I'm full of Thai food and listening to people gush about my dear friend, @donnywinter.bsky.social the world might be messed up, but there are bright spots.

Really grateful for found family these days leading into our wedding.

I recently got to do an academic talk (& poetry reading) about how American poet, Theodore Roethke, has influenced my work as a queer, nature poet. I also got to talk about my grandma, LGBTQ+ issues, & eco-activism. You can listen to it on my poetry YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN8z...

As I was saying…

@donnywinter.bsky.social posted something really important about queer identities. youtu.be/_itsGzOATjM

From my Carbon Footprint 5 Years later interview with @alienbuddhapress.bsky.social!

Today marks 5 yrs since my 1st poem collection, Carbon Footprint (Alien Buddha Press) was released. It remains their best selling book, contains Pushcart & Best of the Net noms. In a new interview, I sit down with APB to discuss the book's legacy & share unseen poems from the vault! Links below!

I wrote this poem back in August - but it feels very fitting for the times we're in. This is "The American Influencer." youtu.be/cLu_r29J-Gk?...

Cancel Your Hulu and Disney Plus Accounts

I don't know who needs to hear this: but the LGBTQ+ people in your life are terrified and have been terrified since 2016. Please check in on them.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry. Here's a test for all of them. Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march? Or will they both sides it? Lets see.

Sure would be a great time for all those big Disney A-List talent to take a stand Marvel ABC Comedies Star Wars And so on

This is absolute fascism.

Okay, I've watched all of Sex and the City (super great), the first movie (lovely), the second movie (interesting), now I'm on to watching And Just Like That!

Great video addressing the experimental nature of the Reiwa era and always appreciate seeing some love being thrown to the Polygon Trilogy and Singular Point!

One of my favorite things about Bluesky is that so many of the best people in the Godzilla fandom are here. Folks like @neomonsterisland.com, @donnywinter.bsky.social, @gailsimone.bsky.social... And there always seems to be positive and entertaining discussion going on.

I'm grateful my therapist knows when to remind me that I'm not, in fact, a burden on everyone in my life. Today has been the Monday to rule all Mondays. 😅

That's my girl!! Gaga won Artist of the Year!! ❤️❤️ #vmas

Just went to the restroom (upstairs bathroom that's roof level) & was scared half-to-death when I saw a face in the window. I hid thinking it was someone... then I turned on my flashlight only to find a goddamn raccoon stairing at me in the window.

Random higher ed rant: I am a huge advocate/supporter/user of open educational resources as opposed to traditional textbooks sold by publishers. Today, that was solidified even more for me after I spent 3-4 hours in meetings/on the phone with a major academic publisher & our college bookstore (1/4)

"Cuz' when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive" This song has been stuck in my head ALL DAY. Spooky Season is here! #LadyGaga #DeadDance

Bye bye summer, Gaga is coming to save Halloween! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGaZ...

NEWS: Guess who got to write a blurb for the forthcoming translated novella of THE LUMINOUS FAIRIES AND MOTHRA? Release is in January! ❤️ @uminnpress.bsky.social

If being a totalitarian incel had a mascot, it'd be Charlie Kirk.

Wild times! My department is opening an extra ENG 111 online class for me for all these student overloads. I figured they'd enroll in any class but they specifically requested me.

Got 50 emails from different students vying for 1 seat in an online ENG 111 class. 😅

I love Kpop Demon Hunters so much. ❤️

A new episode of Growing Up With Godzilla is dropping now! @icfammpodcast.bsky.social Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=07n6...

Having to replace my car and our roof in the span of a month has made this summer delightful (two months before our wedding) 😅

Me manifesting the end of my car saga tomorrow.

NEWS: @idwpublishing.com's Godzilla: 70th Anniversary anthology won the Eisner Award for BEST ANTHOLOGY. Congratulations to everyone involved! I'm so thrilled I had some part to play in this book alongside @mattzilla85.bsky.social & Maki Takarada! Beyond grateful. ❤️ Photo by: Jessica Tseang

Had the opportunity to commission the legendary @mattzilla85.bsky.social and I'll treasure this forever! Who says that just because you died and got turned into a giant monster, that you still can't date? That's certainly not stopping Biollante (even if her method isn't exactly the most honest)

How do we feel about a potential sequel to Shin Godzilla? I discuss/react to the news that's been circulating about Toho's sequel consideration. Watch here: youtu.be/Owt8P-d4ApM #ShinGodzilla #Godzilla

I have moments where I need to pinch myself over the amazing community I'm surrounded by in the Godzilla fandom. Thank you all for making the milestone 100th episode of Growing Up With Godzilla amazing. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhqp...

My car picked the "perfect" time to randomly die at 100k miles. The last two weeks have been one big shitshow and nobody will ever convince me that the auto industrial complex isn't a giant capitalistic scam.

I'll never trust Ford again. Had a Ford Focus back in 2014 (brand new), had to trade in for a transmission issue. Now, a decade later, I have a Ford Escape with a head gasket problem that needs to be traded in. This past week has been absolute hell.

Had such a fun time at G-Fest 2025! Check out my recap video: youtu.be/Y5b8I6mXYYE?... ( @yoloswagsenpai.bsky.social, @mattzilla85.bsky.social )
