literally said i should "just oppose electoralism and support [my] fellow leftists" but i reject the idea that leftism properly understood is anti-electoral. i think that notion basically cedes all political efficacy to the most liberal elements of the movement. the leftist fantasy of material conditions bad enough to lead to revolution is delusional. the nature of a state is to maintain a monopoly on violence and the US has the greatest military force the world has ever seen. revolution as it was carried out before (i.e. ussr, vietnam, etc.) is all but impossible in a fully modernized nation with such a robust civil society and the greatest monopoly on violence in human history

lastly, the "hole" im in is one that acknowledges that i don't have the kind of revolutionary spirit to really be anything other than a "keyboard activist" as they say. im not gonna be out there squaring up against nazis at protests or assassinating my political enemies. im too self-interested to martyr myself on the slim slim hope of my getting the shit beaten outta me causing some uproar of change and progress. i just wanna live my life with the people i love and care about in the greatest degree of relative peace we can. oh and im in that camp along with 99% of all people (including probably u) so i feel pretty comfortable situating my political philosophy within that framework. i don't think it's weak, it's just humans being humans and it's the reality we have to work within.

genuinely curious what Biden could do at this point that's "too far" for liberals other than getting a spraytan

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.

thinking about an estranged childhood friends to lovers story with gojo……

you’re a rowdy kid. during one of your adventures, you end up at the gojo estate; sneaking your way into a vast, beautiful garden, pretty pink roses as far as the eye can see. little gojo is crouched down, watching tiny sprouts grow, and you’re too captivated to look away. bright snowy hair, striking blue eyes, all dolled up in a fancy yukata. he turns to meet your gaze — and all you give him is a sheepish laugh, before strolling over to introduce yourself. he doesn’t seem to mind the company, so you keep coming over to play with him. you bring cool rocks, pretty cicadas you caught, a dusty gameboy. he listens to you speak. he watches the way you move, wave your hands when you’re excited. he grows so, so fond of you.

one day, you stop coming by to see him — and he doesn’t need confirmation to know that one of the maids must have chased you off.

twenty years later, you meet him again, in a crowded little café. he calls out for you by name and you have no idea who you’re looking at. a tall, handsome, cheery man… wearing a blindfold? and shooting you a charming grin. you have no idea who he is, but he remembers you. he remembers you a lot more than he should. he chides you for forgetting your very best friend, but there’s nothing but humour in his voice. you watch as he speaks, as he moves, as he taps his feet under the table after insisting you order something — his treat. you still don’t remember him.

but you’re captivated, all the same.

(from underneath his blindfold, gojo watches you smile. he thinks to himself that some things must truly never change; because he still feels that familiar swarm of butterflies, with every move you make.)
