hey how have you been doing lately?!
doing good thanks for asking! helping to teach a class about latin american revolutions, spending a lot of time with friends and playing magic the gathering and dnd a LOT lately.... dating again and met someone i like!! so honestly i really can't complain much
so absolutely thrilled about lula winning in brazil!! i am a brazilian who is as far removed from brazil as one can get but one day i want that to change and i want to spend more time there and the idea of the destruction undertaken by bolsonaro was just heartbreaking. i just read an excellent book about lula by john french (at duke!!) and the steel workers/autoworkers unions in são paulo and it just got me even more excited about this win.

I also want to just drive drive drive and take pics but why gas gotta be so expensive 😫🥲 how far do you typically drive on one photography excursion?
sometimes i drive hours!! the farthest i've gone is to virginia to see a ghost town up there. honestly i feel very fortunate because gas is relatively cheap in north carolina so it feels conducive to just driving around all the time
happy halloweekend! i ended up being nicol bolas at a party yesterday... i found demon horns that looked just like his and it inspired me. luckily i was in a crowd that knew what magic the gathering was but it feels like the nerdiest thing i’ve done in a long time

What if I don't want to leave Texas? The only option for LGBT+ southerners should not be, "Just move somewhere else."
I don't have any attachment to "somewhere else". I don't have a community "somewhere else". I have to start from scratch "somewhere else", and that should not be my only option. That should not be the option people in big, northern, liberal cities give me whenever I talk about the political climate in the south.
I want to make the south safe for me and mine, not abandon it entirely. This is my home. These are my roots. We should be focused on making these places better, not writing them off as a lost cause.

Do you have any running tips ?
i'm not the best runner in the world but my tip would be to stretch everything and don't overlook your hips and sciatic nerve because holy i never stretched my sciatic area before i got injured and it kept me away from running for months. be thorough when you stretch!!!!!!!!!!
Copulation in the night Two shadows upon a grave Screams of pleasure and screams of pain Young lovers, you must be insane It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair So I say again: Stay away, it’s desecration of souls

sometimes i just want to get in the car and drive 3000 miles to the other side of the country, and only stop to take photos of the small towns i pass through along the way
me too! that sounds exactly like me. any time i drive anywhere interesting i always take my camera with me and pull off on the side of the road multiple times. it is very healing
why am i the way that i am? because before i was conceived my dad went to chernobyl without any protective equipment

How does one have the courage to keep dating? I’m fed up. I give up on dating. I pick unavailable men and I’m too sensitive. I trust people too easily as well. Blah blah I’m in therapy and it’s helping but I guess this is just not my time to date. But I’m goddamn lonely!!!
i find half the time i don't even try to date, people just careen into my life and disrupt it haha but if you find yourself repeating the same patterns and getting frustrated - have you looked into your attachment style? honestly i'm beginning some attachment style work right now and it is a real eye opener. it can really help you figure out why you make the decisions that you do and how to question "gut feelings" that can actually be toxic impulses that pull you away from healthy partners and toward unhealthy ones. also changing your mindset and attitude and taking a small break can really heal burnout. i find when i finish with someone i am emotionally exhausted and need to recuperate. this is all easier said than done but working with the right therapist and finding the right resources can really help with this
went on a super long rurex drive yesterday and on my way to a few abandoned motels i went looking for this harrison mayes sign - one of the two harrison mayes signs in central north carolina, the rest are in the appalachian part of the state. these signs are so surreal, they are made of stark concrete and they’re large and they’re tucked a little ways off the road in the woods, so when you walk up to them they look like a bizarre mirage.
