WALLOWS LINES THAT MAKE ME FEEL
• 'my life's going by, but it's just begun.'
• 'all the times that feel like everything, when nothing really happens at all.'
• 'all the things you don't wanna let go, you wanna look back on in the cold.'
• 'there's a time you'll seek out a disguise, when you think people hate you the most. and it gets worse before it gets better, that's one thing that i've come to know. just so you know.'
• 'you've turned into someone that i never knew.'
• 'pick up the pieces, finding a place in the world to be.'
• 'when shit gets hard, don't worry about me.'
• 'laugh when i hit the ground.'
• 'we were wanting to grow up every weekend, now we're watching the moments as they're leaving.'
• 'don't let them take away all the games we've played; go on and take a bow, 'cause it's over now.'
• 'we can get up and try to feel ok again.'
• 'you & i, we grew up in the suburbs, now you're gone, the city's done a number. it is not the same without you around.'
• 'am i so thin that you can see through?'
the fact that such a hit of a line comes from one of their most batshit crazy songs is so funny to me
• 'thought i saw your shadow under the door - just a trick of the light i've seen before.'
• 'what age would you call your prime? we've been at this for a long time.'
• 'i can't make up another drawn-out vague excuse.'
• 'is my silence deafening you?'
• 'i hope you're happy with the things that you've got, and i'll still remember all the bright parking lots.'
• 'heart on my sleeve, i just can't believe that i wasn't doing enough.'
• 'let's invite your friends for a backseat drive.'
• 'it's not a crime if you take what's given - it's just a crime if you're paying for it.'

Day 23: 45,681. Broke 45,000! Under 5,000 words to go :) I'm slowing down this week - I'm telling myself it's to save some writing for the write-ins I hope to attend, but it's also nice to get to bed before 2am sometimes!
Last line: "Our archers can only do so much.”

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.
tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)
there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.
open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.
we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.
and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.
also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

I love ending e-mails with "thank you in advance". Like what are you going to now? Not do the thing I already thanked you for? Bring dishonor on yourself like that? No? I didn't think so. Check mate you have been played by the master of manipulation.
