soul-wise, these are trying times

You can call me Docket! I’m 26 and queer and my pronouns are he/him/his.

I am a black lesbian filmmaker, who’s just beginning; but, I’m going to say a lot more and have a lot more work to do. 

The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye

Instead of trying to scientifically determine whether being trans is innate, something observable in the brain, and other shit like that, research into our unique experiences should really focus on the remarkable thermodynamic properties we exhibit by simultaneously being both cooler and hotter than everyone else

  • None of them are gonna be physically violent
  • The Reddit users are going to judge you if you express any religious or “unscientific” sentiment
  • The Catholics run the gamut from “hardcore pro-lifer” to “Nun who invented communism”
  • The Protestants have brought lots of food but are going to proselytize the entire time you eat
  • The crystalists are split 60/40 on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and you don’t know who has the majority until you’ve been there an hour
  • The Anglophiles have good pastries, but 1/3 of them are in Sherlock cosplay
  • The girlbosses are all within 10° to the left of the center of the political spectrum and will try very hard to get you to invest in their MLM
  • The vegans brought food but will turn hostile if you let slip that you’ve used animal products in the last year
  • The reenactors have booze, but your phone is dead and they’re giving a very pro-America history lecture
  • The influencers have a pool, a jacuzzi, and lots of drugs, but they have a combined net worth that teaches seven digits and won’t let you forget it
  • The retirees have great weed but they’re gonna ask you a lot of invasive questions and give you a lot of unsolicited advice.

TOLKIEN WEEK 2022 (2/2) | day 4: favorite relationship ↳ frodo baggins and samwise gamgee

Then as quickly as he could he cut away the binding cords and laid his head upon Frodo’s breast and to his mouth, but no stir of life could he find, nor feel the faintest flutter of the heart. Often he chafed his master’s hands and feet, and touched his brow, but all were cold. ‘Frodo, Mr. Frodo!’ he called. ‘Don’t leave me here alone! It’s your Sam calling. Don’t go where I can’t follow! Wake up, Mr. Frodo! O wake up, Frodo, me dear, me dear. Wake up!’

Thinking about some of the responses to that gatheringbones post from a few days ago where people in the notes are all “uwu how dare queer people be allowed to imagine fantasy worlds without oppression”, completely missing that lack of imagination is kind of the whole point. Why is your utopian queer-friendly fantasy society just Christian feudalism with the serial numbers polished off? Why is empire and the divine right of kings so appealing and romantic when you include yourself in the mythology? The reason people are sickened by it isn’t because they hate queer people enjoying fantasy escapism, lmao—it’s the idea that rainbow-washed Benevolent Unproblematic Monarchy Where We Don’t Have To Think About The Spoils Of Empire is a fantasy worth escaping to is extremely disturbing.

Also, frankly, if your oh-so-essential “escapism” is to the world where tomatoes are indigenous to Fantasy Europe… what is it you’re allegedly escaping from?
