Today I learned:

* There was a Jungle Book 2

* Smash Mouth did the song that played over the credits of Jungle Book 2

* That song was a cover of Mr. Louis Prima's "Wanna Be Like You"

imagine... if instead of all these incredibly rancorous conversations about what 'is' and 'isn't queer', starting from the premise that there is one correct answer and it matters a great deal,

we sat down and talked about WHY people see gayness and transness and aceness and kinkiness and polyamory as related concepts, and material/economic/practical situations where the different experiences within that tangle shed light on one another?!

crazy concept, but it's called coalitionism and people do it all the god damn time!

The other night I had a dream about hanging out with someone I don't like. Outside their window, a neighbor had painted, directly on the side of their own house, a mural depicting this person as a prison warden.

Imagine living next door to someone who is, over a series of days, gessoing, sketching out in chalk, laying out the flats, then detail painting, a mural-sized unflattering cariacture of you, such that every time you look outside your bedroom window, you are forced to see it.
