An entry from my journal: 12/31/2000.

12/31/00 (2000)

What is sacred to me now:

Church to me is Deva’s without the old men.

Chuck Maylen dancing away there.

Church is an Irish at the twin Peaks, in sighlence, marveling at our common parade.

My T shirts and my coffee mugs tell a tale of things I love.

Of what is sacred..Not sacred. Protected. Not exposed.

Weatherstone’s Coffee House T shirt and Pergollesie Coffee House Coffee mug this am.

The Twin Peaks bar has large plate glass windows that look out onto Castro Street. Gay and bohemian mecca.

Dad’s red sweat pants.

Jim’s white sweat Sox.

Roller pen.

“Something more” my new book.

White wine.

Queer search.

Stomach at peace.

My morning reads.

My Irish coffee noon garden sojourns.

Snuggling on the couch in the evening with HB (Jim).

Drawing a summer garden.

Walking the great Hilton property.

A tarot throw

A rune reading

Fountains and the fire (in the fire place)

Dad’s things.

End of entry

Note:

Deva’s was a restaurant in Modesto, California in 2000.

Chuck Maylen was a lawyer friend who died in September 2000, 3 weeks before my father died.

I think Deva’s had a copy of a Van Gough or Monet painting in which a couple is dancing and the man in the painting looked like Chuck.

Weatherstone’s was a coffee house in Sacramento , California I used to write in

Pergelesie’s was a coffee house in Santa Cruz, California.

Unsure what Queer search was

“Stomach at peace” refers to alcohol related stomach distress I frequently suffered from.

My partner the was Jim Wentzel. I met him at the Twin Peaks bar in San Fransisco May10,1997.

We bought a house together in Modesto.

He bought a second house on Hilton Ave about t a mile from our house. It set on 3 /4 of an acre.

We were together until Jim’s unexpected death November 9, 2009. He died in our house of alcohol related liver failure.

I have studied Runes and Tarot for over 30 years now.

I frickin love the Mandalorians having a talking piece for debates. it just brings me so much joy

like it’s giving 5th grade classroom and i love them for that

#also the fact that said talking piece is the armorer’s forging hammer #possibly implying that a debate got heated and she just grabbed the closest thing to her and said whoever has this gets to talk okay class?#y’all gotta honor the sacred talking piece #star wars #the mandalorian #the mandalorian season 3 #the mandalorian spoilers #din djarin #the armorer #paz vizsla

what people dont understand is that the way arin is special is bc he's. just a guy. just a kid who's a ninja fan, that somehow managed to learn spinjitzu entirely by himself. no official training, no nothing bro, just watching his idols do their things and he just. copies them. and he somehow succeeded. he doesn't need any powers, he doesn't need to be a reincarnation of the fsm, he's special just like that

#this is just my opinion ofc you absolutely do not need to agree #but in my pov I dont really enjoy the idea of him having powers #like him learning spinjitzu which is something sacred entirely by himself is enough if they want him to be special #my guy had no master #like look at him go just using his spinjitzu!! It by itself is already his powers #did u not see him spinjitzu that plate in pt2 #and whatever that thing was in ep3 #he's already special #and is having so much fun #ninjago #ninjago arin #ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising spoilers #levi's ted talks

Thinking about Disco Elysium and stars. Something about communal experience and simultaneous isolation, hope and idealism, fear and beauty and terror and burning. The inherent horror in the vast romantic starscape of the sky, the melancholy and loneliness inherent in the untold distance, a communal experience of something too enormous to fathom. Stars bear witness to humanity, to the millions of tiny people crawling on the face of Elysium. They watch the people, and the people watch back, and make up stories about the stars. Stars symbolise love, hope, something unreachable and unattainable.

The way that the light of the stars reaches every single being in Elysium, from human to phasmid, but no matter how far it reaches it is still a cold and distant glow, always on the verge of going out. A moral brilliance, a holy light to strive towards, something always at risk of burning out, but there's a dichotomy too. A duality between the stars as brutal unfeeling observers, moralists even, like the aerostatics flying overhead, tiny dying lights that watch impassively over every terrible thing in the world, and the flipside; stars as the burning kernels of hope, furious burning flames that parallel Harry and his golden-orange forest fire nature. Stars as the light of communism, the star-and-antlers. They're hope and dreams- a million years in the stars. Rockstars and superstars. The light of a brighter future (however short-term that future might be) coming towards them at the end of the tunnel. It makes me think of Sacred and Terrible Air and the light pollution in Vassa- ending light pollution as the world ends. "You may laugh at this, but in the evening, when the big world in the distance swells into a bloody maelstrom, families come out into the street in Vaasa and are insignificant together. Only distant explosions disturb the deep peace of the winter night, its flawless starry sky. Everyone watches, heads tilted back." The stars are a shared experience. Something that everyone watches, insignificant together, when there's nothing more that can be done. Light in the face of darkness, community in the face of inevitability. Togetherness. The stars are there in the church with the ravers. They're there watching Harry and Kim together. Insignificant together. In dark times, should the stars also go out?

#i'm collecting quotes for another thing and i just like all of these together idk #disco elysium #de rambling #my brain is so full of cotton wool rn so sorry if this is. garbled sddjjdsk #long post #i am really sorry for the incessant longposts #sacred and terrible air spoilers #pjõl spoilers #i guess? also very much oversimplifying there #i just. idk. i have feelings about that bit #it's the team ibex translation btw #stars manage to encapsulate both moralism and communism lol- inaction+distant observation versus fire and passion and feeling

yknow there’s so much bad shit out there in the world and so much of it is aimed at people like me and i spend so much of my time trying to understand it and document it and make sense of it but sometimes. sometimes i hear someone singing a duet with their pre-t voice and the harmonies are breathtaking and i just want to open my bedroom window and scream to the cars driving by that I LOVE US I LOVE US GOD I FUCKING LOVE US

#transmasculinity is so beautiful and sacred and irreplaceable and life giving and deeply worth protecting #seeing the joy and expression and care that flows out of and between us is the most important thing in the world to me #the second we lose sight of that i think we’re all fucked #you have to always always love the thing you’re protecting more than you hate the people you’re protecting it from #and i cannot express how much i love us and the ways we live our lives #trans man positivity #transmasc positivity #trans men #transmascs

one thing ig u have to respect twitter for is they will really let "lets all leave Twitter" trend for 14 days straight. if i were musk the first thing id ask is, can we make the trending page show some other trends instead. just blacklist "tumblr" "mastodon" from trending please

#it's weird right? why arent they doing that #there's sponsored trending things so its not like Twitter trends are a sacred untouched space

the most affective thing I've ever watched on climate change was comedian Jordan Klepper's episode on the L'eau Est La Vie water protectors in Louisiana. Not because it was well put together or terribly comprehensive (there's a documentary that does it better) but because it was the first time I'd seen a public figure follow in activists' footsteps---and be scared so absolutely shitless, he can't quite hide it from the cameras.

these days, Klepper goes to the big political rallies and smirks and jokes, and though that can be fun to watch---it just isn't the same.

#I don't say this with disdain; I know exactly how brave I can be #and I am probably closer to klepper than I want to admit. (maybe not even that brave; you don't see me in a boat in the dark.)#but that episode really did illuminate things. it highlighted how incredible these people are; that absolute clarity of purpose #meted with righteous anger and not a lack of fear but a devotion that eclipses it.#sacred. I think it's sacred.#it's been 5 years and I still think about that episode.
