my water bottle went to Vermont

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

we saw Lurker yesterday

absolutely no one: me: IT’S FOUR O’CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING

Excited to have three poems from my manuscript, A Tender Wilderness, in @villaineralit.bsky.social today. I wrote these in 2021 when I was reckoning with the various “villains” I’d cast in my life, including myself. Thanks for giving these a home, @charlesjensen.bsky.social 🖤🔪

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up?

Hard to pick just 10, but here are some of my favorites since 2000

Summertime

@austho.bsky.social & I have been on the phone with Xfinity so much this week we’re thinking of asking them to be our third

took advantage of a sunny day

if you, like me, have historically been ambivalent & inconsistent about wearing sunscreen, might i suggest getting many tattoos that you will then want to protect?

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

the artist said i sat really well & another artist in the shop said i “should feel like a badass” given the location 😇😇 i have 30+ tattoos & this is truly one of the toughest spots. i swore so much. also involuntarily laughed at one point because i could feel my bones vibrating from the machine???

Not a twink death and resurrection

the pitt is a very good television program

cracking up at the nearly perfect rendering of my new tattoos left behind on the saniderm

whatever

Starting a literary mag is the “I got bangs” of writer mental health

if you honk at me the second the light turns green, you’re gonna get the unhealed version of me

another day existing in spite of a tyrant who says i don’t

i’ve seen some discourse re Carolyn & Danielle on The Traitors. i obviously concur that it’s just a game, & also would like to acknowledge that Danielle employed explicitly ableist & sanist rhetoric in her takedown of Carolyn — if it’s “just a game,” let’s not perpetuate that kind of shit.

last night’s outfit was cute

i love doing life with you, @austho.bsky.social 💗💗💗

i’m certainly watching 👀👀

went to the gym and, according to the tv, there’s an important sports game happening. who knew.

So many tasty things out there and some people still choose the bottom of Elon’s boot.

I wrote about trans community suicide prevention, including a 4-step guide to peer interventions with links to further resources, for Xtra: xtramagazine.com/health/we-mu...

One day we will wake up to his obituary.

something that’s keeping me (somewhat) grounded as various executive orders are fired off: they are trying to sustain culture war because they are oligarchs and oligarchs do not want class war. since culture war is ideological, emotionally charged, & chaotic, oligarchs use it to distract us

This headline 💀

when will Chappell Roan release “The Giver”? WHEN?

re celebrating the deaths of figures like Anita Bryant and Brian Thompson: if the masses celebrate your death, that says much more about you than the people celebrating. live accordingly.

yesterday in Barnes & Noble i saw Phillip Lopate’s “The Art of the Personal Essay,” the main text for a creative NF course i took in 2005 (“Article & Essay Workshop”). last night i dreamt of taking a class with the instructor of that workshop from almost 20 yrs ago. my brain is without mystery.

Just saw Nosferatu. She just wanted that Nosferussy. Can you blame her?

Speaking as an expert on transphobia and the gender critical movement: Block them. Hide replies. Report them. Do not "debate" them. The fact that they are campaigning so hard against blocking and in favour of debate/their right to harassment should tell you - it serves their interests to engage.

Christmas s‘mores with my love, @jrvrhlms.bsky.social 🥰
