I used to be with "boysmell", but then they changed what "boysmell" was. Now what I’m with isn’t "boysmell" anymore and what’s "boysmell" seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Hey there chief just checking in how are we feeling on the Office for Civil Rights under Biden changing the rules to explicitly allow providers to just say "nah fuck it no trannies allowed" when there was absolutely zero reason for them to change the rules at all?

"You have to vote blue because at least the democrats won't roll back queer rights"

The democratic state assembly in washington just passed a bill forcing school to out queer kids, please tell me why i should be voting blue.

I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.

It's right-handed

I am right-handed

There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly

I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.

There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.

I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.

A homo erectus made it

Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.

Who were you

A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?

Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?

Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?

Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?

Who were you?

What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?

What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.

Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?

Or has it always been divine?

Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?

Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.

The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.

Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?

I'm not religious.

But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine

I don't know what is.

Americans love to talk about personal responsibility right up until it means they don’t get something spoonfed to them by a service worker, then they’re all helpless little babies and you’re a monster for not holding their hand through wiping their ass.

Your artist friends thrive on feedback. Tell them what you like that they’ve done. Tell them which characters you want to see more of. They do these things for love. It’s okay to send fan mail!!!
