Things I Hold To Be True (Pride Edition)

Here are few bulleted items that I wanted to pull out from my brain and share with a larger audience. This list is by no means exhaustive given how much my brain likes to generate thoughts like TV static.

  • As long as you are not encroaching on someone else’s happiness (within reason), you should be free do do as you like to make sure your happiness is maintained.
  • [something of a hot-take because I’m not personally a fan of the gauche, but] If you need to get your jollies off in a park during a celebration for the happiness, go for it.
  • Pride is not a one-day ticket item; nor is it just a month-long celebration — it is a life-long commitment to yourself and to those around you, and should be treated as such. Pride 365.
  • Fuck corporations that shill to any kind of group; they have no interest in you as a person, only the money that you bring to the table. And I refuse to bring any.
  • Be gay, do crimes. Because you might as well give them what they want anyway.
  • We need to normalize belonging to a village, not just a tribe — everyone needs a helping hand along the way. EVERY. FUCKING. ONE. And none of us know what the others around us are going through.
  • We all need to work on our communications skills. And this is definitely a ‘hits home’ bullet point as needs (self) improvement.
