In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

Alphabet City Serenade (by: Diane Burns)

Once they built the railroad

the buffalo split

past the horizon line

once they built the railroad

now it’s done.

Brother, can you front me a dime?

I’m down and out in Loisaida

I’m out of smoke in Loisaida

I’m out of tea in Loisaida

I’m out of luck

I’m out of mind

all at the same time

in Loisaida

Oh East Village ai yi yi yi yi yi yi.

I’m American royalty

walking around with a hole in my knee

I’m a hopeful aborigine

trying to find a place to be

Oh East Village ai yi yi yi yi yi yi.

Back home now I’d be at the pow-wow

I’d be drinking herb tea and eating deer meat.

Maybe smooching in a blanket with a Potawatamie.

But here I am on Avenue D

Sacrifice of Manifest Destiny

Oh East Village ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi.

I’m not your steppin’ stone.

Hey man, can you spare a cigarette?

Do you know of a place to sublet?

Do you know where I can cash this check?

Do you know, do you know that

I hate Chevrolet

I hate Doris Day

I hate Norman Bates

And I’m at war with the United States

Oh East Village ai yi yi yi yi yi yi.

East Village ai yi yi yi yi yi yi.

Oh, so you want to talk about gentrification, huh?

class of 2013 // mitski (ig: jayetart)

[isacgarcia]

Mitski is exhausted by people reducing her to “sad girl music” and the white fans in the comments are like, “Mitski said no more depression,” which misses the point quite comically.

Me watching ppl on social media talk about how they grind by working 10 hour shifts, taking several courses at once and buying stock shares to purchase bentleys, designer prada and apartments in shitholes like ohio and ontario meanwhile I’m rotting, unemployed and relaxed watching softcore lesbian porn movies and eating junk food

Resenting the male gaze but also being obsessed with how you’re perceived by others
