“Ernest Hemingway would have died rather than have syntax. Or semicolons. I use a whole lot of half-assed semicolons; there was one of them just now; that was a semicolon after “semicolons,” and another one after “now.” And another thing. Ernest Hemingway would have died rather than get old. And he did. He shot himself. A short sentence. Anything rather than a long sentence, a life sentence. Death sentences are short and very, very manly. Life sentences aren’t. They go on and on, all full of syntax and qualifying clauses and confusing references and getting old. And that brings up the real proof of what a mess I have made of being a man.”

Even the most out, visible, confident, comfortable lgbt person sometimes deals with internalized homophobia/transphobia and you should absolutely remind your lgbt friends & lovers that you think they’re wonderful and beautiful for their gender nonconformity, not just in spite of it

Hannah Gadsby’s “Nanette” is one of the most powerful single hours of anything I’ve ever seen. I think it should be required viewing for all humans, or at least hetero, cis, males such as myself. If you need some set up: Hannah is a comedian leaving comedy and this is her final performance — but it feels like the start of something big. *Trigger warning for emotionally intense discussion of sexual violence.
