Look, there’s got to be something sociologically meaningful about the fact that almost every single queer person I know under the age of about 35 daydreams about setting up an extended household–a little town or a house or an apartment building or a few houses or a mansion or a commune–and filling it with all their friends so we can all live near one another and take care of each other.

It is a wildly common fantasy. Every time I met a new group of people it pops wistfully up. As I age, folks get more and more determined to try. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail and those of us with mobile careers, like mine, are at something of a disadvantage, but the wistful notion is everywhere. The dream. Having our friends who love us right here, where we can touch them and help them.

I don’t know if it’s just that I live on the internet, but it’s something, gazing into the flickering screen and knowing we’re all daydreaming about a better future for all of us working together to support one another. (Your picture was not posted)
