all gestures of inclusivity within the realm of fashion art design media music etc etc by corporations or designers or houses or brands are all liberal chokeholds on our necks squeezing tighter and tighter with every demographic they lazily include and cover. i couldn’t care less about the demographics of fashion week castings or sephora ads at this point and it’s something i rly cared about for a long time but we have to stop letting corporations anchor our politics so much. fashion can choke ! art can choke . world is a fuck . 100,000 dead cops
i just want to let ya’ll know i was never asked out to a school dance in high school and have never been on a date in all 24 years of my life. i’m not mad about it, just trying to normalize it.
I was never asked out in high school either and I was in my twenties when I started dating. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to normalize that. It made me feel like I was a freak/unlovable for the longest time and if someone were there to tell me “it’s ok you’re not weird for that” it would have made a huge difference to me.
I was going though some old stuff and found an old Les Miserables playbill from 2002. Inside, I found an article about Michael Crawford and the upcoming production of Dance of the Vampires. It gives you a look into why this musical was not super successful on Broadway.
*The last paragraph does mention 9/11, so if this is a trigger for you, I suggest you skip it.*
the thing about desire is that its not an unlimited resource–it comes and goes and that’s what makes desire so desireable. but what happens once you get what you’ve always wanted? all of a sudden, the thing loses value because it’s no longer unattainable and that’s why i think some dreams aren’t worth chasing, because they’re only beautiful in their unattainability. don’t bring them down here, to our painfully normal world but rather let them live as something more than just ordinary, let them be unreachable and therefore untainted by the mortality that defines us. some dreams aren’t worth chasing because they’ll do you more good out of reach than right in the palm of your hand.
