Happy gender poem day :)

It's true!! This poem has a lot of accolades :')))

I've been telling everyone in my life that I'm buying them this shirt for Christmas and it's bringing me a lot of unadulterated joy

Hello I have a job interview tomorrow pls send good vibes I am NERVOUS

❤️❤️❤️

Your twenties are for wasting your twenties

ICYMI :)

my family thinks i pass as straight should i start voguing in front of them

A THING I WROTE IS OUT TODAY IN @earrat.com !!! WOW! I love to write about being gay but I've never written about a man's beefy arms and thighs before. certainly never linked it to US History. breaking some ground so it's an honor to share it :') btw I had a crush on this APUSH teacher too LOL

And what if I said it's out in @poetjohncompton.bsky.social's cataloguing poetry magazine :) check it out!!! substack.com/home/post/p-... also the rainforest cafe in menlo park mall has permanently closed since writing this, rip to a real one </3

Writing about my relationship to gender is so fun because I'm always like "it's buried treasure. it's also a landmine. it also means nothing to me. it's the only thing i think about"

Good afternoon friends!! I have two pieces out in @corporeallitmag.bsky.social about dry eye disease and uhh The Fear of Aging. Stuff like that. Oooooh you wanna read them so bad ⏱️😵‍💫⏱️

guys my mom just had a sitcom level fuckup talking mad shit on a coworker she thought she properly hung up the phone with LOOOOOOOOOOL

first energy drink in a year is motivating me to do a lot rn and I'm ngl this sets a horrible precedent LOL

big week coming up for people who love to share my writing (me)

my mom keeps shouting obscenities from the living room and I keep thinking something bad happened but she's just throwing at gin rummy on Facebook LMAO

I should be wearing a collar that sends an electric shock each time I check my email more than once in a half hour

God just put a whole ass spider cricket on my bed (and then on my leg 🙂) instead of asking me if I'd rather just be killed outright. Which I would've said yes to

🌻Research participation opportunity for queer people with disabilities🌻 Volume One of our magazine will feature a discussion about the intersectionality between disability and queerness in forming identity based on survey responses. (1/2)

this is actually how it feels to be going through it in many ways but not know how to properly vent it through your art

Awake at 2:30am thinking deeply about how to strengthen and build interpersonal connections and change my life so that I can wake up in 7 hours and do the bare minimum all day

OCD is like a blind bag but instead of getting a Calico Critter you either stare at and photograph your hairline for 3 hours or sit on your bed for 3 hours and think really hard until you're satisfyingly convinced that you're not evil

Gender is a performance and it's the school play. Mom and dad are recording me, they are so proud of their Boy. I'm stammering at the audience, pants fully pissed, panic attacking. Everyone is endeared regardless. "Such a sweet Boy. He is not good at performing, though." sorry what's the bit

Had the self-control to walk away from the fridge without grabbing a diet coke but my instinct was to say "I want aspartame so baaaad" as I did it — am I cooked

God just put a whole ass roach on my bed instead of asking me if I'd rather just be killed outright. Which I would have said yes to

Being obliterated by OCD but it's undoing my writer's block lmaoooo

Currently rejectionmaxxing but I'm also submissionmaxxing at a faster pace so surely good news is coming my way

Awake at almost 3am thinking about the mspaint tier list I made last year ranking cereal mascots based on how much gender envy they elicited from me

Lately when I get a big lull in acceptances or get multiple declines in a day or so I started saying that I'm just "rejectionmaxxing" now to get big wins down the line and it has been legitimately helpful to my mentality LMAOO

How beautiful to be living in the same timeline as ABBA

FLIGHT DELAYED AGAIN Brother if I get there and it gets cancelled again I will be so fuckin sad LMAOOO

new fear of my flight being cancelled two days in a row has been unlocked LMAO I am obsessively checking the weather cross your fingers for me because if it storms again and I have to find a way back home again I will actually explode into dust

The fact that it costs you money to get your flight cancelled bc you have to find your fuckin way back home and back to... fucking crazy work. I'm so agitated LMAO

I think we should establish a given day of the year where everyone who shoots fireworks on the 4th gets party poppers popped in their ears as punishment

A quick round of applause for this birthday gift @beeboomachine.bsky.social got me LMAO If your SNES is broken do NOT hmu. Hit up the number on my t-shirt

Thinking about the one time I ended a Discord call with my friend because I had a stomachache but I told her I "needed tummy time," completely forgetting the newborn baby context of the phrase "sorry I gotta hop off vc or the shape of my skull will deform a little bit 😞 googoo gaga btw"

My favorite part about re-entering therapy is that instead of looking in the mirror and feeling completely emotionally destroyed by the passage of time, I look in the mirror, feel completely emotionally destroyed by the passage of time, and go "damn... Wednesday's gonna be cathartic"

SELFIE CHECKPOINT, I TAKE ONE LIKE ONCE A YEAR Also an existence checkpoint (I turned 28 on Wednesday)

Starting to hit that I'm almost 28, and I'm getting sad about it!!! Birthdays better be fun again when I'm 30 bro I swear

Another round of my favorite game, "how do I submit anything to anywhere when the only pieces of writing I don't hate are ones that ought to complicate a personal relationship if published?" 😭😭 I need to start writing about fictional scenarios

🪿POETRY🪿 When Steven sent this poem back in January for SGP4 I knew we had found our 1st piece for Pride <3 ty 4 letting us hoard! I FIRST CAME OUT TO MY NINTENDO 3DS by @stevencw.bsky.social “I don’t remember giving birth, only late night parallel play…” sillygoosepress.com/pride-unedit...

Good morning to everyone who ever used video games to express queerly while in the closet s/o to @crows-nest.bsky.social for the being the best person I could've ever "I married the male character as a joke" at Check out the whole issue! Shoutouts to gay people sillygoosepress.com/pride-unedit...

My body no longer permits being a person who stays up for hours after midnight and I very highkey miss it,,,, 3am, someday we will meet again,,,,,

Stoked!! Very excited to share my piece about queer expression, friendship, a yellow 2013 Chevrolet Spark, and Fire Emblem: Awakening for the Nintendo 3DS

Guys pride month is working I think I'm even gayer than I was yesterday

I put the song "Boyish" by Japanese Breakfast on literally every playlist I make because it's been over 5 years since I first heard it and every time she sings this part I want to start clapping because how will I ever write something this punchy, clever, tongue-in-cheek, and devastating

Lately I've been feeling very inspired in my writing by my friends' shitty family members <3 stop being mean to my pals I'll kill* you *talk shit about you in very symbolic terms and never in my life present it to you

Just remembered how last year I had this mannerism where if I was standing idly in conversation and didn't know what to do with my hands or body I would just start cotton-eyed joe'ing in place and I think that was so becoming of me to have done

Looking for Cricket 2025
