Stonewall the QUEER SUMMER 2019

Interviewed for a teaching position this morning that we frankly need if we are going to keep our house. Did recently get an article accepted for publication, though.

wow, congratulations

Thanks!

medical treatment being rejiggered, gonna be a copay September

so much for getting a staff job somewhere, as i continue to bleed money

going to lots of films while i still live in New York

Obamacare sux btw

I will take u to ifc anytime morbs

I got too drunk last night, but I managed to grope and lightly make out with a theoretically straight boxer.

No "but" needed, the one follows the other

like a hangover

a boxer! Goddamn. It wasn't Oscar de la Hoya?

a lightweight in many respects

lightweights are cute

i’m a welterweight myself

i'm glad you are boxing! i would be too if my bones weren't, you know, made of chalk.

ha, have not technically sparred yet, just glovework with classmates/instructor, but i really love doing it and i’m definitely improving! (also most of my classmates are queerz, which is pretty rad)

i really love my boyfriend, like a lot. the end.

Yay

And same

I think I'll keep him.

i really love my boyfriend too but he's very far away from me. every day is excruciating.

John Cameron Mitchell otm

You said in an interview that you don’t so much identity as gay any more or certainly not as strongly. Why not?

MITCHELL: Gay has become a marketing niche. Like “top” and “bottom,” “man” and “woman,” and “comedy” and “drama.” You slice and dice so you can sell or be sold to — or to decide what show belongs in which Emmy category. Life has no niches, it’s a complex continuum with nuance and surprising juxtapositions. I don’t like to be marketed to and told what I am or should like because of my gender or sexual preference.

You’ve talked a lot about empathy, queer folks’ special skills at it, empathy being the opposite of “cancel culture.” Can you explain?

MITCHELL: The gift of being “other” is having empathy for the downtrodden and oppressed. “Woke” without empathy is just another form of control. Here’s an example. If you believe in prison reform and rehabilitation then you can’t cancel people. We, as queer people, have been canceled for centuries. Let’s make folks accountable and safe but let’s not co-opt our oppressors’ bullying ways.

Hello! Glad to hear all the updates. Morbz where r u looking to move?

Boof is packing up today and leaving by Friday, just had a good cry in his arms and banking on a few more. Hoping to figure out in what ways we will remain in each other's lives sooner rather than later. We'll seeee.

anywhere that's cheap as possible, surm :/

agh New York will not be the same without you!

Where will you end up, though, Morbs?

Regret to inform I'm still obsessed with "I Can't Tell You Why."

if anything the straights get their jollies these days by flirting with diffident us.

Diffident, firm, yielding us.

thank God I can never tell when someone's flirting

i'm debating whether or not to befriend more straight men
sometimes i like them
i dunno

happy almost fall!!!!!
I'm quite enjoying having a bachelor pad I mean, I can basically do whatever I want whenever I want it
IT'S NOT BAD

This dude I dated for a few months before we decided to be friends instead, I love him so so much
Today I spoke to him on the phone, he was expressing some body image issues
And I told him that, in fact, he was so beautiful that it felt cruel
He liked that!

aw that is so sweet
i think i would really like to hear that if i were in his shoes

congrats on your move surm

thank you!!! you know, i actually kept the apartment so while it wasn't a move, it really feels like a brand new home with just me there. i have to do a lot of redecorating soon....

The new Azealia Banks mixtape has gotten a lot of weird ire online but I just listened to it twice through and it fucking rules

I don't know where else to put that statement
