Happy last day of Sheba

More queer media that doesn't focus on being bullied and harrassed. More queer media that doesn't centre around cis gay men. More queer media that features aros and aces. More queer media that isn't about suffering. More queer media that has genderqueer people. More queer media with characters who use multiple sets of pronouns. More queer media that has supportive parents (especially fathers). More queer media that isn't about wanting to be 'normal'. More queer media that represents all the facets of drag. More queer media that represents the whole queer community

Carly Rae Jepsen just truly blows all of the other pop girlies so out of the water with her ability to truly achieve campy pop instead of just making bad music and having it be called camp. Like ‘So Nice’ is one of the most saccharine songs I’ve ever heard in my life, but she sells me on it so flawlessly. Like THIS is camp, THIS is pop. It’s commitment to the emotion that you can only do if you are fearless. I feel like so many other pop stars today are too brand-aware and self-conscious to actually swing that hard at cheesy, but it is the full power that Carly puts behind it that makes it so endearing.

Songs like ‘Let’s Be Friends’ and ‘Beach House’ are perfect campy songs because she never undercuts it to save face, and because she’s inviting us to laugh with her and not at the song. Actually I think that’s the thing everyone gets wrong about camp: it’s the equivalent of laughing with, and people confuse it with laughing at. With Carly, she’s always in on the joke and laughing while she tells it.

I'm really tired of the assumption that I must be unaware of how 'queer' can be used against us, of how it can be poised as a weapon, hissed like a slur. Every time I defend my identity as a proud queer man, people come crawling out of the woodwork to "helpfully" inform me of the word's history, of how it can be used against people, how it strikes fear in those who have had it hurled against them as an insult.

I am visibly queer. I have heard it all. Faggot, dyke, tranny, queer. More obscure names, clever insults, and sometimes not even slurs, just a deadly, threatening tone. But when I say that I'm queer, there's this assumption by some that I reclaim it out of ignorance. Like I have collected the word from the dictionary like a nice trinket, its history blissfully unknown to me, without any regard for its context.

I am tired of people not comprehending that most of us reclaim it knowingly. That we did not stumble upon it, but instead had it thrown at us. I am tired of people thinking they can belittle and talk down to me and coax me out of taking back the word that has always described me, that belongs to our community, by convincing me I don't know how it can be used against us.

Yes, I understand the meaning of queer, and how it can be used. I am fully aware of what it suggests, and I take that label with pride.

Reminder: Dia de los Muertos is not Halloween and it is not Samhain. It is separate. It has its own proscribed traditions and cultural importance. If you have a chance to celebrate with your local Mexican community cool! But it is not a neo-pagan or "witchy" accessory to use in Samhain rituals or pagan festivals, or whatever.

I would kiss those tender lips until the very secrets of my soul were laid onto her mouth.

i want to be so kind it echoes backwards in time and undoes the things that hurt you. i want to be so kind it radiates from me. i want to be so kind that i make someone else find faith in humanity again. there’s not much i can do, i’m small and weak and i only know so many words. but i know i can be kind. and sometimes, i believe, that changes the world.
