Like yeah, I'll never have a pain-free day in the future. I will experience pain every day for the rest of my life. But! I also will laugh with my family. I will create beautiful things. I will share beautiful moments with my partner. I will experience the bands that I love releasing new music. Things will get worse and maybe get better and it really sucks that I hurt so much but there is still so much good waiting for me. And I'm really glad that I'm still here to see it.

my DREAMCAR excitement is manifesting in odd ways

Endri, the DREAMCAR rat

Hours before the release of DREAMCAR's "Dream EP" and on National Rat Day, a new OC is born. This is Endri (he/she pronouns), a bigender rat inspired by the cover art of the Dream EP, Ziggy Stardust, and the closet of Davey Havok. Drawn while listening to lots of 80's new wave (and, of course, DREAMCAR).

You know people don't love the idealized version of you that's in your head, but the tangible you that they can see and feel with their eyes and hands and ears, the one with all the insecurities and things you don't love about yourself, the people love that person.

One thing that's likely not visible to all younger queers is that little kids shows have gotten radically queerer in the last 10 years.

I'm not just talking about Owl House, Kippo etc, much as I love them.

I mean like stuff for kindergardners.

Characters in Strawberry Shortcake and Superhero Girls and more have gay parents just unremarkably in the background. That was unthinkable 15 years ago.

But the thing that shocks me utterly is the casual inclusion of nonbinary characters.

Dee and Friends in Oz, Polly Pocket, Craig of the Creek...it seems like half the shows my daughter watches have nonbinary characters just seamlessly included. Not even a Very Special Episode. Just...here's the scarecrow in charge of scarecrow village who uses they/them pronouns that everyone just uses without comment.

I was almost 30 before I found the word nonbinary. For my kid to just grow up with this is astonishing.

Conservatives are so mad because it's INCREDIBLY hard to just put this kind of inclusion back away. Once something is normal, and clearly not causing anything bad to happen, it's hard to convince people to be scared of it.

What's more attractive than a partner who "lets you" infodump to them?

One who asks to be infodumped to. One who tries their very hardest to involve themselves in the fixations you're neurotic about.

Nothing says ~I love you~ like having your hobbies taken seriously 💛
