Sometimes I wish I had the confidence of an online polyamorous white genxer from the Pacific Northwest who just got a new crystal necklace and is using it as an excuse to post a tit pic to a chorus of praise from excitable bearded pagans & bisexual barnes and noble employees who do burlesque
I love reading this each time I see it it’s like the golden ratio of words
I'm so crazy about butches. They're such resilient, funny, fantastic people. I started a new job recently and there's more bull dykes here than I've honestly ever seen in one place before. It was instantly amazing to see them, and to have that reciprocated. To immediately be adopted and have butches my age and older compliment my leather jackets, my presentation in general. It's an honor and something I've never experienced before to have an unspoken, physical community. To know they'll watch my back like I'll watch theirs. To feel safe in being butch because I'm not alone. To see butch people, respected and honored as highly competent, skilled, intelligent people has been something more than I ever thought I'd see in my state, or honestly in general. My boss is tough as nails and she commands a room when she walks in. The exact kind of butch I knew I wanted to be as a kid. I already look up to her so much. And even better? Her wife is butch, too. Which, as a butch who only likes other butches but didn't think I'd ever have something like that, absolutely ran me over. It's just, insane to see with my eyes that I'm allowed to exist and I have proof. Proof that people like me are alive and strong and making it. Absolutely insane.
This post reminded me of this particular passage in Stone Butch Blues, hope you don’t mind me adding it here 💜
[Photo of text reads It was time to find a factory job. The butches urged me to try to get into steel or auto. Of course I already knew that. I wasn’t a damn fool. The strength of the unions in those heavy industries had won liveable wages and decent benefits.
But Edwin said there was more to it than that. The trade unions safeguarded job security. She told me that unlike a non-union shop if she had a run-in with a jerk on the plant floor, it didn’t signal her last day on the job. You wouldn’t be fired just because some foreman didn’t like your face. With union protection, all the butches agreed, a he-she could carve out a niche, and begin earning valuable seniority. ]
after 20 busses i could take being PACKED full of people and nearly 50 minutes of waiting i merely decided to take the wrong bus on purpose just to see if it takes me closer to uni
i’ll just hope this guy takes me at least closer to where i need to be 💀
well well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions (he took a right and now i’m at a supermarket)
so update: i got off and now i’ll try another one. maybe this time i’ll be more lucky!!
so erm i did get on a different bus that actually does take me closer to where i need to be
massive problem though this one, IS AN OUT OF TOWN BUS. and um my cool quirky little student transport card that gives me a discount is no good here.
of course i didn’t realise that until AFTER i got on so woopsie
that’s sorta awkward
ok so i may be 5 bucks poorer because of that teeny mishap but hey!! at least that bus took me to a big metro station where a ton of passengers get onto and out of busses!
and!! another lucky break for me, the bus i wanted to get on in the first place stops there too!! YIPPEE
i’m on it now, just one bus left wahoo
this has been far too much work just to go to uni and still be late anyway but whatever i committed now
ok. this is just a sitcom at this point
imagine me, feeling accomplished that i finally managed to get to the bus stop i wanted to. after fucking up once on purpose and once on accident, sitting here patiently waiting for my 4th bus of the morning, anD THE FUCKING OUT OF TOWN BUS JUST HAPPILY PASSES THROUGH ME HELLO?? IT COMES HERE TOO?? I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE IMFUCKFBC-
so basically this could have been a 3 bus day i’m ok
i woke up 2 hours ago and finally FINALLY i’m close to getting there
and i’m still gonna be 40 minutes late how fun
oh and btw as i was waiting for my last bus not 1 not 2 but 5 of those GODDAMN out of town busses passed through that stop.
the universe taunts me relentlessly
