  • Baby made a video message for me, among other things, where she uplifts me and expresses strongly how much she loves me as her black and trans partner. She has been comforting me a lot as my internalized bigotry has been cranked to 11 lately.

    As far as “work” goes, I relate. I’m getting more done, and I’m racking up a lot of funds to move out of my current residence with racist and queerphobic roommates soon. Last week alone, I made over double of what I’d normally make with my typical work routine. It’s amazing how wanting to move very far away from awful people can make you so determined.

    Neil kind of did, though. He was more into the Randian shit early on, but he definitely admitted to getting far more iffy about it.

    Rolling Stone asked Peart, “Do [Ayn Rand’s] words still speak to you?” He responded:

    Oh, no. That was 40 years ago. But it was important to me at the time in a transition of finding myself and having faith that what I believed was worthwhile. I had come up about that moral attitude about music, and then in my late teens I moved to England to seek fame and fortune and all that, and I was kind of stunned by the cynicism and the factory-like atmosphere of the music world over there and it shook me. I’m thinking, “Am I wrong? Am I stupid and naïve? This is the way that everybody does everything and, had I better get with the program?”
