Do people still use Tumblr?

I haven’t been on here in FOREVER. I don’t know why I have been away for so long, could be because I sleep more. Meh. Anyway, let me dive into it now.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Here is one of the many bottles my wife uses to discard her test strips, insulin pens, and needles.

We assume that others show their love in the same way that we do and if they don’t follow that equation, we worry that the love is not there.

I did that with my mom.

And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this! And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, No. This is what’s important.

It is a breakup.

Fela in the background 

Saxophone calling to attention

she demands to be legitimized

it is a breakup

we were not together but

it is a break up

we are sitting close

breathing recycled air

not daring to touch because

it is a breakup

the bass cuts in

rhythmic call to attention 

keyboard daring us to relax

this conversation is not matching ours

so little is being said now that I have agreed

it is a breakup

We go into the silent Fall night

The breakup has to end

We hold each other 

standing still hearts close

I say it one last time

because it is a breakup

I am in love with you

she thanks me for saying it out loud

we are in love yet

it is breakup.

Buzzfeed wrote a great piece about Androgynous Fashion and interviewed Sonny in it. This advice is great!

It’s funny, if you ask a Republican in Congress if they believe in climate change, they say, well, uh, I’m not a scientist. “I’m not a scientist” — that’s what they say. But when it comes to a woman’s right to choose, suddenly they’re a doctor.

My favorite painting. I have gone to MoMA every other week to visit it.

"I’m interested in expressing the big emotions—tragedy, ecstasy, doom." - Mark Rothko, born today in 1903.

I feel like I'm drowning, yet I can see everyone around breathing perfectly fine. I'm quietly dying and I feel so alone and no one has noticed.

I'm glad you reached out to me but you should do it off anon so we can talk in private. Hope you're hanging in there.
