the Wild West stagecoach episode of Warrior deserved an Emmy and that’s all I have to say about it

I keep forgetting that I have a lifetime before me—that the rest of my twenties will be an echoed song; that my thirties will speak of new beginnings and fresh starts; that I’ll still whisper your name when I’m forty because you never made it that far; that you will be a story I skip over in my fifties; that my sixties will have some type of wisdom I can’t fathom now, acceptance, hopefully; that my seventies will start the projected decline and I’ll find peace, maybe, someday, with this cruel circle; that my eighties, if willed by the universe, will be met with anticipation to see your face again; and by god, if I make it to ninety, I will be stuttering over all the wonderful highs and lows I want to share with you once we met again, my lovely lost friend.
the fact that i am constantly saying strange and unpleasant things is just part of my charm

“Three hours I lay awake, your shoulder kissing my shoulder. Three hours I stared at the window, loving you, then turned toward your ear and whispered that I had to go.”
Remembering Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poet W. S. Merwin
The former U.S. poet laureate, who died March 15, was a prolific writer as well as a conservationist and a conscientious objector during World War II. He spoke to Fresh Air in 2008.

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no.
read it again and again
Understand that this applies even to non-sexual situations. Women are more likely to be asked for favors from coworkers. Regular “can you file this for me” / “can you cover my shift” / “can you finish up this paperwork” workplace favors. Men are less likely to return those favors. Women are more likely to be seen as “difficult to work with” if they refuse to do favors when requested. Being viewed as ungenerous has negative social and professional consequences.
So yes, even gay men benefit. All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt, not just physically, but also socially and professionally, for saying no to anything at all.
