stuff and such
we haven’t written a real journal entry in oh so long. often we lie in bed thinking of things we want to say, but are unable to get up and write them. i think we are able to try and write right now because we are at ej’s…somehow that makes it less threatening. so maybe that is the key…writing from other people’s houses or when someone is at our house. or maybe the key is to leave the wordpress open in a tab all the time…i don’t know. just stuff to try. what i do know is that we miss writing.
we’ve been reading a lot more blogs lately. political stuff, trans stuff, disability stuff…they are inspiring, thought-provoking, angry-making. not angry at the blog writers; angry at this culture that still supports/allows/approves of fat-bashing, homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism, ageism, ableism, etc. etc. etc. it is good to be thinking of these things again; to be more aware and responsible.
we want to be like that. a good writer who inspires and moves and provokes emotions in people. something to work on.
speaking of ideas and working on things…and jaga and sean’s after-birthday party last night, several of us talked about creating a genderqueer chorus. i think that would be so awesome. i would love for it to get to the point where we could join GALA and go to the conventions and perform. we’ve created the first step…scheduling a day to rehearse and discuss/plan. it’s kind of an exciting! the two main goals are music fun and genderqueer visibility. yay!
there are lots of emotional/therapy stuff going on, but i don’t feel we can write about it at this moment. hopefully we can soon.
i think it is so cool that we are both sort of going through this process of reading/thinking about activist issues again. it is so satisfying to be able to have someone to talk to!
yous rock.
