when the body trots on

passed a memorial on my morning trot today. buckaroo about my age, lots of flowers. went to his instagram to learn his way and it was just packed full of photos with buds and good times. you strip away the body and all thats left is love. sad but also very beautiful and important

Say what you want about the 2023 Shakespeare in The Park production of Hamlet, but the choices made in that play WORKED. Having Hamlet wear a black hoodie and camo pants and him dramatically putting his hood up when he was pissed off was inspired. Having Horatio video tape Claudius on an iPhone camera from the side of the stage during the play within the play was hilarious. Having the play within the play be a hip hop dance number that represented the murder!?! Fantastic. Having Ophelia be a singer before she went mad and having a beautiful voice that everyone loved to listen to and then seeing her singing get worse and worse as she got nearer to death?!?! Hamlet pulling out his iphone after killing Polonius to show his mom a picture of his dad compared to a picture of Claudius and angrily swiping back and forth between the two as he said “What judgement would step from this… to this?” The crowd fucking lost it every time. Horatio singing to Hamlet as he died made me fully sob every time. The way they did the ghost on stage was so chilling and I can’t even accurately describe it, you just had to be there. Hamlet being deeply exasperated the entire time was just perfect. Hamlet and Horatio had a secret handshake. Laertes inexplicably carried an acoustic guitar case for much of the play which was very funny but also hit you with the heartbreaking implication that he had used to play while Ophelia sang and he stopped carrying it after she died. It was peak teenage-angst-hamlet and it was so dear to me. PLEASE if anyone has a recording, send it to me.

First day on the job at this haunted house I get there and they ask me if I can hose down English Willy. I ask what they’re talking about and they take me to a hallway where this 7ft fucking rabbit fursuit looking thing covered in blood is standing around staring at the wall. When I was like “what the fuck is that” they said they found him in a backroom. Apparently they call him English Willy bc the ouija board told them his name was William and sometimes he’ll say ominous shit in a british accent. And he just walks around occasionally screaming in pain. Why the fuck did I move to Utah

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Absolutely insane. I thought I’d be sad, but as it turns out, I am incredibly happy for him. I am so happy for him, and the life he has ahead of him.

My first pride was great and all the queens and entertainers were wonderful but the real star of the show was the ASL translator they had working

Like I don’t know who she was but she was fuckin VIBING

I’ll say it again, please just grit your teeth and vote for Biden…

was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality

They really are some of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen

Good Lord these new promo pics from the NYCC announcement are gorgeous

My first pride was great and the drag queens and performers were wonderful but the real star of the show was the ASL translator they had working there
