*cracks open a bag of candy and a jar of salt* SO, HALLOWEEN PSA TIME
“influencer” is such a sinister title. it’s got all the menace of “royal adviser” but none of the raw sex appeal.
who would have thought that the solution to homelessness is providing people with housing? 🧐
Snow White Virgin, Blood Red Whore Pure like fresh virginity falling like winter snow, her eyes like heaven, glow innocence, beckon me to her. I follow like a faithful servant, follow her into a locked room lined with the misery of hell and she transforms before my very eyes once blind. What stands before me drenched in blood and draped in seduction, shit, and mud. Blind are we to the essence of life and all we see is what we want. A Snow White Virgin becomes a Blood Red Whore. Once pure and silent eats sin and violence.
I blink twice and all is bright once more, her lips sweet like honey embrace me and once again I fight to see the truth. Face her and I see blackened rot and ruined meat. I see now the thing I hate, a whore, a saint, my love and fate. Blind are we to the essence of life and all we see is what we want. A Snow White Virgin becomes a Blood Red Whore. Once pure and silent eats sin and violence. Now all ye faithful in blissful ignorance look to your virgins and see the truth. The vows they promise are fell from lips of a whore and nothing more than innocence lost and buried in lies. Bodies swear to cleanness covered in flies and kisses of the blind servants. So come together all the blind and faithful and kneel before your Snow White Whores and Blood Red Virgins and feed them your wishes and sins and watch them bathe in seduction, shit, and mud.

I know this; The most painful thing is lying to yourself to appease others.
May you always have money to feed yourself, put gas in your car, pay your rent/utilities , pay your tuition, pay your medical bills/prescription AND to treat yourself more often.
being queer and seeing historical queer love is like a punch to the gut in a good way every time
