My brain is full of tiny fish

I guess I’m just saying that if you’re a biologist studying an unpopular species and you have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder about it you can always count on me to be in your corner if you want to get a little petty with the public!

obsessed

The Magazine (aka the scariest dream I ever had). 

he would do it again because he is very neutral on the kiss itself (not into it, but not grossed out by it. it's just a kiss, innit) and because he doesn't want people to be so lonely and sad that they cry in the smoking area of the club.

he has thought about it long and hard and come to the conclusion he is both cis and het and not queer at all. he is, as it were, no longer even questioning.

my boyfriend is not queer

I told him that most cishet people a) do not self-examine their gender and sexuality to that extent and simply just. exist like that without ever thinking about it and b) do not watch (by his own estimation) 4+ hours of queer history/theory/media content on youtube per week and he is, in typical himbo fashion, absolutely baffled "but how do you know you're cis and straight if you don't learn about all the other options and think about it" people just exist in default mode without opening the character customisation screen my love "but do they not think all of it is really cool?" not particularly. mostly they do not think about it unless they know a queer person, honestly. and for sure most of them don't think about all of this and then be sad they aren't queer. like. they don't wish they were. "why wouldn't you though? queer people are all so cool and interesting! i'm just boring! literally all of you have something cool going on" this is very much a you thing and i think it's the Big Spicy Autisms but i do love that queer people are your special interest. you're like that marge simpson potato meme. 'I just think they're neat!' "but how do other people not find it fascinating and want to know about it? it's all of human history! it's an innate part of humanity! it's being a person!" hun idk what to tell you but they just don't. you've done far more thinking about this and definitely far more learning than like. 99% of cis straight white dudes would ever even dream of. "i'm really bad at telling if people are, though" yeah you just simply assume everyone is queer until proven otherwise which is very funny but also the opposite of what everyone else does "not everyone. only people who look vaguely cool"

I agree I just wanna say there's no such thing as a non-marginalized person. we are all oppressed through late stage capitalism

Everyone’s experience of this sort of thing is different. But for myself, I have found that since I emerged from the internet-based hibernation of my 20s and replaced a lot of my TV and video game consumption with live theatre and dance and city exploration and concerts and burlesque and parties, I am happier and more satisfied with existence than I have ever been in my life.
