Kapunk egy db jegyet szombatra a szigetre

42 ezer forint lenne hogy vegyünk még egyet és ketten tudjunk menni

Zoltán Erika az egyetlen előadó egész nap akiről már hallottam

JA MEG A DAVID GUETTA de azon már voltam egyszer a Balaton Soundon (céges csapatépítő volt!) , de az is lehet hogy az Tiesto volt, fogalmam sincs

Belenéztem random a többibe, de nem találtam meg az igazit, valaki innen tudja mi lesz a tuti buli?

Most már csak remélem hogy el lehet majd adni az ingyen jegyet

The Tyranny of the Elderly Gaze

I don’t get to write here very often and I have had a long, enduring break from the world of Tumblr for years for the sake of my own mental health. But today, as a transman, I had an experience that just made me need to vent it all out.

I get looked at every day. And that alone bothers me. The old, those who in our culture, we are meant to worship and admire as wise, are ideologically evil at times. Not all of them, but sometimes I really think that the only time America was morally righteous was 1941-1945 and then, it ended with nuclear catastrophe and the POC who served were treated terribly. But the “greatest generation” raised some entitled, coddled failures of human beings.

Boomers are basically children who have no concept of struggle, they were merely sentient in the same way an automaton or a roomba is able to think about how to navigate an obtrusive corner. They do not know what it is like to live in our housing market, to live inside of our heads that have more self critical voices than ever.

Today, in public transport, an older man stared at me for what felt like half an hour. And I just completely lost it. I am trying to have an ordinary day in my own skin, my own flesh and be comfortable with the person I’ve always been.

But even if I closed my eyes, I could feel the lingering judgement that peered through the darkness at me. I’ve always been a moth in the dark, attracted to the light of others, but all of my empathy for this person died instantly the minute he snuffed my flame out.

This person did not know me, but he hated me. He hated me and wished I did not exist. The look on his face alone proved that he saw me as someone less than a human being. And I hate that.

My entire life has been endless apathy and misanthropy, I have Osamu Dazai-tier loathing for life and my existentialism tells me everyday that living is meaningless, working is meaningless, that my disabilities and the fact that I simply have no idea of ‘self’, no concept or context of who I am half the time, even down to my fucking name... When people look at me like this, it just validates all of the hateful talk in my spirit. It is flaming arrows that scorch the battlefield that is my daily Afghanistan, my daily Iraq, this perpetual occupation of myself and this insurgency against who I am. Because no matter how much I do for the betterment of myself, there are a thousand voices inside of me that chitter like a swarm of locusts. I can’t make the chirping stop, a thousand birds constantly telling me how nothing I am, how I am nothing and will be nothing.

I want to just turn everything to zero somedays. If we all came from a big bang, I want to be apart of the nothingness that eventually becomes something.

Every day, people stare at me. I hate, HATE having to go to a woman’s bathroom. Just because I have to sit down to piss. It isn’t fair. But if I go to a men’s room, my own dudes act like I’m walking into the wrong place or they see me as something they can belittle, rape and destroy.

The decadence of other people’s thoughts are killing me. Because soon after this encounter with a boomer on public transit, I was doing my pitiful shopping with what little money I get a month from helping my mother due to her own disabilities and poor health... there was a boomer who basically asked if he could be ‘invited over’ to my place... at 7 PM! He just invited himselfover and his intent was obvious. He even said “You’re a strange girl, but its fresh!” And he just kept following me and saying how I dressed was fresh or interesting. I asked him politely to leave me alone but it was only when his WIFE came to babysit him, was I free from him.

I felt so sick. I couldn’t eat even. I skipped another meal with coffee and energy drinks as an appetite suppressant.

But I’m not giving up. That is my motto. Everyday, I hear a hundred voices saying I’m fat (even when I’m skinny and close to being underweight), that my chest will never be masculine, that I’ll never be able to buy that black metal hoodie in a men’s size without it making look like a dress on me, that I’ll never be as cool or strong or as brave as Elliot Page, that I look more like an Elliot Rodger, that people think I’m a “school shooty supreme”, or I remind myself that I have modeled myself after a gay, communist-sympathetic black metal musician who was stabbed by an actual fascist and maybe I am doomed to a similar fate. But I’m NOT fucking give up. Look at me all you want, my self esteem will get better and stronger one day, while you boomers will die alone because your kids and grand kids hate your evil, cowardly opinions. You can’t accept trans people, you can’t even fix your own phone - let alone take a selfie!

This isnot an ageist post, this is just to the boomers who think its okay to STARE AT TRANS PEOPLE LIKE WE ARE DOGS THAT NEED TO BE PUT DOWN. My grandfather is a veteran and a great guy, he loves me for who I am and he taught me how to do ‘boy stuff’ like spit in public when I was still just discovering who I am.

To ALL the boomers who have GROWN and CHANGED YOUR HEARTS to accept US, THANK YOU! I love you forever!

I may make more posts like this sometime.

Feel free to reblog this if you have felt something similar or experienced something similar and want to get it of your chest, bros and dudes and girls and gals!

