I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes.

I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It's very nurturing. It's very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us, we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school. ↗

Somewhere I’d heard, or invented perhaps, that the only pleasures found during a waning moon are misfortunes in disguise.

I profit from great harvests in life and believe in the importance of seasons. ↗
