“If I can make my language flat enough, exact enough, if I can rinse each sentence clean enough, like washing a stone over and over again in river water, if I can find the right perch or crevice from which to record everything, if I can give myself enough white space, maybe I could do it. I could tell you this story while walking out of this story.” — Maggie Nelson, from The Red Parts
“I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything…I want to tell you this story without having to be in it.” — Richard Siken, from The Torn-Up Road
“By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths. You make up others.” — Tim O'Brien from The Things They Carried
“In order to record a tale, something must always be lost. Some things must be left unsaid and disguised. The art of storytelling, his brother said, is all about where and how to leave the voids.” — Lindsey Drager, from The Archive of Alternate Endings
“C'mon Olympians it’s bedtime, time to go to your anti fuck beds!”
wtf is the “weight of one person”?
they’re acting like some of the athletes aren’t 95lbs and others 300lbs+
Yeah, you bring a good point. I know weighlifters and other fat athletes get treated like shit on the daily, but this is excessive
this is completely fake btw. these beds are intended to be recyclable and can hold up to 440lbs/200kg. there are no reputable outlets reporting on this “anti-sex” beds and the only ones that do are citing the tweet above. here’s another article disproving it like yes fat athletes get treated like shit and it’s important we talk about it but this whole anti sex bed thing is 100% untrue lol
I am in borderline tears that the anti fuck beds are fake. This was supposed to be the highlight of my July
So my friend @lydiabutz has a really cool comic that you should read, and that I am doing some animations for. I really want to support her right now, and give her the love that she deserves. I’ll be doing more animations of her characters in the future, so please give her work a look.
My friend is updating her comic soon, if you haven’t read it yet please do. The new issue coming out soon is my favourite of her works and I cannot recommend it enough!!! Please read.
Honestly, the only people who see you as queer are people who are too invested. You’re probably just really pretty and talk to another pretty person? But good for you on being hot!
Queer, but Dead
Well, technically, you’re canonically queer. But you are dead. Probably because the studio is full of cowards. Which kinda sucks. Unless you’re like undead? That’s really cool of you, man. Live your funky queer grim reaper dreams, baby. (Image credit:
Censored By Disney
Maybe you were meant to be queer? It’s unclear because Disney definitely did a great job of erasing any chance of that. They washed you clean and watered you down. You deserved so much better. I’m so sorry.
the dumbest fucking thought I had while half-asleep this morning:
villain: I shall now use this machine to pinpoint the location of every person you love so you can WATCH AS I FREEZE THEM WITH MY EVIL MEGA ICE RAY
hero: wait no-
machine: dings immediately, showing the location of the villain
villain: um
hero: *beet red* it’s not like– I don’t– *sighs* You’re just so passionate about your interests. And nobody talks to me, y'know? My family doesn’t approve of this whole hero business. I’d be so lonely if I didn’t have you. I mean, sure, we’re mortal enemies. But I’d be upset if something happened to you.
seriously i wish people understood that queerbaiting has almost nothing to do with the actual content of a story. two men can gaze soulfully into each other’s eyes for 45 minutes straight and then at the end be like “oh yes my good pal friend no homo” and its still not anything more than homoerotic and kind of stupid writing.
queerbaiting is a marketing technique to get gay people to buy a ticket. it’s hemming and hawing whenever someone asks about subtext, giving long answers that don’t mean anything to sort of imply “maybe you just need to wait and find out. ;)” it’s interviews where the actors talk about how much they love that particular relationship, and they think they will ~surprise~ you with how it turns out. it’s every single trailer showing these two people almost kissing, even as the creators talk about how offended they are that anyone would think it’s gay. it’s disney’s 65th First Gay Character that they sort of imply might
actually be a main character this time but is yet another nameless
asshole. it’s evil, because it’s completely deliberately misrepresenting the actual media just to make a buck.
