my legal name change anniversary was last week (7 years legally! 9+ years socially!). coming out as nonbinary + changing my name & pronouns saved my life. trans rights or else. #tdov

Trans Day of Visibility is tomorrow. #TDOV #ProtectTheDolls

allergies been kicking my ass for a week

One time I was trying to mix poetry with my limited knowledge of construction & manufacturing & I thought that “this rust rating is frustrating” would make a good line

friday

Troops are being sent to yet another war no one believes in and when they come home, there will be no services for them. This is going to be very bad for everyone.

wednesday

drink less water. clench your jaw. worsen your posture. this is the time of monsters

They can at least make sure the lists they populate don’t include hotlines who will send police to your house w out consent. The ppl who share lists come across as disingenuous and performative if they have not personally vetted those resources to make sure they are safe for us to even call.

Suicide prevention is not telling suicidal people to call a number for cops to take them to the psych ward. It’s being community for people. People suffer alone. You abandon your sad & mentally ill & lonely friends because they bum you out. We’re the ones with the duty of caring for each other.

flat assed people should unionize

when i got this tattoo a year ago, i didn’t consider how my tummy hair would bisect this little dandy’s face lol

People who don't cook always got an idea about what you should be cooking 😭

If blue / were not blue how could love be love. C.D. Wright

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

my upper and bottom rows of teeth touched when i was eating a piece of toast just now. might have to throw my whole mouth out.

Post the cover of a book you love from the ‘90s. (Any century.) #booksky #bookchallenge

It's about protecting women and girls in sports, y'know

been fucking around with contrast & saturation

a few contenders: (1) shared a sex poem about a short-lived ex-situationship in a poetry workshop wherein said ex-situationship was a classmate (2) hit a parked car pulling into a parking spot (3) let a situationship move in with me after 3 weeks of dating when i was suicidal

Man, it’s so depressing watching some people at work just cede all their thinking over to the plagiarism engine.

if i post a photo like this, will you read some of my writing? linktr.ee/jriverhelms

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

my love @austho.bsky.social frequently misquotes lyrics, movie lines, poems, etc — sometimes jokingly, sometimes in earnest. here’s one of my favorites: two shoes. for sale. never worn. baby.

wish we could add songs to posts here. if i could, i’d add “Total Trash” by Sonic Youth to this one.

Asking for body cams for ICE is like staring at a burning barn and suggesting the doors be painted

“what are the creatures pronouns” - me in a sci-fi movie

lately

a delightful stroll in the park whilst listening to For Emma, Forever Ago

paul mescal described himself as a “winter boy” in an interview with GQ & i immediately thought of “you say you’re a winter bitch / but summer’s in your blood” from the boygenius song “true blue” and i’m sure that line is not about him, though phoebe bridgers is of course a writer on that song

I mean it

“i’m cooked” is a descendent of “stick a fork in me,” right?

you know what i mean?
