Static in Motion

really enjoying how much healthier this site feels for us and how it's adjusted our social media habits.

it's nice to be irregular with void-screaming online presence.

now, next thing is to un-hermit ourselves with messenger and voice call circles too...

I don't think I've cackled outloud from anything in a few months, goddamn

Summoning rituals are just phone numbers for demons.

You ask a demon for their number, and they scribble down a ritual on a napkin.

it's hollywood numbers. any demon that says it's '666' is fake af. it's the only one posted in the bible for christ sake. "call klondike-five bezel boob."

on that note do demons have a number plan? an NPA assignment? is there a switchboard alongside the Styx with a Long Lines tower? is it considered long-distance to call from one circle of hell to the other? if you whistle a specific note into the line do you summon 𐌺𐍂𐌾𐌹𐍀𐌰𐍃, Keeper of the Trunk of Yggdrasil?

Our community is under attack more than we have been for the past decade. We grew complacent and got used to the level of assimilation and conditional acceptance and protection that allowed us to somehow see each other as our enemies.

This year we require unity. We must stand together in solidarity to protect what we've gained. We must protect our trans youth, our access to healthcare, and yes even marriage which is still currently the only way for us to gain legal recognition of our families and the privileges afforded to families.

So this year when you have a divisive opinion about other LGBT people who you cringe at or think suck. When you think about how someone is identifying wrong or overly liberal or making us look bad. I want you to repeat the following mantra:

I may be right, but now is not the time. We need every queer heart beating with blood to stand together and fight.

Thank you, and may your pride burn bright with love and joy to fuel us.
