i rly have conflicted feelings towards jean genet bc on the one hand he was openly gay and wrote about the drag scene before anyone else did (in the french literary scene – i mean that he was the first one to reach the mainstream opinion) – and like… he gets it, exposes the mechanisms of misogyny and gender basically but…….. on the other hand hes so fucking misogynistic like… why do you have to justify your gayness by shitting on women………. why are you so complacent towards morally corrupt and oppressive masculinity (i.e nazism, fascism in general)……….. like dude. you get it. we’re in this together. instead of securing gender to sound ~ transgressive ~ lets burn it down!!!! you get it!!!! why won’t you help your lesbian siblings & women suffering from the same kind of oppression!!!!!!!! ugh

rly am a 21th century cyrano de bergerac tho 

– have been writing poetry who the girl they love for years without making any kind of move

– convinced they’re hideous monsters and dont deserve love

will help their rival get the girl they love and manage their relationship

– want to be both a swordfighter and a writer

– wear capes

– probably gonna “fail their death like they failed their life” 

conclusion: cyrano is a butch icon

i only know one (1) way to flirt with girls and it consists of sending them poetry about death

pretty sure im doing this whole dating stuff the wrong way

update: two of my other flirting skills include lending her my copy of The Straight Mind & listen to her talking about the way her gf treats her (who sounds like a super unstable person and leaves her hanging & walking on eggshells…) while doing my best to help her…………………………………………

real talk tho but small children (under 6) are so fucking funny……… hanging out w them is like being responsible for ur friend whos high af and completely smashed

i was babysitting this 4 yo kid while we waited for his mom to come home and he insisted we “took every his moneys out real quick to the store and buy a really little cheeses sandtwhitch” while walking & talking like the most drunk person ever

when i said no, that we had to wait for his mom and eat her dinner, he said “oh” like real sad and looked down then said 0.3 seconds later “then….. maybe a very little….. HAM sandwich” & then started to look for his piggybank that had literally 3 cents in it
