i'm sorry it's such a lousy story.

"I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they touched a woman’s body without her consent. After a moment of hesitation, all of the hands of the gay men in the room went up. I then asked the same gay men to raise their hand if in the past week they offered a woman unsolicited advice about how to “improve” her body or her fashion. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up.

These questions came after a brief exploration of gay men’s relationship to American fashion and women’s bodies. That dialogue included recognizing that gay men in the United States are often hailed as the experts of women’s fashion and by proxy women’s bodies. In addition to this there is a dominant logic that suggests that because gay men have no conscious desire to be sexually intimate with women, our uninvited touching and groping (physical assault) is benign."

i need to go to sleep but i’m reading a screenplay and having feelings and i can’t stop until i’m finished

i’m doing that thing where something that isn’t actually relevant to anything is suddenly seeming very important and today the thing is kill your darlings

i saw howl before it was in theaters at the museum of fine arts so i’m kind of crossing my fingers that i can see kill your darlings early the same way??

You have played,

(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.
