Media glutton, poster, academic? Queer, fat, tired, all that good stuff. I live online. I do a podcast called Flash In The Pan also, it's great.
if you, like me, were a queer Green Day fan trapped in a rural conservative town in the mid-2000s
i am not that green day fan but i do know them and i will send this to them
this rules. as a musical theatre gay at the tender age of 12 who had never heard the term "concept album" before i was utterly obsessed with American Idiot. i was shipping Jesus of Suburbia and St Jimmy before i knew what shipping was. i grew up in a very liberal household in a liberal but still soul-sucking suburbia. i didn't need the album the way it sounds like you did, but it was such a source of joy and rebellion for me. thanks for writing this!
the image of tweenage you kicking your feet and writing jesusxjimmy slash is sending me to the fuckin moon, tysm for reading 💜 it sounds like this was a vibe that was very formative for us both!
