Dancing to the loss of your own childhood is the best feeling. Like rip to past me but I’m different. (And that may be a bad thing, and that may be a good thing, but either way, here is something old and familiar and dying, and something new and unknown being born. And you’re scared. You’re sacred and numb and free and you’ve grown out of your own age. You’re young now, younger and stupider and more foolish than you’ve ever been. You know so little, you care so much. You’re a stranger, even to yourself. Especially to yourself. Something changed in you. Something’s lost to you. All that’s left to do now is dance and cry and laugh because it’s all a joke, the best joke in the whole goddam universe, and you might as well enjoy it while it lasts, because you can already feel that slipping away too.)

self proclaimed leftists with entire graduate degrees on twitter not understanding that tourism in places like latin america and the caribbean is a form of neocolonialism even in places where the national economy is dependent on it. just because the government is making money off of ur lil excursions and hotel stays doesn’t mean regular citizens are, especially in your fave ‘tropical getaway spots’. the fact that sandals wanted to build an entire resort in tobago where my family lives might sound great for the economy or whatever until you realize that they would’ve closed off several acres of land and made it inaccessible to non-tourists which is fucking insane thing to even propose on such a small island. like i’m sorry but do you really think my family is grateful when you crackers come to visit during the winter?? do you really think your presence adds value to their lives?? when the govt invests money in ports but not paving the fucking roads anywhere that’s not downtown/vacation home territory?? you white losers need to put down ur marx for like half a sec and pick up a small place by jamaica kincaid. like lol if you wanna be a tourist be a tourist but don’t fucking act like anyone who refers to it as a contemporary form of colonialism is doing too much. ESPECIALLY when this sentiment is legit coming directly from the people living in the getaways you love to visit. i genuinely don’t understand how y’all can grasp the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” shit but can’t understand this.
big fan of repetition in poetry. like hell yeah say that shit again
I am SHORT and GAY and ANNOYING, and this means I sit on EVERYTHING, and NOTHING can stop me

Turdus aficionados of Costa Rica please know I love your national bird but this is objectively hilarious
