When they say choosing love over fear is the radical thing to do they're absolutely correct. And it's terrifying to do, choosing the good of us all over our comfort and safety. But if enough of us choose to do that then beautiful things start to happen. A better world is possible. We CAN do it

Get out of my head Charles

The thing is that whatever we could-have-should-have-would-have done, there's only ever Right Now. So, I dunno, make a change if you want. Or don't. But if you do, there's always Right Now to do it.

Thinking about it this way makes me wonder... what even IS an introvert? Is introversion vs extroversion real? Because EVERY introvert I've EVER known has been somewhere on the Au/DHD spectrum :|

.......Incredible brainwave just now: What if I'm NOT an introvert? What if I'm just somebody with AuDHD and I get overstimulated/overwhelmed in environments that are loud, busy, or unfamiliar? 🤯

Learning the differences between cis-gay-dude club etiquette and not-cis-dude-queer club etiquette the last couple days has been WILD let me tell you

Have you ever considered the experience of that unknown Spaniard who saw a chili pepper & became the first European to try a hot pepper. I feel some pity for that man who probably thought he was having some sort of sweet berry & who then felt as if his mouth was on fire & surely thought he was dying

"What if someone doesn't like what I made?" Ok but what if someone likes it.

The existence of Hemingway implies the existence of Hawingway, send post

Found the part of Proust where he's like "and a lot of closeted gay men seem to date women who are... men???" Starts with realizing bisexuals exist, goes straight to throuples and pegging, and then heads in a whole T4T direction. All our weird queer relationships have been around forever.

Sometimes the day really is just beautiful, innit

When Bruce Lee said be like water he meant be full of whales and weird nightmarish deep sea fish.

Anybody else noticing things going a little nutso around the big seasonal tent poles of the year (equinoxes/solstices)? Starting to think they have a similar effect to full moons but just more drawn-out.
