this summer's was sooooo good but that first one is always going to be a monument for me. when it got dark they played out the whole in the beginning there was jack speech in full with no music and i cried because i realised it was for *me* it was for that scared girl and for every scared girl

seeing the mostly cis crowd get that fucking excited for an unabashed declaration of our worth and a demonstration of what we can give back to the world didnt fix me on the spot but it pointed the way . if i am a devotee of anything its this

after the last time i tried to go dance back home and didnt end up saying a single word to another person i spent a year telling myself there wasnt a place for me on the floor and that id have to learn to be someone else. then my friend thea told me there was a pride event i should check out

it felt like i had asked the world for such a tremendous favor when i said i am a woman now that i couldnt possibly expect anything more from it

I wish i could beam the sentences "most people are pretty normal" & "your people are out there, you just gotta be the one to search for them" every trans woman who is preemptively hiding herself from society out of fear of judgement/rejection

a lot of the times those systems are atomizing, is the thing. think of all the people on here whose entire lens on the world is party politics news. i think we all deserve actual community structure

anyway all this is to say i really love my friends thank you for being in my life and helping me believe in myself

1310

i'm pretty sure we're connected to each other

i dont want to crack eggs nearly as much as i want to demonstrate what personhood is and invite people who dont feel like they deserve it. the eggs of course crack as a consequence

i would guess that we tend to institutionalize community because we dont have other institutions that claim us. but its the best kind there is

what if everyone could be part of something

i want to export the way we look out for each other . certainly there are problems inside the bubble but it's an intentionally tended society . do you ever take for granted that we get to have one of those? for a lot of people society is something that happens to them or that they merely observe

my friend who quit yesterday told me he wished we had talked more but that he was too shy. im like bitch i was too shy. lets hang out and play video games some time since we both have impeccable taste. i think a lot of straight people are very lonely

i stayed in the bubble for the next four years until i found a way to see for myself that most people are open to us if we're open to them. thank you maya and eris and maddie and dawn for showing me the way back home

i wish i could go back to tell myself that i still counted as a person and that the birthing pains to define myself more real and human to others - to most people, to people on the dancefloor - than i had ever been before. i wish i had thanked them and asked their names and traded stories

i must have seemed very desperate and vulnerable, shying away from conversation and eye contact, believing myself illegible to anyone who hadnt been in this exact position. i wasnt. the bears at coda would run interference to keep the creeps away. we never spoke but they kept an eye on me

2680

there wasnt really a doll contingent at these places at least not one that i knew to recognize back then. here and there i would see one person but she'd be embedded in her group in a way i didnt feel worthy of disturbing. i just wanted to know there was still a place for me, or at least where to go

2600

when i came out i suddenly didnt have any friends who went dancing so i would try to go to coda or electric island on my own, hoping that flagging in whatever way i could manage and moving the way i do would be some kind of beacon would help me find others like me

me getting ready to go see borella at coda, may 2 2022

i have been making some friends at work with the same sorts of hobbies as me and this experience is alien even to them and i remember how atomized the straight rave used to be even though it was the one place i would find myself talking to strangers and i am blessed i am blessed i am so blessed

1260

people are shocked when i mention how many of my friends i typically see in a given place im really honestly blessed

1260

getting to meet rue and fern and katie this summer kicked a lot of ass i rly love it when this plane becomes more material

it just rolls off the tongue better! a cat name MUST be able to be singsonged

nobody who hasnt already been told has ever noticed enough to comment and i think thats very funny. the sign of the beast convincing those who see it that nothing is there at all
