@Kittenfish817 I had a roommate in Spain who was a 47 y/o gay man that threatened to hit us when we would get into verbal arguments with him and when I’d ask him to clean up after himself he’d tell me to go back to my own country 😍
i wish robert spearing and whitney halberstram had interacted. whitney would go on a supervillain monologue and then robert would be like “lol wot sorry mate i wasn’t listening”
if you have actually seen a video of a fox hunt, to the very, unbelievably bloody/savage ending, you will be stricken with a kind of existential horror; not just that the lone fox is "hounded" until it is exhausted, & not just that it is torn to pieces, but the involvement of the human beings in the savagery is repulsive. seeing fox hunt videos in the UK, it wasn't such a stretch to interpret the "hounding" of the helpless animal as an emblem of British imperialism. so too the Irish were hunted down, slaughtered by British soldiers. so too-- well, fill in the blank.
this is lovely. but look. you don't have to wait for that person to show up in order to cut up the mangos. you don't have to hold all your love in a bottle until your prince or princess falls out of the sky. you can write the sticky notes and cut up the mangos. you don't have to ration it, hold it all in and let it ooze out of you at the first glance of someone liking you back. pull it out of you each day, in your texts to your friends and your calls to your mom and your glance at the barista. you'll find you don't run out, you'll find there's even more than you thought. if you let it out, there will be more and more mangos. if you let it out, there will be endless sticky notes.
