There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate—the genetic and neural fate—of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death. I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude.
~Oliver Sacks

"Some assholes from my school stole my hat and are planning on selling it, so I wore my dad's beanie. If I don't get my hat back soon, I'm going to kill them. I know the boys who did it, and conveniently, one of them is my neighbor."

Life
The cow from the poem. The twoheaded calf by Laura Gilpin. They let her live. She made it to 26 days.
Book
I'm not done yet but i read most of "We both Laughed in Pleasure" Diaries by Lou Sullivan this month. He was the first openly gay trans man/first transitioning gay trans man in the 70s/80s. I'm annotating this book like its a classic even though its mostly smut. Weird to see how little of the psychology aspect has changed. They really learned nothing. He died of AIDS related complications at 39. "I took a certain pleasure in informing the gender clinic that even though their program told me I could not live as a Gay man, it looks like I'm going to die like one."
Music
I discovered Ethel Cain. I don't even know how I feel about her music like .. musically. Preachers Daughter is just such a good concept album. Spoilers I guess: It's about a catholic all american girl who ends up getting cannibalized in some attic. (I was also very into cannibalism this month. Replayed Andy and Leyley, watched Bones and all.) I love her lyrics. I'd read them just as poetry. I also love when artists make up a funny little persona. Do that more again.
Internet
I started going through Flickr. In the early 2000s/2010s before social media people would upload their private photos there to share. I had an account too. Because I saw a blog credit Flickt for some of their posts I started searching stuff too. Sometimes just key words or aesthetics. But I started looking up the first pictures of gay couples and trans people on there. Or old pride marches. I'm thinking about maybe making a blog and collecting pictures too.
Internet again
Honorable mention because I teasered it: I love forcemasc tumblr. Let's pretend its ironic.

Be Still
D.H. Lawrence
The only thing to be done now,
now that the waves of our undoing
have begun to strike on us,
is to contain ourselves.
To keep still, and let the wreckage
of ourselves go,
let everything go, as the wave smashes us,
yet keep still, and hold
the tiny grain of something that no wave
can wash away,
not even the most massive wave
of destiny.
Among all the smashed debris of myself
keep quiet, and wait.
For the word is Resurrection.
And even the sea of seas will have to
give up its dead.
[Thank you Poetic Outlaws]
