Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Some of you kids have been playing "Killing in the Name" on Guitar Hero since 2006 and still grew up to vote for fascists.

Have you taken your Tylenol today? 🩵

I'm so tired of sharing a planet with people who only dream of escaping from it, who treat the earth as fundamentally evil and disposable. So fucking sad.

The call is coming from inside the house, folks.

You all love to blame victims all the time until it's an American Nazi literally dying from the kind of violence he endorsed and the instruments of warfare he worshipped. Weird.

Too many of you lamenting "political violence" today have been silent about Gaza.

What are the known Zionist literary magazines/journals? I've taken The Atlantic, Guernica, and Gulf Coast off my submission list, but are there others?

I'm starting a substack because blogs are back??

Hey friends. My husband is looking for data science jobs in Los Angeles as we prepare to move out west in a couple months. If you have any leads, I'll pass them along to him. Thanks!

What is with gay men's obsession with "straight" men? Why are we so preoccupied with protecting men who fuck us and would never ever admit to loving us?

Since leaving Twitter and the dip in my presence on Bluesky, I've lost the urge to publish every intrusive and half-interesting thought that comes to mind with no consideration of the consequences. I miss when the primary cause of chaos and controversy in my life was just myself and not Nazis.

If anyone is in Margate tomorrow, I’m having a little exhibition of my “Truck Stop Confidential” print drop in Hoffs! Lunch party at 7pm with a free drink and DJ! Hopefully see you there!

Please stop wishing people who set off fireworks would lose a limb. We, the disability delegation, don’t want them 😭

Something about America's poor and disabled being sentenced to a slow death in the coming years is making it difficult to enjoy hot dogs and fireworks.

Find people. Start making connections. Get comfortable with closeness. Be familiar. Be shameless. Join groups. Attend events. Write emails. Send messages. Introduce yourself constantly. Ask to be introduced to others. Invite yourself wherever you can. Demand access. Demand a presence. Show up.

They dream of the annihilation of the poor, disabled, and most vulnerable in our country. This is Nazism.

HEY. A trillion dollar cut to Medicaid has passed the Senate. One. Trillion. $1,000,000,000,000. I need you to call or write to your Congressional Representatives. If you do not know how to do this, message me.

People are going to die. Call. Your. Senators.

PLEASE contact your senators!!!!

War is for dreamless, heartless people.

How have so many of us been convinced that all of these beautifully animated and illustrated films, films with perspective and personality, films literally made by hand, aren't good enough as they are? That turning them into sterile, heartless, ugly imitations is an improvement?

I went from "proper otter" to "werewolf dad" in just a couple of years. Wild.

From our partners at Palestinian Youth Movement 🇵🇸ANTI-GENOCIDE PLEDGE:

one of my strongest personal disability justice feelings is that I really prefer people to say mental illness and not mental health when what they are talking about is mental illness.

Happy to have three poems from This Elegance in the current issue of @newenglandreview.bsky.social. Here’s one of them in the issue preview.

A thing I wrote last year about sex, optics, and disability is now on my website to be more accessible to fellow disabled hotties. www.haydenmayknight.com/deafundressed

Gay men seem so preoccupied with youth, but I genuinely believe men get better and better with age. Get gray, grow a belly, and then give me your number, please.

Enough with "would you love me if I was a worm", more "would you lie for me to get me access to HRT".

✨️GenAI use for creative works is slop and inexcusable✨️ ✨️You're making slop✨️ ✨️And if you're being paid for it, fuck you especially✨️

I'm thirty-one years old today. There was a time when gay men couldn't count on having many adult birthdays. I think about them every year. I am so thankful to be here, especially with my two queer triplet brothers and among good and beautiful people everywhere.

You may very well meet a deaf person listening to music with headphones someday, or meet a blind person looking at something on their phone screen. Most deaf people can hear things. Most blind people can see things. No one is faking it. You can actually just leave us alone. 🙏

She's free! Justice!

Love that these celebrities get to indulge in their higher selves while the rest of us are being swallowed by the ever-widening jaws of wealth disparity, crushed beneath towering demands of existence, bled to death for seeking basic care, and disappeared for displeasing the people in power.

I'm trying to accept my recent job loss as an opportunity to refocus on my writing fellowship and its project. If you aren't aware, I've been working on my first full-length manuscript: a love story about a deaf boy and blind boy, an exploration of cross-disability relationships and crip time.

Y'all are still doing Easter? In this egg economy?

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.
