Under My Spell.: whoever wrote that they don't approve of homosexual relationships because its "an abomination according to the bible"... → lovespell-.tumblr.com

Dr. Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice
to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as
an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according
to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The

Red Letter Year

new years eve we dropped mushrooms
and danced around the house
making music with everything that we found
incantation replaced resolution
and we vowed to allow each perfection
that we could be
and the goddesses sent word
that this would be a red letter year
they didn’t mention how much shit was gonna change around here
it’s just as well we weren’t swollen with unfocused dread
we had visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads
dancing in our heads


first you go under and then coming up gives you bends
and when you break the surface
and all you see is your friends
so you grab your purple crayon
and flesh out the picture behind
and finally the whole world is made of one unbroken line
one unbroken line


and when you wake up sick as a dog
with dull eyes and really bad hair
standing under a lit sign with the words on air
and the water is rising
it’s coming in everywhere
just remember you are there
you’re always, always there.


and representing the white race
a man with a monkey for a face
is flying over in his helicopter
whistling dixie and playing dumb


in a town that might put a gun to your throat
or rip the roof right off your place
there’s a mold crawling up the walls
and falling asleep in your lungs
and you and i both know how to drink some
we will always have work in this town
besides the police are stationed at the bridge
and they’re preventing passage to higher ground


so let’s pull up some barstools
and get ourselves a ringside seat
for one unnerving moment
they’re gonna show the truth on TV

“I was really not a big fan of anything with wings, but I’m sure that this is just because I’m afraid of them getting in my hair, or on me, or up my nose, or something like that. But one time there was a bee in my apartment and it was a one room apartment, my bed just pulled out from the wall, and so it was the bedroom at night and I would just push it back in during the day and it was the living room. So I was sitting in my living room slash bedroom and this bee flew in the window and I panicked. I was all like, ‘Ahhh!’ and went running into the bathroom and then closed the door. I was all like, ‘Ahhh’, and then I was like ‘Well fuck, I’m in the bathroom, what am I going to do in here?’ So I just was like, ‘I have to go out and get the bee.’ So I opened the door and I peeked out. And I could hear the bee, it was fucking big, it was probably the size of my fist. It was like ‘bzzz’, and was just like bumping into shit and I was like ‘it’s come into my apartment to die.’ It was like big, and full and slow, and it was going to die. So I closed the door, and I was all like ‘Fuck, what am I going to do?’ And the bathroom was, like there was four stairs up into the bathroom and then there was a bench, it was a rad bathroom and so I basically came up with this plan because I was so afraid of the bee, I was like it’s gonna have to fly out the window so I basically opened up the door, ran and threw open another window, and then ran back into the bathroom. And I waited like three minutes, and then I opened the door and it was still out there and so I ran out and grabbed my guitar. And I wrote a song and waited for the bee to die. I know this sounds totally insane, but it was a really big bee. And I don’t know if I’m allergic. I didn’t want to die alone in my weird creepy bachelor apartment and I’d just been dumped and I was like, ‘I don’t wanna die.’ I don’t wanna get a bee sting and everybody go, ‘Yeah, she died of a broken heart.’ but really it was a bee sting.” —Tegan Quin (via steelinmypalm)
