[Bit]

My brother friended me on facebook. I didn't know what to do at first. I finally made a *pure and virginal* account *SNORT* just for family. I told him that the account he friended me on was for my queer friends, many of whom are pagan, and that I didn't think he'd be comfortable reading it, "so please friend me over here instead".... it worked. I check the family account every few days, write a little, look at everyone's pics.... and I keep the politics, the queerness, and the spirituality (yanno, everything that makes me, me?) on my real account.

The internet has always been my refuge, my place to be real and authentic when my life with my family has been closeted. It was utterly weird to have those two worlds collide.
