Babygirl, unpack yr sweaters and get FABULOUS in FALL gay homo queer &c 2012

so on board w. cum rituals and nudism

"i trace this mandala of spunk across your chest"

that's fun but taking it soooo seriously as a 'lifestyle' is a pain.

i really had no idea that radical faeries is an actual thing... so far outside my view of things

Such animosity towards RFs itt! I mean yeah taking it super seriously and like blessing vegetables and stuff is a little eyeroll-inducing at times but I am still staunchly #teamfaerie

wait -- what is a radical faery?

It's super reductive to just write them off as hippie-dippie new age bullshit; I mean they are a lot more than that obviously. I get finding aspects of it annoying but being all HATE HATE HATE @ a group of people who are so positive and also mostly mind their own business seems strange

i don't hate em. hate is a waste. I'd just find em too silly to be around regularly.

Hmm it mostly sounds like fun early-20s sexploration extended into adulthood and with costumes and facepaint, no judgement here, would not smash tho

smh @ at life choices + would not smash

If you are worried that a cool friend is destined toward radical faeriedom, what do you do? "Wow that tailored suit looks SO nice on you, you should like wear suits all the time" or something more drastic?

you buy him a Bryan Ferry album.

Queer as Folk episode "Stand Up for Ourselves" features a storyline where the characters Emmett and Michael attend a rural gathering to discover their "inner Faerie." Various adventures ensue on the land, including a mystical encounter with Harry Hay.

my beard is definitely at hippie-length these days

ph1l is moving towards a socrates-level beard

so I'm trying to stall calling the guy I'm dating because I don't want to see him today even though it's been six days. Cold?

gay

does that mean that you guys are actually dating?

insofar as we've seen each other seven or eight times

Guys, I never seem to have anything gay to talk about...

Most of us seldom do, it seems!

yesterday i was listening to prokofiev with a cat on my lap drinking chai and reading hegel. dunno if that's gay or just poncey.

wow some commas would be helpful there

ftr my cat can't read or drink hot liquids

yesterday i was listening to prokofiev...

c, sometimes I think you are baiting me.

The gayest thing I did this weekend was blow off the zombie pub crawl.

hehe

The gayest thing I did this weekend was having Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break" blaring from my car window, to which one pedestrian gave me a definite WTF look.

I saw a jazz concert last night and wore a shapeless grey flannel shirt. Today I step up my gayme

further to the radical faerie discussion, there are a number of other neo-pagan / ritual gay orgs i've learned about in my internet adventures:

i'm of two minds about the sort of liberated sacred sexuality, because i'm not about to criticize anybody for their search for spirituality, community, and support as long as they're not hurting anybody. on the other hand, do you really need all that witchy paraphernalia if you wanna have a circle jerk? i don't want to question alleged spiritual motives but i think you have to.

Some people are into leather and chains. Others are into pollen.

yah i mean i think its just the theatre of it. sexual practices that supplement the body, new possibilities of pleasure with strange parts of the body. also i think its sortof hard to think this outside the aftermath of an AIDS discourse, a desire for reparation and healing. like AA Bronson's recent work definitely gestures toward a rad fae space. invocation of the queer spirits. In the sky and in the eye and

lol, love the idea of reparative f***ing

I am owed.

i had about as gay a weekend as i possibly could've

"Golden Girls" marathon and strawberry daiquiris?

Faerie frottaging and cottaging?

gay zine launch party, gay awards gala (feat. a partial restoration of 1919 german silent film 'anders als die anderen'), gay bar after a poetry reading last night, a gay friend's birthday party, and an opera where i totally fagged out over NETREBKO and the cute gay polish baritone. and um, other things.

tonight i am planning on doing absolutely nothing

guy i slept w saturday texted me to say hes got crabs

informative text or accusatory

agh plax/lol stevie

guy i slept w saturday texted me to say hes got crabs

this happened to me about twelve years ago ugh

here's the thing: rad fae stuff is HUGE out here, and in the end, i can't help but see it as an excuse to be a slut. that's fine, i love sluts, but don't dress it up in a bunch of new age yippie language and appropriated imagery.

and here's the thing: while i haven't seen too much of the more recent work, i pair AA Bronson with people like Elijah Burgher and bands like Coil or THC in my head, and that sort of sexual magick (more satan less pagan) is fine with me.

also, sorry plax. :-(

i haven't had enough coffee, sorry for my repetitions in that first post.

xp what's so horrible? isn't it just a shampoo and you're done? it's not like lice or bedbugs or scabies, no?

shave yr pubes off, it is the thing for 2012