I’m disabled, struggling to keep my phone, internet and groceries up to date and I don’t have many nice things. If you want to see more content from me and some more of the transman, disabled perspective with a bit of optimistic nihilism, considering sending me some dosh at cashapp

My cashapp is $MyrkrMork

My icon there is a touhou fumo, it should be

I’m not e-begging, but any extra money goes FAR in my situation and gives me more time to write and vent and think things over and handle myself in a way that might help others or simply relate to others

I do have a paypal but I don’t want to just put my dead name out there to strangers

Cheers

KVETCH, kvetch, kvetch!

Paddling Lake Woebegone... again.

Viernes 15 de Marzo, 2024

So where to even BEGIN to catch up with myself?

Back to SF Fev 6 - 20; cut short to make sure I was back to MVD in time for my shit to hit the street here — BUT IT DIDN'T, OF COURSE — SO I spent $200 to cut the last week off my trip*, cut the SFUSD by days**, and SIT AROUND for another ten days. So what to do? I know : a BIKEWRECK 🤬 23 Fev: the new bikelane down 18 de Julio, impulse to stare to the right at Crespo looking for the "perfect storage space" that wasn't...

WHAM-BAMM!! Ass over teakettle "en media calle" ; hit that big hard black rubber traffic cone with my left shoulder. Knew I'd jacked it good, and left wrist almost sprained, just above the left knee, left ring fingertip crushed.

People ran up to help the old fool... left arm hanging loose "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck..." vision pixellated, like my eyeball was hanging out or somethin. Struggled to see and walk, locked the bike to the closest parking sign, walked home bleeding from three spots on my right hand, and from inside my left ear.

Amazed the bike was unhurt, nor were my sunglasses of Bill's, the OPs I spent hundreds on lenses for, just this left shoulder I'd so carefully trained and strengthened since the 2018 surgery to correct the massive rotocuff tear and 40 year old dislocation from the 1977 wreck of Kent C's Alfa. No problem: just let go... again... of the wish, the strength, the confidence, the feeling of some small success. Nothing matters in this BEST of "GOD's will" world. HOW do I know God's watching, maybe laughing? Because the NEXT DAY + 7, Saturday 2 Mar, my stuff arrives at the SimpleBox in Ciudad Viejo 10months and $10K down this road (to ruin). Of COURSE the gold FINALLY shot up past $2100 right after I cashed most of it in to pay off the Aduanas (or Uruvan?) suckers.

Obviously, God wanted to keep me off a bike. Last Friday, 8 Mar, BOTH the blue Retrospec I bought here a year ago, and the newish Trek I just brought from SF were both swiped from just the other side of my door while I was eating my pressure-pot dinner about 9pm.

Not a SOUND. I came out for some reason about 10pm, first noticed the stair's door open, then the clean open space along the tiled wall where the bikes had been. I ran downstairs and outside, talked to a young man working for CUTSCA the bus company standing at the bustop in front of 2033. Yes, he'd seen a man and a woman run out the heavy iron front door into 18 de Julio with my bikes "about an hour" before. The guy almost ran into an oncoming bus in his panic to get away. NO the lobby camera didn't record past 30 minutes before. Pablo, the guy living directly below, turned out to be the building manager.

"We called them to fix the camera system, but they never came." This is the picture he knocked at the door to offer later, and how I tried to make it usable with Photoshop >>>

Juan Pedro, my host's son, was kind enough to offer to let me put off the rent until month's end, but, honestly...

Aikido says: "take the hit — then redirect"... that Saturday I spent an hour with a young policewoman taking my theft report with thinly disguised contempt for another clueless old fuck, this one with such lousy Spanish her patience wore out long before her few questions got answered.

"You know something's happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"

Ha ha ha. Talk to them in an indigenous language. When all you get is a blank stare tell them to learn said language or go back to their colonizer country (England, France, Denmark, Germany, ect).

Made some new prints of an old hit. All kneel before the Lord of this Hurl! One of a few Black Sabbath tributes I've done, it's also available on apparel in my Threadless shop. Prints are at artofgutrot.com or come visit me @thebrightonbazaar this Sunday 6/26. I'll have 'em bagged and boarded, ready to confuse all your relatives that ruined the housing market. #Gutrot #BlackSabbath #vol4 #print #okboomer #brightonbazaar #bostonartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHfKAuFJCf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For the love of all things holy and sacred, why does my mother think Facebook messenger is an appropriate way to get an itinerary to a person?!

Whenever I see stuff posted like this for the sole purpose of making fun of boomers or whatever I think it’s mean. She is trying and learning which is more than many old people do. Also the people who post these are usually the same people who get upset about stereotypes being in a movie from 1967, or they get hyper sensitive about inclusivity and bullying while using the name of millions of nice woman as a slur. Like if you were born with the name Karen you are the worst person ever. Oh it’s okay because it’s just a joke. No being fair to all people means being fair to all people. #meanpeoplesuck #karen #okboomer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_E0dgPVIV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
