#queer temporality

“You fill yourself with the gift of time—the ticking of moments, the time you spent, the fact that you were always called a late bloomer. What is late? You are always on time.”

— Brennan Lee Mulligan, “Dimension 20: The Seven”

every time it snows I inevitably return to and reread this and I always find it comforting

When you’re a teenage dirtbag who only eats hot pockets but you’re 21 and literally have a degree in thinking and can have a discussion about the queer theory that explains why you’re being a teenage dirtbag at 21.

#queer time #queer temporality #ftm #teenage dirtbag #I’m loosing my fuckinf mind but like also having a great time #it’s confusing #I just like climbed a tree like I did in middle school last night and just kinda chilled in it. it was nice

fuck it, I'm gonna be a Theatre Kid in my 30s, this is definitely how Queer Temporality works.

GOD this Arthurian urban fantasy novel I'm reading is rotating article ideas around in my brain. maybe my academic interests aren't dead after all

#to be fair. I knew it would because Jes wrote it and their scholarship is one of the few sparks of inspiration still alive for me #but queer temporality.... queer and trans and autistic characters.... the neuroqueerness of time being out of joint.... #thinking Thoughts......

sometimes you’ll think about queer existence as it pertains to storytelling and mythologies and you just have to sit down for a bit because it’s so cool and so endlessly deep and you’ll never hit an end to where queerness is embedded into the core of who we are

#queer stuff #queer mythology #queer culture #my favourite of these is queer temporality #whenever i think about queer temporality my whole damn body tingles #also today: genderqueer-klinger pointed out how queer euphemisms are in several languages connected to flight (faires #fairies* birds etc) #here we are a bunch of animals and we build stories and we call one part of these stories queerness #and it's so so so good and Cool

I’m still processing so I probably won’t write a full meta about it today. But I just feel so blessed by the eighth sense. I am so glad that my prediction in my last meta was correct, cause we have so many stories of queer and crip death, and the eighth sense rewrites those endings. The last two episodes didn’t just give us a happy ending but one that felt like an ode to queer and crip futures and possibilities. Such a perfect capstone to a series so dedicated to showing the temporal fractures of living while queer and mentally ill. I just...so beautiful

#planning on writing a full meta post sometime this week on how the last two episodes are dedicated to queer and crip futurity #particularly as an antidote to the temporal fracture and stagnation caused by normativity #uggg so beautiful #the eighth sense #the eighth sense the series #t8s #weeps in joy #my posts #my meta

If you’re actually 12 years old you need to deactivate your tumblr account

I have an undiagnosed seizure-like disorder, and I would love some input from people who’ve dealt with this kind of thing.

It started out of nowhere one night and has been going on for months. I have these episodes where I spasm and stutter, as well as seeing flashing lights and hearing things. I get super nauseated from them, especially as they’re coming on and first starting. I also feel like I’m falling or in an elevator, and sometimes I get deja vu about everything. Sometimes they only last a few minutes but other times it’s hours.

I can’t go anywhere or even do anything around the house when I have them, or else they escalate to where my body is spasming so violently I can’t even sit up straight in my wheelchair. They also make me sensitive to light and sound, so even if I make it to my college classes, doing the homework causes or worsens episodes. I’ve been hospitalized twice for it, and both times they found nothing wrong with my brain or electrolytes or anything.

I have cyclic vomiting syndrome, another poorly understood disorder that causes my autonomic nervous system to try and kill me in response to strong emotions, plus anxiety and depression. I’m also AFAB and I have some childhood trauma from being a hella sick kid. All this makes me a stereotypical candidate for functional neurological disorder. But my symptoms also match temporal lobe epilepsy perfectly, and if seizures aren’t treated, it could be dangerous. I’m afraid I’ll get fast tracked to an FND diagnosis without properly getting the TLE ruled out.

If you have FND or TLE, have any advice on getting a diagnosis accurately? What has your experience been with dealing with the medical system?

“We can understand queerness itself as being filled with the intention to be lost. Queerness is illegible and therefore lost in relation to the mind’s mapping of space.”

#i hate q slur discourse so im gonna vent about it here instead of commenting #but i do kind of hate how queer is used so universally as ~queer theory~ or ~queer lit~ or whatever #a) it isnt inclusive. reclamation is a complicated and personal process and its kind of unfair to hoist that on everyone #b) even when slurs are reclaimed like. it still feels weird to have them be used in the NYT #and in academia and shit #its also really intetesting be the 'reclamation' is more spatial than temporal #like at the same time my university offered queer history courses #i heard someone say 'ive never seen one of those queers. they know better than to come around here' #its not that im opposed to its reclamation or use #but it feels soooooooo disingenuous to act like reclamation is a finished process and it feels like #to have it be used to advertise shitty YA lit to me #is just an insult. y'know? and academics that go 'queer just means difference or deviation from the norm!' #instead of a word people use to enforce SPECIFIC rules about who can perform femininity and when and how #like when i hear the word i think of a) the shitty conservatives from my hometown #b) academics whose theories i either find vastly overrated or horrifically misinterpreted #or c) seattle liberals whose experience of ~queerness~ is so vastly different than mine i sometimes wonder if we speak the same language #its a word that should be reclaimed by screaming and writing it on my arms at a protest #not by like. having spotify use it as a podcast category

"while S/M cannot return its players back to a prior historical moment any more than a museum can, it can remind us of what the museum itself represses: memory is not organic or natural at all but dominant historiography simply demands that the props for modernity be hidden so as to make it seem so. In turn, S/M shows us, memory can prop up projects unrelated to the history it supposedly references"
