the truest art is art that cannot be experienced by words or pictures or that can be bought or sold and transplanted into a gallery or house to collect dust. art that defies description and enclosure, art that must be experienced first-hand and digested on-the-spot does not compare to art that can be brought home and hung above the mantlepiece to be viewed at leisure. even art that is captured and reproduced for such a purpose does not compare to the original product
Friend: *takes weeks or even months to respond to something* I'm SO SORRY for the delay!
Me: *delighted to be on the other end of this for once* It's completely fine, take as long as you need, take forever, we will always be cool.

It happens! In fact, it happens to me a *lot*.

not to zero, of course, but reduces.
Oh hi, everybody I know.

Oh, today is Intersex Awareness Day. Neat. Well, uh, just to make y'all aware, I was born intersex and forced to undergo surgical correction, for cosmetic reasons, at age 10 that will prevent me from ever having bottom surgery due to extensive scarring, and also left me with a significant fear of surgery. No, I'm not still bitter.
there were dogs being very loud and we went to the window and said please be quiet and they stopped barking entirely
