crying over everything everywhere all the time; currently crying over: Conchita Wurst, Eurovision, Pia Douwes, Pia Douwes' high notes, not being a German speaker, seeing Idina in concert

I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn’t know.

Congratulations on the sex.

It’s like millennials do not understand that middle east has been at war for 1000′s of years. That we intervened on behalf of Kuwait. That without “bombing” people that want to kill and oppress others, millions will be murdered and tortured.

“at war for 1000′s of years”

you clearly know nothing about Afghanistan nor the middle east

here’s Afghanistan in the 1950′s, 60′s, & 70′s

It’s interesting to note that when the communist government came to power in Afghanistan in the late 70′s, one of the first things they did was declare equality of the sexes, made education for girls mandatory, & banned child marriages. The conservative tribal leaders who the US armed & funded (& who later became the Taliban) declared this to be a “war on Islam” & fought against the central government.

The US had no problem back then with encouraging the growth of Islamic conservatism to counter socialism/communism. You created your biggest enemy & you have no one to blame but yourselves.

BLESS THIS POST

its crazy to me how the US talks about war in the middle east as if its this ancient problem inherent to the area instead of a recent problem created by western countries to further their own interests.

the CIA took out the democratically elected leader of Iran in the 1970s over oil and that set off an entire chain of events leading to ISIS, here’s more about multiple other countries we’ve fucked over 

reasons I love the fun home soundtrack

- “dear mom and dad. I’m trying to tell you something and having a hard time because it’s kinda a big deal. it’s not such a big deal. it might be a big deal. I don’t know!!!” - because that is exactly how it feels like to even think about coming out. also Emily Skeggs puts so much emotion and desperation into that one line.

- the line from telephone wire “there must be some other moment where you tell me you see me!” that sums up the entire show in one line basically

- all the dialogue pieces. all of them.

- RING OF KEYS!!!!!

- in maps “on its way from the Castro” (a gay neighborhood in San Francisco) “to Christopher street” (where the stonewall riots happened in nyc) like WHY DIDNT YOU JUST LEAVE??!

- how intellectually complex the lyrics are and how the songs don’t approach problems head on but dance around them and achieve the same message.

- the dinging noise in “a flair for the dramatic” because that is exactly what that feeling of panicky anger and disbelief sounds like

- you can hear the sounds of nyc all though “clueless in New York”

- the juxtaposition of the end of party dress when small Alison denies her identity to fit with her fathers idea of society and medium Alisons coming out letter and acceptance of that identity

- Beth Malone. just being perfect.

- how “changing my major” talks about the physical aspect of the relationship normally and without making it lewd but focuses more on the happiness of finding a relationship in which you feel “complete”
