Kicking it off with a little humor
- David Karp: Thank you, Mr. President, for inviting Tumblr to your house.
- President Obama: Well, it's a rental house.
this post is for, like, three of you but I had to bring it over for the merlintuals
I want to talk to you. Without speaking.
QUEER (2024) dir. Luca Guadagnino
“In the dark theater Lee could feel his body pull towards Allerton, an amoeboid protoplasmic projection, straining with a blind worm hunger to enter the other’s body, to breathe with his lungs, see with his eyes, learn the feel of his viscera and genitals. Allerton shifted in his seat. Lee felt a sharp twinge, a strain or dislocation of the spirit. His eyes ached. He took off his glasses and ran his hand over his closed eyes.” —William S. Burroughs, “Queer”, 1985
