the feeling that i get when it is starting to get light and i haven’t gone to sleep yet, which is a jangly off-kilter vague impending sense of doom feeling, except it’s been going on since i woke up today. my theory is that i have to stay up til it gets light out to make it go away. is this how life works

I bet if people went around telling other people that farts were an acquired taste like wine or cheese that people would get into it

I asked a bunch of people I really liked to send me things they really liked, and then I put it up on NewHive. It features movies, GIFs, songs, writing, pictures, etc. loved and made by Amanda Noa, Ana Carrete, Anna Prushinskaya, Carabella Sands, Elizabeth Ellen, Melissa Broder, Mira Gonzalez, Penny Goring, Sarah Rose Etter, and xTx. It’s amazing, and they are too.

i love it when EE threatens to kill me
i don’t understand how civil coping mechanisms is putting out so many books all of a sudden. i suspect it has something to do with their clever spelling of catalog with a(n) ‘u’ and a(n) ‘e’. also, is dying before forty the new “27 club” or are we just going to keep moving up ‘dying young’ by a decade until all the alt lit kids die in their 80s w white lighters clutched in their palms?
i can’t wait til juliet escoria’s black cloud comes out of this catalogue. then i’m going to kill her so she can die young.

Tonight I went out to have sushi with my mom. During dinner, we were talking about money, and how I didn’t really have any, and how I needed to fix my car and pay for my move and save up enough money so that I could make up for the gap for employment, and also fly myself up to Portland and SF in order to do readings. My mom shook her head and laughed at one point. I asked her why, and she said, “I just don’t understand how you’re not more concerned about money. If I were you, I would want to make enough money to do the things I wanted to do.”
I got really upset. It’s a touchy subject for me: Money. I’ve never really had any. This year I made more money than I ever had in my life, and guess what — it still wasn’t much. It’s something I’ve argued with myself over a whole bunch: because I believe I have “earning potential,” but I also prefer to be poor and relatively happy over being comfortable and employed full-time and unhappy. I’ve often felt guilty about the fact that I am (however old I am at the time) and can barely support myself. But whenever I start to really freak out about it, I think about the important things: Love (romantic, familial, friendships), Making Things, Feeling Things, Not Dying. Money just isn’t on that list.
[Side note: Isn’t it kind of sad that “not dying” has to be one of my priorities? Like, I feel for most people this is simply a given. Nope, not for ole Big J. For Big J, “not dying” is something you have to work for, lol lol lol, someone sucks at life.]
My mom didn’t want me to be upset. She truly hadn’t meant to upset me and I saw that, so I calmed down. She explained that she hadn’t meant what she’d said as a criticism — she said she had said it out of wonder. That she is prone to being afraid of things and therefore erring on the side of caution. That she was proud of me for doing what I wanted, for taking risks and pursuing something difficult. I told her that whenever I freak out over stuff, I think about Tim Gunn on Project Runway saying “Make it work!”, and she liked that. Funny that a stupid reality show gave me a motto to live by.
