I used to hate poetry before Dead Poets Society, it made me feel ways I wasn’t sure I wanted to feel just yet.

Now I read poetry like I need to breathe.

Whether it’s things I relate to or not, sad, happy, sexual, friendly, about death, or a life starting. Homosexuality, religion, or just waking up in the middle of the night after a bad dream.

Dead Poets Society changed my life and my view on lots of things, poetry being one.

when i tell my friends my favorite movie is dead poets society they're always like "haha ur so pretentious" and it's like no. i do not like it bc i'm pretentious (i am a bit but that's besides the point). i like it because i'm queer, i'm a bad poet, an anxious teenager, a trans guy, an escapist, an english major, a (hopefully) future teacher, an actor, a rebell. i love it because it makes me feel alive. if someone truly wanted to understand me, they would have to watch and understand the movie, because to me it's more than just pretentious bullshit. it makes me feel seen.

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

It‘s scary to see how very important european petitions get no visibility whatsoever. We had a basic income petition last year which failed because not enough people knew about it. Now we have a „tax the rich“ one that only lasts until october this year and only has around 250k out of 1 mio. signings.

Most EU people go through their every day life w/o knowing about them. There are no ads, no marketing…nothing. I know that costs money though one might think important petitions that lead to a better and progressive life would be supported by the government or ministries in some way, but nooooo

And why should they? It’s petitions that would help out the poor and middle class, but endanger capitalism and their exploitation, sooo: government and business leads for example.

So here the link for those who are interested:
