“It drives me crazy that my usually feminine presentation leads to people questioning if I am sufficiently queer… I identify so strongly as radically, deeply queer, and it hurts so much when I feel rejected by my community for not being dykey enough.”

Things that I wish:
1. That Christine was on gchat to entertain me today (this is selfish; good luck today, Christine!)
2. That I could finally make sense out of the way you make/made me feel. And put it behind me.
3. That I never knew you.
4. That I could get a more fulfilling job. Must keep searchin’!
5. That my couch would move itself.
6. That I could fall asleep with you tonight.
Listen
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it
When nothing is old, deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream
One day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage a broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid, with a head full of doubt
So I scream till I die and don’t ask for those bad thoughts to find me out
There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it
Is it August yet?
I HATE that I feel like I’m always wishing my life away. This month has been brutal though, and I’m so ready for it to be over. I haven’t felt this stressed out since January; it’s taking a huge tole on my body and my health. I’m trying to be present and to slow down for the good things, and to realize that the bad things will pass and that I’m sure, as always, I’ll learn something big from it all.
But really, I can’t wait for fall! <3

- We're in the garden and Capucine is playing "indians & cowboys"
- Capucine, running : Watch out !! A Zombie !!
- Me : Do you know what zombies are ?
- Capucine : Yeah, they're like mammoths, but bigger.
- Me : Wha...?!! Hahaha !
- Capucine : What ?
- Me : I think you meant "Bison". (buffalo)
- Capucine : That's right ! Bison !
Listen
This is a story and you are not in it, uh uh
Fought the pages torn out
Here is a bedroom that you’ve never been in
Here is your shovel
There’s the ground
Look two lovers covered in covers, uh uh
I can put us to bed tonight
I am bruised but she is dressing the wounds
Night nursing a broken man
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you, oh oh

Unfortunately, even Americans accept the concept of “the opposite sex,” which is a terrible misnomer (I think “the other sex” works just fine). Too many people relate to each other as “men” or “women” rather than as George or Maria. When George doesn’t ask for directions when lost it isn’t because he’s a man, it’s because he’s a proud jerk. When Maria gossips too much it isn’t because she’s a woman, it’s because she has low-self esteem, or feels unable to express hostility.
If men and women thought of their sexual partners as persons more than as male or female, there’d be less questions about what men or women want in bed, and more questions about what Jose or Jing want. And that would lead to better sex for everyone.
