âitâs weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adultsâ oh my god. ohhh my god.
intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.
the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.
its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.
is this a joke.
If you believe there is something inherently wrong with adults being friends with teens, youâve been brainwashed into believing that every adult sees youth as a form solicitation.
“[When asked to draw God]…the children drew, for the most part, faces and figures - many with beards. One child drew a delightful cat, another an intriguing genie popping out of a bottle with two faces (one male, one female). Seven-year-old Daniel handed me the paper blank side up. As I made to turn it over he stopped me and said, “No, that side. It’s air. God is air.” The content of the adult drawings varied massively. As well as a few human figures of mixed gender, many people drew natural landscapes, such as mountains, trees, and the ocean. Some created shapes such as hearts, or spirals, or a dot indicating infinity. One of my favourites was a picture of a dog with the words, “The only thing that could get through to me when I was suffering.”

“I’ll figure it out” is a powerful statement. Yes, you may not know what to do next or where to even begin… but you are ready and willing to do what it takes. You will in fact figure it out.
when I was in film school “film bros” were specifically a variety of mediocre man (usually cishet and white) with zero imagination that would just glom onto the most popular “auteur filmmakers” in the US, like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers and even Nolan, and poorly attempt to mimic these guys without any of the skill or craft knowledge to know what it even is that they’re truly trying to mimic. I mean, I suppose it’s always been a nebulous colloquial term but that’s basically how we as people in film always understood it. and seeing it be mutated into a pejorative for anyone with a deeper interest in film beyond trending Hollywood features is actually kind of shit. literally the opposite of what was being criticized.
I miss when things used to be a bit ugly…. That’s when people had so much fun… now everyone is beautiful and untouchable and boring and sterilized…. Maybe fashion was weird back in the day and no one took proper care of their skin n whatever but at least people were having fun, at least people tried to be original and weird and fun instead of just being online . Maybe Sumtimes U have 2 go out on a summer day and have so much fun that u forgot to reapply sunscreen…. Maybe that’s what life is about ! Hmm….
When Eminem said “I can’t tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like” was that an endorsement of Kant’s distinction between noumena and phenomena?
