I love "Stupid Love" and I think abt dancing a lot, but specifically I think abt how much collective joy there will be the first time I go to one of my friend's gigs or to one of the cool queer techno parties

― clouds, Monday, 22 June 2020 02:31 (three years ago) link
i wish i could be a customer at your grocery store.
i really strangely LOVED working in a grocery store, except they didn't pay enough. the work itself was satisfying and i hardly ever paid for vegetables because i was the guy who cleaned the greens and managed the stuff that was going to compost/horse feed/still good for humans, but not for sale. i also loved my co-workers. to be honest, if they paid better, we probably would have stayed in California for a few more years.

we're going camping for July 4th in a state forest that has a no fireworks rule, so that's nice.
― blue light or electric light (the table is the table), Monday, 22 June 2020 14:43 (three years ago) link
Fireworks have been rampant in Brooklyn, people are going crazy because of pandemic… But yr plan for the fourth sounds great though :-) :-) you know, my friend Claire worked in a bagel shop on Long Island, and I was always jealous of that. I’m also here to tell you that pandemic financial and unemployment woes r real and I don’t like them. I’m also fresh off a couple of shots of whiskey after a freakkkkky day so totally recognize that I am not making much sense right now

Yeah the fireworks this year in Philly have been intense.

we’re going camping in idyllwild tomorrow, very much looking forward to getting out of the city for a spellthere’s usually a weeks-long lead up to 4th of july fireworks in LA, but it does seem a bit more pronounced this year. they’re definitely louder than usual, but they usually subside by the time we go to bed

I have no sense of it being a hot NYC summer, bcz except for one ambulance ride i've been indoors since May 8.
However, things are looking up medically, and it seems quite possible I'll be sprung from the hospital SOMEtime this month.

It's a noise issue bcz the clientele at Julius' needs to shout to be heard from 6 feet away.

Queer public sex is at the heart of a culture war b/t radical queers vs reformists. Under the surface, anti-public sex views are steeped in racism, classism, gentrification, and police surveillance.Why public sex is integral to queerness.

I have to put my ex’s pictures away tomorrowIt’s been almost a yearWe are still good friends so it hasn’t felt that weird to have them up until nowIt’s not exactly that I am heartbroken. it’s just he’s moving on so fast. I guess it’s the closeness of such a good friend that I miss the most. He was my family. And the fear that he just didn t love me as much, there’s shame. I feel like a cliché, letting myself get sad because he’s on a beach somewhere with his new boyfriend. overall I’ve been fine, I just didn’t expect my first year as a single person to be in lockdown. I need to get creative. Truckin’ on.

And I should say: I am all for public sex, and have participated in such a number of times
― blue light or electric light (the table is the table), Friday, 24 July 2020 11:17 (three years ago) link
They mention in that article that "all public sex is quasi-public sex" and I like that.
I don't like that they try and pawn off anti-public sex views as being heteronormative or a product of complacent capitalism or w/e. Maybe it's the case but I don't actually know anybody who is arguing that?
I feel like there are four environments:
1. Places where nudity is discouraged and the atmosphere is non-sexual (the workplace, public transit)2. Places where nudity is discouraged and the atmosphere is sexual (a bar, the dance floor)3. Places where nudity is encouraged and the atmosphere is non-sexual (the nude beach, the changeroom)4. Places where nudity is encouraged and the atmosphere is sexual (the bathhouse)
For me, it does feel like a violation of consent when these lines are blurred. I don't want to suddenly find myself in a sexual environment without agreeing to be in that environment! This doesn't feel like surveillance or capitalism or whatever... to me, suddenly being exposed to "people fucking" in an environment where fucking is not encouraged feels about as cool and OK as a stranger exposing themselves to me on a subway
