Seeing shit like this play out just makes it harder to keep going. At this point it's a matter of when I do it, not if. What point is there if it's only getting worse? I've seen my best years by now
Your choice, of course.
But there's something to be said for living as well as well can in spite of the bullshit. Especially if there's folks that rely on us.
The most punk thing for me to to as a person of queer is to keep living, but God is it hard to find the spirit.
I get that.
I take some comfort that - I know I won't outlive every asshole, but I think I can outlive a bunch of them.
(This bunch in particular. A bunch of them are ancient.)
