gotta remember that I was pretty thoroughly trained that I was physically ugly, intellectually weak, and morally bad, as well as that nothing good happens next. Such that without specifics setting me off, this is still a constant uncomfy stew, a subjective filter and not a fun or helpful one. And it's therefore useful to consciously remember that things probably aren't as bleak as all that.

You know what I'd really like as Queer movies (caveat again, maybe this is out there)? Purely representational; characters are some flavor of Queer but their stories have nothing that especially NEEDS them to be Queer; they're simply Queer because people ARE sometimes.
See also "stories should have Blacks, Asians, and women, not because they're filling stereotypical comic, martial artist, or strong women roles, but because people ARE." Hell, maybe even someday there'll be stories where a character's Jewish because it happens sometimes.

why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
rainbows are visions, but only illusions
and rainbows have nothing to hide
so we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
somebody thought of that and someone believed it
look where it's got us so far.
what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
and what do we think we might see?
someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell
we know that it's probably magic
have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet song that calls the young sailors
the voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it, it's something that I'm s'posed to be
someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

it's so weird having "People are Strange" with some place which ISN'T Santa Cruz
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
