if you’re out there and you feel crippled by some mix of health anxiety and hypochondria, and it feels like it’s never going to get better, just know that it really can. therapy can really help.

random note but i’m so proud of how far i’ve come with my health anxiety. a few years ago i would regularly spiral convincing myself i had (insert self diagnosis) and would get really upset and doom spiral whenever i had any physical issues. today all that noise has pretty much gone away.

Mary Oliver agreeing with Walt Whitman on what a poem foundationally is.

yes. he makes up this three wave paradigm out of thin air. and he keeps insisting on these associations that aren't real between gay rights and NAMBLA, or bestiality. He also does that weird conservative thing where he attributes unified strategic agency to a vast social movement over decades.

*clarification: "these guys" isn't meant to include the post I originally quoted, which was a somewhat relatable and funny observation.

i read a really dumb homophobic article published by my former employer this week, and these guys just don’t get it. they have so profoundly encased their own sexuality in phobias and taboos that they don’t grasp that sex can be fun. so they have to demonize those of us who have fun with it.

oh my gosh, I’m so glad/relieved you like it. i had to do four or five takes before i was ok with the recording.

thank you for the poem. i didn’t have the same clinical experience as you, but your words resonated a lot with my experience of religion and queerness.
