Lovemaxxing. Joypilled. I love being queer, I love queer people, I love the communities of many shades of love we all create together. There is truly no more beautiful thing in existence than our capacity as living beings to care for one another.

When they say choosing love over fear is the radical thing to do they're absolutely correct. And it's terrifying to do, choosing the good of us all over our comfort and safety. But if enough of us choose to do that then beautiful things start to happen. A better world is possible. We CAN do it

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Jar of Moles (Grant Zoology Museum, London)
crittery dozened things each pink snout snootling
formaldehyde up it's bamboozler which poor fuck
had to collect them out in the dirt with a shovel
here moley moley  	BONK . I’m only gonna
put you in a jar and let tourists go eww at you
for the next two hundred years god look at me
for two hundred years I’d do anything look 
mummy, one of them’s licking the glass—
honey it's dead  velvety sweet sardined hope
their ghosts are friends teeming in a molish
afterlife dark and circular everything worm-
flavoured tasty buggy snackerels what if 
you smashed the mole jar? vinegared
moles spilling out flaccid & swimming
everyone screaming someone saying Freddy
you gotta get us a new jar of moles—
—goddammit boss I  never asked for any of this
A jar of wet preserved moles, the jar is very full and all the little hands, feet and snoots mark it as both upsetting and fascinating

It’s okay if you can’t blend in with everyone. Because your own unique path is the most beautiful one🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Cherish the parts of you that are different from others. Let’s treasure those differences and keep moving forward. Your world is shining with beautiful, vibrant colors🌈

Have you ever considered the experience of that unknown Spaniard who saw a chili pepper & became the first European to try a hot pepper. I feel some pity for that man who probably thought he was having some sort of sweet berry & who then felt as if his mouth was on fire & surely thought he was dying
