really humiliating trying to write horror like they went into the creepy house and there was a creepy ghost and the creepy guy with a creepy knife and everything was very creepy are you scared yet and thats like literally not how suspense and tension actually work but like all u can do is say well maybe something else was creepy?

trying to get through a real dense but good history of lgbt life in sf pre-1965 and contemplating… like… the ways that gay life is entangled with vice are commonly flattened. like it is easy to think of it in purely liberatory bohemian “hell has all the best parties” terms but if your culture is reliant for its financial existence on a market for Sin, what that means is that organized crime and vices that give onto real evils will have market share in your liberatory space! Like it is both true that there’s no disentangling sex work from lesbianism in this time and place (statement of solidarity) and there’s no disentangling sex work from lesbianism in this time and place (some lesbians worked as pimps for their girlfriends to make the money to open their bars. I do not think this relationship was always awesome for their girlfriends!). It is both true that gay culture flourished during the lawlessness of prohibition (once you break down one arbitrary social boundary others start looking more flexible) and true that gay culture flourished in the lawlessness of prohibition (gay bars were key players in protection rackets and HEAVILY incentivized to fight any anticorruption measures in local politics, which they did). it’s the same as the fantasies about the golden age of piracy, right? on board this ship outside the strangling reach of the colonial powers of europe, egalitarianism prevailed! also total lack of protection against every evil including death, also frequently amoral participation in colonial violence

gyring and gimbling in the widening wabe

turning and slouching towards the slithy toves

and the rough beast did outgrabe

flaccid penis... it's chic, it's hip, it's the next big thing

it's the next thing

i think everyone in the whole world forgot that mystery doesn’t have to equal crime

sometimes it’s just like. what happent ?

people debate about whether wojaks carry fascism within them inherently or not, and yknow, maybe there's something to be said about how symbols work etc, and then you see a communist make a meme that features the one that's drooling with a dent in his head to represent someone who is incorrect, and you just kind of take a pause and ask yourself what the fuck is wrong with everybody

thou? art not the knave. thou'rt not capable of BEING the knave. i hadst a knave, but now have none. thou. art not. the knave.

wench wrench, wretched wench, i madst thou my wench (JESSIE!)

so much to chew on w how joint suffering Makes People after they get out of it. this is especially juicy to me if your characters were introduced to each other as a direct result of the horrors. you learned everything about me at my worst and against my will so how do i get better again if you’re watching. there’s no one else in the world who understands a fraction of what you know of me. i see your wounds beneath your shirt. you know how i scream. your face is in all of my nightmares. if anyone tried to take you from me i would be undone. no notes !
