Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

I say this with so, so much care: Real queer shit written by real queers can and will sometimes make you uncomfortable. That's one of the defining features of weird, independent queer media. And weird independent media more broadly. Art that comes from true individual passion and authenticity has edges and bite to it that mass market corporate products intentionally do not. Has a rawness that can offend.

You are allowed to feel uncomfortable about it. But don't ask for queers to self censor for your comfort.

Thanks for reading,

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of "It's Not A Race." Originally released in August, this version is months late because the prospect of adding pages to what is easily my most read works was particularly daunting.

I wanted to post it again unattached to the original so I could display it the way it was meant to be seen. Blessings, -J

i love you on purpose!! on purpose!! i had a choice and I chose you!! it wasn't an accident !! I love you for who you are!! I love you on purpose!!

i say "hey friends look at this great memory from last year wasnt that so fun?!!!"

and you say "we should go spend more money like we did last year!"

and i say "oh i cant!!! but wasnt that memory so fun!!!"

and you say "you should just get this credit card and you can spend more money!!!"

and i say "im not looking for financial advice!! im just reminiscing on this fun time we had!! wasn't it so fun!!!"

and then you leave me on read because me saying i dont have money makes YOU uncomfortable

and then its my fault

and you still never even recognized the memory from last year

and its my fault

don't neglect your female blorbos. put HER in the torment nexus. give HER some old lady yuri. ship HER with everyone under the sun

Sometimes when I write fanfic, I’m like: am I going too far? Then SNL does a heated rivalry/Harry Potter parody with former child actor Finn Wolfhard

getting older is all about getting weirder and sexier and more perverted and gluttonous and intelligent and blunt and eloquent and spontaneous and skilled. i love that for us.
