i'm trying to decide if i want to go to idapalooza...
I’ve never been, and I feel like that’s a shame because I have no good memories of being queer in Tennessee beside sleeping in bed with and kissing on my gay best friend in high school (who kind of dumped me after I came out as trans) and wondering if I was actually a gay man; the slippery nature of gender, identity, and perception made those pounding passions happen—but...

writing and control
I’m reading Writing Without Teachers by Peter Elbow. He writes:
There is a paradox about control which this kind of writing brings into the open. The common model of writing I grew up with preaches control. It tells me to think first, make my mind what I really mean, figure out ahead of time where I am going, have a plan, an outline, don’t dither, don’t be ambiguous, be stern...

The work day had been two panicked emails short of unbearable, but I packed everything into my cheap nylon conference bag and trudged the short distance across campus to the closing dinner for a discussion group I had facilitated for the past six weeks. I didn’t sit with my group when I got there, because I was late but also because I saw an empty seat next to my other transgender friend. I...

i’m researching shipping quotes and uhaul trucks and it’s making my head spin with how expensive it is.
wondering if i can get it all into my car. i’m mostly just attached to my books, dishes, and kitty cat. but i’m also thinking of not taking the car because a lot of places to live in madison require paid parking.
Privacy is not an option.

“The ability to keep bodily matters private is a privilege some of us will never have. Just ask a poor person on welfare, a fat person, a visibly disabled person, a pregnant woman. Ask a person of color whose ethnic heritage isn’t seemingly apparent. Just ask a seriously ill person, a gender ambiguous person, a non-passing transman or trans woman. All these people experience public...

Georgia passed a copycat Arizona bill:
Like Arizona’s laws — which are fighting for survival in federal court — House Bill 87 creates new requirements for many Georgia businesses to ensure new hires are eligible to work in the United States and empowers police to investigate the immigration status of certain suspects.
Some business owners worry the crackdown will harm the...

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Dear Tumblr,
If any of you know people or jobs or people who have jobs etc in Portland, could you send them my way? I really, really want to work, especially because working beats not being able to pay rent and having absolutely no place for my partner and I to live, but, unfortunately, sending in 30 applications and having 5 interviews a week {each, not combined}...
