this is from a couple nights ago and was j sitting in my drafts. figured i might as well post it. tw for mentions of the colorado shooting
#idk i cam on here to make a post about last night#where i met with one of my dads' friend from work to get some advice for [redacted]#we were in the city so we went to his place#and spoke to him and he introduced his husband to us and his dog was adorable#and the guy himself was wonderful and rlly helpful#and it had just been a good day overall#but over and above anything else#i was weirdly struck by how few real actual irl times i've seen like.#a functioning happy queer family?#like not in media but in real life#like they're just. regular guys. doing regular jobs. they have a dog.#they have a funky home with cool art and those dumb sv fizzy water tech bro drinks and snowflake projectors#my dad is ex colleagues / friends with one of them?? (like. technically i knew this but also. seeing it in real life was. hm)#idk it was a lot in a good way and in some way it gave me hope i didn't think i needed#like i consume LOADS of queer media#a decent chunk of which is pretty happy and positive!#and yet. it's not real#and also. i think we#or at least i#am so used to depressing queer stories that unless they're super horrific#or at least billed as that#the tragedy in them just doesn't register as concerning or sad?#and even if they have a happy endind#all the despair that leads up to it is just soo normal that i don't question it and it took seeing the opposite irl for me to even realize#that#anyways. i woke up this morning and turned on the news and was met by the news of the shooting n colorado#and i physically couldn't take it like. had to walk away leave the table sit in my room#and maybe it wa somehting with the contrast to my previous night#because i'm usually not that...emotional? about tragedies in general?#like i can acknowledge the horror and mourn but usually i'm not so hit by it personally
