“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.”
—Stephen Fry (via atramentum)

One time I was masturbating in the shower and came so hard that I couldn’t keep in my scream but I knew my brother was in the bedroom next door and that he’d hear and know what I was doing so I quickly transitioned into singing the opening of the Lion King.
Writing is a question of becoming, always incomplete, always in the midst of being formed, and goes beyond the matter of any livable or lived experience. It is a process, that is, a passage of Life that traverses both the livable and the lived. Writing is inseparable from becoming: in writing, one becomes-woman, becomes-animal or vegetable, becomes-molecule to the point of becoming-imperceptible.
—Gilles Deleuze, Essays Critical and Clinical
“No matter where I go, I still end up me.”

US Social Security Administration Changes Policy on Changing Gender
No longer will the Social Security Administration require surgery to change a person’s gender within their database.
Following guidelines put forward by both the federal government for passport changes, and many States’ DMV, individuals can have their gender changed by sending a letter from their medical provider (a sample is shown within the following link) https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110212200
Huge news.
There is nothing better than meeting someone who is actually worth your time. Someone whose boogers you can pick and someone who you don’t have to worry about feeling differently tomorrow. Someone who changes the way you’ve ever felt about anything involved with caring about someone.
