A poem I wrote for my wife

Say what you will about my wife

Was it my fault she went this way in life?

Was my queerness too much for a boy to bear

So she had no choice but to grow her hair?

Or did I accept them as they were then

Encouraging choice for my best friend?

Letting her be who she wanted to be

By showing her who I was, fully me?

Did that stir a change, a rapid onset

To grow her hair as well as breast

That let her turn into a gorgeous butterfly,

Given half a chance to grow and thrive?

Did I turn her into something I liked

Or was she always the one for whom I'd give my life?

Whether called he, she, they, or anything else

I'd never have her as less than her true self.

Did I know, back then, who she would be?

No, but there's no other face I'd rather wake to see.

So you took me, so I take you

To be my wedded partner, too.

Guys, but what if Red Hood's helmet was never about protecting his identity or hiding his baby face. What if it was just about protecting him from potential head trauma.

Think about it, when Talia found him he was catatonic and suffering from severe brain damage. Brain damage that she tried every natural means to heal before ultimately resorting to the pit. Ain't no way she was about to let the baby bird she literally nursed back to health go out into the world and ruin all of her hard work.

His mommy literally sent him off to become a crime lord and traumatize his father with a fucking safety helmet.

The anonymity of it was purely coincidental, but I'd bet my left tit that she emphasized that aspect of it to get him to use it without complaining about her perfectly reasonable overprotective tendencies.

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez decided to give me massive diaspora feelings. Just the fact that Keema is so so afraid to die, as young men are wont to do, and that the narrator who lives a "a strange life" and ordinary life who is "sometimes" proud to be of their ethnicity. And that that is who is returns the spear into the narrative, and that is what solidifies Keema's determination to save the 'Old Country' despite explicitly stating his creating the mythos of the Daware and joining the quest for personal glory. And then the narrator in turn 'saving' Jun and Keema in the moonlight theater and how that mirrors oral traditions preserve culture.

Being nonbinary really is like oscillating on a daily basis between “I’m nonbinary” and “I’m not nonbinary, just a cis person who happens to have a slightly different view of gender from my peers, who likes going by multiple pronoun sets, and who actively avoids being perceived as my assigned gender online.”

honestly I know I go on about this but being a suppressed language speaker makes you so protective over any other minority languages that have historically been discriminated against, no matter how far-flung you just feel a connection. i'm lucky to live in a culture that is extremely proud of and protective over its language that fortunately is now thriving, but the reality is not all communities have had the same opportunities and ability to preserve their languages as we've had. it's so important. every speaker counts. a language isn't only worthy of being studied and spoken if its "useful" on a global scale

one of the things that always made me smile a little while reading project hail mary was whenever ryland would say something about mixing units between metric and customary due to being an american scientist. because quite frankly in my experience of also being american trained in science. i'm far more comfortable working in feet and inches and miles and pounds (which i resent) than their metric equivalents but theres also so much knowledge where i Only know the metric equivalents and can't imagine it otherwise LOL. what a strange little space it occupies in your brain. what if i had to deal with blood lead levels by....idk, ounce per fluid ounce instead of μg/dL? nightmare country

Ok stupid question but I had to ask BC I love the way you answer things haha 💓💓 (Sorry if that was worded weirdly)

So Jonesy (I think that's the dog's name in House of Wax) from all the Sinclair brothers who do you Jonesy likes the most and who do you think likes Jonesy the best?

it's not weird at all!! now that my HOW brainworms are back, any excuse to ramble incoherently about this dumbass movie and the characters is like. PURE gold. lmao 💀

okay, so imo, vinny is definitely the favorite. the first place where we see jonesy in the movie is in the wax museum and that is def not a coincidence!! they were hanging out!! jonesy just got bored of watching her dad labor over the fine details of the wax titty & wandered upstairs.

they're best friends!! I just know it!! that shot where vincent's turning wade to wax? and jonesy jumps up on the bed? the CUTEST. rip wade 🙏 but?? I adore that sm.

and he takes the puppy w/him when he goes to murder blake & paige. unhinged dog dad behavior if I've ever seen it. I can 100% see them both quietly coexisting in the same space together for hours on end—vincent sculpting and sketching, jonesy napping next to him. padding upstairs in the middle of the night to have a midnight snack. UGH

I v much also subscribe to the line of thinking that lester doesn't live in corpsetown & has a lil shack of his own in the woods. but he absolutely hustles up to the house routinely to bring jonesy weird roadkill snacks and play w/her in the backyard. if anyone in the family is committed to getting her energy out, it's v much him. they're just outside for hours n hours tossing a mangled deer leg around and kicking up dirt. I feel.

as for bo. well. he v much strikes me as the kind of guy who pretends to be fairly ambivalent about the fact they have a dog running around. if jonesy ever stirs up trouble or chews thru smthn, he's the first one to be like, "UH??? it's your fuckin' dog?? I ain't never ask for this??"

v much onery dad energy. he catches vincent giving jonesy some food off his plate and immediately starts talking about how he's spoiling the damn dog and THIS is why she knocked over the garbage can & got coffee grounds and eggshells all over the kitchen floor.

never mind that he's always giving her scraps of whatever random concoction he's eating. she's chowing down on eggo waffles and beef jerky and hostess snacks whenever he's around. but no, it's vincent who spoils her. sure, jan.

he wants a huntin and fishin dog, but he's not much of a hunter or a fisher. so he gets a couch potato that sits next to him while he drinks beer and rewatches old spaghetti westerns. and he totally doesn't care about it or like her. totally.
