Nothing like getting yelled at by the King of Regina to wake you up at the end of the day

Curse you Cineplex and your real butter on the popcorn! Some of us are lactose intolerant!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam. It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.

It’s never not going to be funny to me that my queer awakening was Holtzmann from Ghostbusters, who is so autistic coded, and then I came out and got myself an autistic girlfriend.

Anne Lister recorded in code every single time she kissed or had sex with another woman for decades but sure, autism only existed after Tylenol was invented.

Emily Dickinson was a recluse who wrote almost 1800 poems but sure, autism only existed after Tylenol was invented.

I wake up and I’m angry

If I wear enough eyeliner, no one will know I cried until I couldn’t breathe last night.

Why is it that the only weeks I plan social things to do also happen to coincide with the weeks I am crashing out mental health wise.

A super fun thing is that my estranged brother will randomly remove himself from Facebook group chats from several years ago every three months and I get the notifications and then I get to relive the trauma of being abandoned by my family all over again.

It’s super cool when your own family traumatizes you and then you can never trust anyone again.

It’s after 10 and my girlfriend is driving me home and we stopped at a red light next to two bikers, and one of them had a Halloween bucket over his helmet and a blow up alien on his visor that he turned to look at us and wave.

Never forget the HR professional who told me it wasn’t necessary to have accommodations for an active shooter drill even though I told her my brother had been in an active shooter situation and I had a silent panic attack while watching the film reenactment.

Basically a list of people who don't mind throwing trans people under the bus for some cash they don't even need

this is a lot of people to be deeply disappointed in (and a lot of nonsense casting, not that that matters anywhere near as much)

Why are men.

For some reason, the street my girlfriend drives me home on most nights gets weird after 10 pm. Tonight, we saw a ball cap on the road, and then a second, and then a third, and then a shirt, and another shirt. Just as the trail seemed to turn off from our route, we saw police lights in the distance.

Can vampires eat blood sausage?

On this, the first day of school, I saw a tiny child wearing a MCR Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge hoodie while I was listening to the same album in my car.

Apologies, somehow the original was deleted. I'm undergoing my 3rd urgent, non-elective revision spinal fusion this Oct to replace & extend my hardware. I'd appreciate any help in achieving this goal to ensure I have the resources necessary to recover safely & fully. www.gofundme.com/f/leeanns-3r...

Today’s poem from Anatomical Venus:

kpop demon hunters had no business being that good wtf

Reddit’s AITA posts are keeping critical reading skills alive.

does alexander skarsgard show dong send tweet

That feeling when you cry too much the night before and then get a tension headache the next day and have to go home early 🤕

It's almost time for my annual romantic walk through Spirit Halloween with my girlfriend 🎃 🌙

I don’t actually remember anything I did to “deserve” being spanked. But I remember the spankings.

It's a weird feeling to realize that the reason you were spanked by your parents in a very specific way (wooden spoon, bare bum, "calmly"), which you once thought was universal because it was so common in the Christian circles in which you were raised, was informed by one man, who has now died.

I saw a production of Midsummer Night’s Dream recently where Lysander and Hermia were portrayed as a lesbian couple. I was so surprised & moved esp when Hermia’s father objects to their marriage. I’ve never seen a queered Shakespeare production before and it was so perfect & meant so much to me.

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

Hey cis white women, I’m gonna need your attention please. Listen up real quick. Lean in a little. DON’T FUCKING TOUCH PPL WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. DON’T TOUCH, DON’T HUG, DON’T KISS, DO NOT FONDLE, JUST FUCKING DON’T ALRIGHT. Ok good, glad we got that out of the way.

Another poem from Anatomical Venus about one of my favourite anatomical models, the beauchene skull. DYK they used to put dried peas inside a skull and then soak them so they would expand & “explode” the bones apart from the inside? Anyway, thought that was the perfect metaphor for a migraine.

Got IDed at a pizza restaurant and I’m nearly double the legal age 😂😂😂

NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS MICROSOFT.

American Eagle trying so hard to get my business again by sending discount codes. No thank you.

A dear friend asked me if I ever use ChatGPT for research and I had to tell them I never do because the info isn’t reliable and since it doesn’t cite sources the info is no use to me even if it’s true.

Disappointing statement from the Polari Prize. The inviolable right of our trans & non-binary siblings to live safely, without fear, abuse or discrimination is not a matter for debate, nor "a substantive issue" & you cannot "hold a different position” You cannot “both sides” people’s right to exist

Me to certain local orgs: whyyy do you have three different designs to promote the same event?

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Today I discovered that my hear me out is the goldfish from Pinocchio.

Have a poem, Blue Sky. I feel like we need it. 🌌

I am ready for the Chappell Roan-led queer takeover of Saskatchewan. We've got cheap real estate, good internet, lots of space for dogs, tons of good pastries, a surprisingly robust queer poetry scene... Come on everyone, move here like the line in the song!

Art and the Perpetual Hole a journal comic about surviving the horrors I love you (pages 1-3 of 11)

That moment when a salary for a previous job is still the same as it was when you did it TEN YEARS ago.

Someone leak it please! I really want to watch this doc!

Watching Hunting Wives feels like the show is trying to trick sapphics into watching MAGA content.

I’ve been on a writing retreat at a monastery and it’s the last day and one of the women came up to me and told me how much they love all the dresses and skirts I wear and how feminine it is compared to slacks. Little does she know how Femme I am 😂 💅🏻 🏳️‍🌈

Submitting poems be like, I give you my weird.

Sometimes I write something and it sounds so familiar that I wonder if I've read it somewhere before and then I try googling it and can't find it and I just cross my fingers that I'm not accidentally stealing lines from other authors without at least giving credit.
