technology related sensory memories from my childhood
- sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
- the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
- ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
- rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
A month ago, when 49 people were slaughtered in a gay club, we were told the blame lay at our feet, because if only everyone were allowed to carry a gun, we’d be safe.
Today, after a black man was held down, shot at close range and murdered, and we’re told he would have been safe if only he hadn’t been armed.
Which is it?

hONESTLY whenever some dudebro asks me “how do u kno when lesbian sex is over?” i’m gonna start giving them just off the wall replies like
“when you run out of garlic”
“after the flood but before the rainbow”
“when there aren’t any more clean socks”
“before the rooster crows”
“it isn’t. i am still currently having sex with every woman i’ve ever had sex with. when women have sex with each other, we join a collective conscious. bonded by continuous, constant sex. our physical forms may part ways, but our minds and souls are still engaged in an unending orgy.”
