As a straight able-bodied emotionally stable cis white person, you take for granted that there will always be someone out there to date. Try being me: a queer, genderfluid male-bodied depressed neuroatypical Asian American. And having a physical disability? I cannot empathize, but I can imagine it would be extremely difficult. Given, I am outwardly cisgender, and I...

Ginsberg
eating-poetry:
No blame. Anyone who wrote Howl and Kaddish earned the right to make any possible mistake for the rest of his life. I just wish I hadn’t made this mistake with him. It was during the Vietnam war and he was giving a great protest reading in Washington Square Park and nobody wanted to leave. So Ginsberg got the idea, “I’m going to shout ‘the war is over’ as loud as I can,” he said...

I slept more than 12 hours yesterday again but today I worked out and now I feel like a wizard and the master of the universe and stuff!
CONCLUSION 1: my pills that are supposed to make me not feel awesome are just making me sedated while awesome. Also, I am questioning why I am taking a medication in order to not feel awesome.
CONCLUSION 2: I need to stop being so hard on myself because I am...

If there’s anything better in life than eating way too much tofu quiche and spanakopita, I don’t want to know about it.

Two things about veganism really annoy me: omnivores who feel the need to preemptively defend their diets from vegans, and vegans who think nobody has a good reason to be an omnivore.
Also, that person who compared beekeeping to the Atlantic slave trade. That’s less annoyance and more hate.

placeboism:
David Bowie. A talented and extremely influential musician, gorgeous person and everything, insert very positive stuff about David Bowie. Still, when you say “The man who sold the world” I hear it in Kurt Cobain’s voice, and when you say “Five years”, I hear Brian Molko. Well, at least I have the decency to be ashamed of it.
Never be ashamed of loving a good acoustic cover....

A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

astronautalis:
a few months ago, the fine folks at Paste Magazine asked me and the boys to stop by in the morning to play a concert for them and the sleepy eyed staff. We might have been a tad hung over and road weary, but that is no reason no to yell and sweat at 11am…then we went and ate waffle house next door. a perfect morning in Atlanta. Check out the video and reblog this like mad!...

Adventures in mood swings
Disclaimer: This post is mostly metaphorical. Just in case you had any doubt.
There’s a person I am whom I call the shark — a man who’d die before he stopped moving. He writes the papers, pays the bills, gets me to the gym, and sends me running across the globe in search of thrills. But he also can’t feel self-satisfied without a few sedatives or a tall glass of bourbon,...

Getting tired of Sherlock fans covering my campus with annoying, inscrutable-to-non-fans chalkings. I really hope the “SH+JW” graffiti on the campus center is just some moony couple with coincidental initials.

Yeah, this is a huuuuuuge reason why I avoid Sherlock fandom.
We should make our own little Sherlock fandom of cool people and we can all get together to watch Sherlock and freak out and rant together about how abusive Sherlock is.
so down for this.
my favorite part about Sherlock BBC series is hating Sherlock TBH.
I feel we need a word for our...

One of my fave bands is coming to town and I’m stressed about it. Shit, what if the lead singer sees me and notices I’m fat?!?
Goddamnit Jay, you’re here to see a show, not be eye candy for some hipster with a mic. Your life would be a lot happier if you stopped comparing your body fat levels to drug addicts’.

Basically, I’m recovering from codependency.
It feels really good that I haven’t been involved with any dangerous people lately, but on the other hand, I still haven’t been able to find anything that compares to the spark I got from horribly unhealthy relationships.
Here’s hoping that I can learn to take pleasure in relationships that aren’t destined to implode...

This picture is by a woman called Hannah. She was just disowned by her family for coming out as trans and is currently living with a friend, Alex. Here’s her explaining her situation:
Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a 20 year-old transwoman in the baby stages of transition. I’ve recently been kicked out of my home, leaving my school and my old job behind - technically making me a drop-out, unemployed and...

I hate academia for redefining ”queer” to mean anything vaguely fresh ‘n’ sexy and redefining ”cyborg” to mean something other than roboticized superhuman.

"Is asexuality queer?" is on my dash again.
Why such a fight over this word? “GSM” (gender & sexuality minority) is a group that fits aces perfectly, doesn’t have the additional gender connotations of queer, and isn’t a reclaimed slur. It’s not like it’s be-queer-or-be-lost.
But nope, everybody is fighting for the word “queer.” Why do aces want this fight? To access GLBT resources that...

velocidarling:
I think it’s a different conversation when I’m talking to a queer person as opposed to someone on the ace spectrum who has decided they are queer BECAUSE right now we’re discussing things in-community.
I think queer is complicated even strictly within the queer community. Who has had queer thrown at them? Not every queer person. Many queers, due to age or...

Tonight’s goal: wrangle some people into going to a hardcore show with me ‘cause I’ve never been to a punk house before and I want to pop that cherry.
I’m gonna get sent flying and bleed all over the pit again, won’t I? Hope the people moshing are skinny.
