#now if it were a corvid on the scooter I could just about imagine that they'd learned how to hold down the power button(?)#but ultimately the balance issue is insurmountable#if the scooter was already going fast enough to keep itself upright#there's a chance the bird could land on it and ride for a moment#but how's it going to get the scooter up off the ground?

It's wrong to think of a construct as half bot, half human. It makes it sounds like the halves are discrete (...) As opposed to the reality, which was that I was one whole confused entity, with no idea what I wanted to do. What I should do. What I needed to do.

you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.)
he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like.
he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

Functionally, there's very little difference between watching a movie on poob and watching a movie on basic cable. Yet, for some reason, the advertisements on poob offend me far more

i am as white as a white american can get and the thought of using the white color emojis sickens me to the bone. bitch if you dont make me simpsons yellow
#like it's problematic that whatever the cartoony color is will be assumed to represent whiteness by default#obviously and absolutely#but in my cultural context making an explicit choice to emphasize one's whiteness sends a BAD message#so I'd rather stick with the issues status quo racist assumption of whiteness#than signal intentional explicit and (in my context) inherently malevolent insistence on whiteness#I have very occasionally been in progressive enough circles where the right move is for no one to use “default” skin tone#but those were very special circumstances and everyone was on the same page about what selecting skin color meant
