Okay, can I just talk about this comic series for a second? This has got to be the most hilarious comic series I have ever seen. This is AJ & Magnus, a Calvin and Hobbes inspired comic series about an adopted kid, his talking dog, and his 2 gay parents. The humor is really good, very quick and to the point. This series is beautiful, please, give them your love!

He doesn’t even know, and he doesn’t want to.

thinkin about my (openly gay) lit professor today saying, “one of my favorite historical anecdotes is the time that Oscar Wilde was in America, at the same time that Walt Whitman was active and writing poems about sticking his tongue down other men’s shirts, and Wilde went to Whitman’s house exactly one time and spent several hours there, and ever since all these historians have been like ‘what could they have been doing???? it’s such a shame we’ll never know...’ and I just.... we know. the only question now is who was the top.”

just overheard a little girl ask her father if I am a boy or a girl and all he said was “some people have bodies”

My fave part of Naruto is when Lee shows up with his bowl haircut and kicks Sasuke’s ass dirty in front of his only two friends and then kicks Gaara’s ass Infront of a whole stadium and his family.

so easy; to make fun of the internet poets and the webcomic artists and the fanfiction authors

i hear a man snorting into his beer about it on a tuesday night. i am waiting to pick up my boss’s dinner. i am waiting to go home to my own empty fridge. “that’s not real,” he says. “anybody can do that shit.”

once, i saw a description of modern art as “i could do that + yeah but you didn’t.”

so easy to sneer at self-published. at etsy store. at youtube singer. so often i see posts: “it’s not poetry because you hit enter”. “graffiti is vandalism, though.” “i don’t think that’s real music.”

i understand, you know. the desire to make it seem small. how easy to package art and never open it. to blame ribs or galaxies or whatever other internet trend. it is safer to live under the rock than to burn in the sun above it. i picture a life of poems they never copied out of their journals.

i understand. i laugh at my own work, but i will not cringe. it is worth it to love something so much - to love writing. it is worth it, you know. to be crushed, time and time again. it is worth it for exactly one moment:

i get a note from a young kid. “thank you for this. it helped me keep going.”

okay, then. this is why. this is purpose.
