sunday thoughts
From what I recall, the first time I saw 'rainbow capitalism' from a big brand was this image from Oreo in 2012.
It created a lot of controversy. Calls for boycotts and such. But Oreo didn't take it down. They were unapologetic and didn't try to appease the homophobes or backtrack.
And I know this sounds weird, but it was like a shift. Proof that public opinion or acceptance of queerness was widespread enough for a company to consider it profitable.
been thinking a lot about anticipatory grief lately. i love you so much that i know losing you will devastate me. i haven't lost you yet but i already miss you. we still have time, but it won't be enough. i think about what i would say at your funeral, and say some of it to you now cause i need you to know how loved you are before you go. you will go where i cannot follow, but you will never really leave me. it won't make it hurt less but it is a part of healing somehow.
this is actually abt me preparing to lose my grandma, but it can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. grief exists everywhere u look, because love exists everywhere.
of the many flavors of grief i’ve tasted losing someone, anticipatory grief is the gentlest. it dilates time. grief’s first bloom spreads when you can still share love. in the moment it feels crushing, impossible. when the thorns of it peel you down to your quick it seems so bitter. but you pass through it, hold close your love, say goodbye, and warm in her arms, grace holds you.

That special feeling you get when you bump into another trans person in the wild :)
