See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

So you get to pick either: 1. Ellen Page 2. Kristen Stewart to come out, and actually say the words not just glass closet it. This is theoretical, not trying to get ya in trouble. For visibility/impact on the community who would you pick and why?

laneia says k-stew b/c she’s more famous and it would affect more people b/c of all the tweens obsessed with twilight. i picked ellen page ‘cause i imagine she’d be more outspoken and more of an activist. i like k-stew’s awkwardness 'cause i relate to it, but for impact i think someone more open to talking about their lives like ellen page would be better in the long run to the community, and she’s pretty famous too.

do you ever regret autostraddle? where would you be in your life if you hadn’t done it?

you asked me this three weeks ago and i still don’t think i know how to answer it.

i regret it every moment that i worry saying “i regret it” will make it harder to make autostraddle work logistically w/in the contexts of actual human life/humanworld/robot-face-usa or when i face hypocrisy that reminds me to smile pretty but watch your back.

i don’t know where i’d be in my life. i might be wanting to do autostraddle, but i don’t know that i would’ve done it now this moment had i known more about the future.

but also it is the fullest, most rewarding experience of my life, and how can i even say i regret it

some moments have been so beautiful, so full of KNOWING, despite the many more that are frustrating. The highs are so extreme.

I never know how to answer questions about regret or where i might be otherwise

I met a girl at the disco, I texted and called. no response. what else should i do if anything?

maybe send her one more text just saying like, ‘a'ight, good to meet you, hit me up if you ever feel like it’ (not in those words obviously, but uknowhwatimean) and then let it be. that’s really just to make sure you didn’t just happen to catch her during a bad mood/shark attack or something, though in general anyone who ignored your initial attempts at contact is not likely to be someone it would work out with regardless.

The Day Lady Gaga Died

What is this day: is it like a rainbow
an abstract I kinda grasp, is it a house with the white streamers on it
how can I get at it.

Once I knew a girl called herself Beauty
and her leather accessories Beasts.
So can things be what I name them, is that the secret.

Once on a time in Osteuropa
a girl lived who went to the Contours Club:
she touched herself on a Slope among the Sunclouds™.

That all sounds vapid. Yeah, I touched myself. Kind of fat,
never thought I was a natural, a star,
I just didn’t “get” the others. But you,
you don’t want to hear that part, you just want me to keep having sex
among the politics.

Fuck you: all I want to write about is
bumblebees, bumblebees.

New York School is because
you have to name things in New York.
Otherwise, too much exists
