I get how it's not actually paradoxical or surprising but it's eternally hilarious to me when the same people who say "But they're your FAMILY! You can't turn your back on the people who raised you!!!" also think it's a-ok to disown your children for the high crimes and misdemeanours of like. Smoking pot. Getting pregnant. Sucking dick.

i do kind of like what hardison's absence in redemption does for his legacy... like, obviously i miss him all the time but he really did that! he takes care of not just one but multiple crews, he's learned to keep the big picture in view, he coordinates and he leads and he makes decisions not just to prove himself as the best but because he knows now what he wants the world to look like.

and people who know him recognize it! hardison started out with this restless energy, this frantic drive to get the others to see that he's worth it. and obviously he always was, but there's something beautiful about him being secure in the knowledge that the people around him value him and know his level of ability.

and i feel like in redemption that's consistently reinforced through his legacy (breanna), his partners' commitment to him (parker and eliot) and the underlying infrastructure always described, all the groundwork he's done. i do get a kick out of that, it really shows what he's built and what built him as a person.

#i love the hardison positivity. he is so important #and this gives him and parker a lovely little arc in the date night job #leverage redemption

I cannot express how jarring it was after being raised by a "Porn Addiction Coach" to get into a relationship with a woman and come face to face with the fact that she did actually want me to sexually desire her.

Like, in Evangelical Purity Culture, male desire was basically poison. It was a threat. It was this constant temptation that would destroy everything. And even after leaving, in the sort of queer, feminist spaces i spend most of my time in that wasn't something that pretty much anyone was spending time actively dissuading me from feeling.

But my desire is good. It's not something that I'm being accepted in spite of. It's a positive thing. It's a bonus. Not even just vanilla stuff, all the stuff I'd convinced myself were these weird terrible desires that were shameful to have.

It honestly took me over a decade to fully accept that. To stop dissociating during sex and confront that I was, in fact, being a massive perv and that was fantastic and preferable and that I could accept that into my self-image without shame or self hatred.

But it's important to do. It's important to leave relationships that don't welcome that part of you. To know that your sexuality is valuable and valid and worth owning and celebrating. Because the alternative is just...not being. Either existing as yourself and repressing the part of your identity that is sexual or allowing that sexuality to exist but turning off your self while it does.

I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor

I've got a book launch event for BREATHE: JOURNEYS TO HEALTHY BINDING coming up at 1pm on Saturday May 11 at the Barnes and Noble in Santa Rosa (700 4th St). Say hello if you'll be in town!

Here's the info from the Barnes and Noble event page:

We are beyond excited to announce that we are hosting Maia Kobabe, author of 'Gender Queer' I.E. 2023's most banned book in America, for a Discussion/Signing of 'Breath: Journeys to Healthy Binding' by Maia Kobabe and Sarah Peitzmeier, PHD. 'Breath' is a graphic novel comprised of real-life stories and research-backed advice on the subject of binding. Maia will also be joined by local LGBTQIA+ non-profit, Positive Images, who will be setting up appointments for binder sizing while also handing out free binders and other goodies. We will also be having a bookfair with Positive Images that will allow a portion of all event sales to go back to the organization so they can continue to help the LGBTQIA+ community.

The book discussion will be open to all who would like to join however, one of Maia's books will have to be purchased to receive a wristband granting you access to the book signing line after the discussion. LIMITED WRISTBANDS AVAILIBLE so it is encouraged to buy your books before the event begins.

#oh very cool!
