heterosexuals need to see our suffering
the violent deaths of our friends and lovers
to know glitter on a queer is not to dazzle but to
unsettle the foundation of this murderous culture
defiant weeds smashing up through cement
you think Oscar Wilde was funny
well Darling I think he was busy
distracting straight people
so they would not kill him
— CAConrad, from “Glitter In My Wounds,” We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics, eds. Andrea Abi-Karam & Kay Gabriel
As to whether the Gavle Goat's consumption should be seen as a good omen or a bad omen, I'd say good. Traditionally the Yule goat is made of straw from the final harvest and as a talisman against hard times, and there are unproven theories that its shape is inspired by Thor's goats, who are constantly killed, eaten, and reborn to provide endless meat for Thor and whatever guests he entertains. Therefore, its use by birds as a food store and safe harbor is an affirmation of its original purpose and truly in the Christmas spirit of generosity in lean times. What's more, the birds eating it seems to be have been the one outcome to unite both goat burners and goat keepers, as they have decided not to scare the birds away from their safe harbor and not to harm the goat, a decision that has been universally lauded.
As omens go, this one's all positive: safety, plenty, and unity between previous ideological opponents through a creative third solution built on shared values (birds being fed and sheltered is a good thing). May more birds find their way to the Gavle Goat next year.
i guess i'm not as despairing as many people about the future of the planet simply because the fact that we're not in way worse shape today suggests the earth is crazy resilient
Reading anything about environmental history is like "and by 1956 the river was so full of uranium and bubonic plague that the only living organism found in it was an single amoeba which died immediately after being documented" and I'm like okay maybe today's problems aren't necessarily uniquely disastrous and unsolvable

god i am always the FIRST to rally against the failures of just fighting for tolerance from straight cis ppl, but also we haven't even fucking reached tolerance yet.
we still need "We're Queer We're Here Get Used To It", because i don't know about you guys, but from what I'm seeing, they aren't fucking used to it.
we need that old school "we're your hairdressers, your teachers, your neighbors, your siblings, your friends" energy back ASAP. quietly queer isn't cutting it for me anymore. in your face dykes fag queer trans forever until i'm fucking dead.
While you’re out arguing whether necromancers or illusionists are more evil, the evocation caster just set 15 people and various nearby inanimate objects on fire, which is a clear breach of Protocol III of The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, thus constituting a war crime. In this essay I will —
Laura Jane Grace burning her birth certificate in North Carolina in 2016, after the state passed transphobic bathroom legislation relating to what is on a person’s birth certificate. (x)
Literally nobody is doing it like Laura Jane Grace. She looks like she’s having so much fun playing live, smiling and laughing and enjoying herself. She plays acoustic sets that cover songs from multiple bands over her nearly three decades long career. She named her memoir Tranny. She wrote a song called Dysphoria Hoodie. The music video for I Was a Teenage Anarchist is about the police brutality she endured as a 14 year old that radicalized her. When she learned about gender affirmation surgery as a teen, she offered her soul to Satan to wake up in the body she wanted. Against me!’s live album is called 23 live sex acts and features a severed penis on the cover. She’s unbeatable.
Embroidered onto the sleeve is an Arabic love poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. It reads:
قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً، فقلـت لهـم
ألا اذكروها علـى قبـري فتحيينـي
English translation:
They asked “Do you love her to death?” I said “Speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life.”
All proceeds from Hadal’s ‘Love Language’ pieces will be donated to Palestinian aid organisations.
