one time i came out as a lesbian to someone and their immediate instinctive reaction was to ask me if i have a good relationship with my father. i guess they were expecting me to say no.

au contraire, i'm following in my father's crossdressing footsteps

I’m a teacher assistant for spanish grammar and the professor was explaining epícenos (single gendered words that encompass masculine and feminine beings) and he was using iguana as an example and he said: “there is only one gender… iguana” and i had to mute my microphone

“there is only one gender… iguana”

there is only one ethical form of rpf and that is the philosophical dialogue. if that twink's cringefail attempts to seduce that old man don't have an allegorical meaning pertaining to the essence and origin of love I don't want to hear it. no tolerance no mercy

Did some digital art on my phone last night. Been playing with tracing photos on my phone to get clearer references for my art pieces. Helps break down the shape so I can see without my eyes tricking me.

people on the subway train are alwaus looking at their phones well we should look to eachother and build a community that lives on trains and be like a siphonophore that uses the train as a shell . and float through the pelagic zone and share the seas nutrients such as small fish and crustaceans among our linked bodies

non-lip kisses are my absolute favorite. absentmindedly kissing the back of someone’s palm as you hold hands. chaste forehead kisses and brushes against their cheek. silly boops on the nose. kissing fluttering eyelashes. neck kisses that barely touch skin but are no less passionate. kisses on collar bones or exposed tummies. sloppy kisses at the corners of someone’s mouth. kissing each and every fingertip with a delicate touch.

My BIGGEST pet peeve when it comes to Tolkien is how people will sometimes characterize Melkor’s rebellion as being about him wanting to do his own thing and rebelling against Illuvatar’s oppressive sheet music.

THERE WAS NO SHEET MUSIC!  Illuvatar wasn’t forcing anything.  The Ainulindale was improv.  Illuvatar just gave them the theme, the idea, the feeling, the starting point.  The Ainur were drawing inspiration from the thought of Illuvatar, sure, and so long as they were in harmony the music played precisely as Illuvatar intended because Illuvatar had created them and knew how they worked together.  But the music of the Ainur before Melkor’s dissonance was quintessentially creative, as well as corroborative.  It was spontaneous, perfect harmony of free individuals perfectly in tune with each other, whose improvisations were constantly building upon each other.

Melkor’s rebellion was not about asserting his freedom of expression, because his expression was already free.  Instead it was explicitly about making his own voice louder and more important than anyone else’s, and subjugating the creativity of others to instead convince or force them to follow him exactly in repetitive unison.  And so, when Melkor’s goal became drown everyone else out, instead of make beautiful music together, his music became less creative, less innovative, and less his.

So it kind of annoys me when people talk about Melkor like he’s all for freedom of expression when he’s pretty much the opposite of that.

I love how the three kinds of notes to this post are:

For that matter - from this post and from one or two others I’ve seen concerning orchestras and choirs, I’m beginning to gather it’s a marvel we don’t hear about murders happening during practice sessions, which is certainly something I would not have expected to learn.

See this. I really want to know what is going on in orchestras…

(unfortunately the best band-themed addition to this post has also disappeared somehow…)
