💕 Queer Love in History: Carey and Venera 💕
“Carey and Venera met at a party on July 17, 1939 in New York, New York. Carey thought Venera was stylish and Venera found Carey funny. After a year of dating, they bought a home together. They kept their relationship a secret from everyone besides their closest friends and family for nearly 60 years out of fear of how others would react.
In 1996, they registered as domestic partners in New York City because they wanted to finally tell the world about their life together. In the early 2000s, they left their New York home of 60 years to retire in Florida. There, they became active in the LGBTQ+ community. They spent their free time traveling the world, going on gay cruises, playing poker with friends, and caring for their pet monkey.
In a 2004 interview with Rick Wagner, Carey said their plans for the future were to be together forever. She said she hoped they would die together, as selfish as it may seem.”

oh come on thatβs funny
My problem is that while I love waking up early, I also fucking hate going to bed early. It’s unreasonable, 24 hours is simply not enough time to get everything done each day. I’m a busy man with plenty to do, I should be allowed to go to bed at 2 am and wake up at 5 am and get a solid 8 hours of sleep in the middle. Like why is that too much to ask.
