incredibly hyped to see portland in the spring. i’ve spent a lot of time here in my life but i’ve never been here in the spring

having a body is stressful

being meat is stressful

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly? That’s what talent is like.

they added a new kind of biathlon where competitors alternate cross country skiing and preparing a perfect omelette

i love da rain

the odds of me stumbling across some random weird shit i thought was sick as hell only to have a friend send it to me the next day gotta be wild

this might be sacrilegious but i think they should put smaller meatballs on meatball subs

here’s a poem i wrote about the new bathrooms at the portland ikea

it is now impossible to buy a bulb of garlic that isn’t yucky in some way

maybe i will allow the internet to know what i look like

finally replacing my almost 7 year old phone. i still have the same case and popsocket i picked out back when i got it. i dropped it in coral paint the week i got it. there’s still some stuck in the lenses and case. my cracked and cruddy scrying mirror. it’s been real

Diagnosing myself with moon madness

Girl Moment

very silly that i’ve lived in portland for 7 months now and haven’t been into downtown a single time

you: [stressing for days to send the perfect single email] billionaires: hi, . w=en r we mee&ting to do iLlegiL stuff , . ?

A year ago: We need TAXES on the WEALTHY Now: We need a cleansing fire

critters always disrupting my solitude to come vibrate on me. unbelievable

it’s baffling to me that i can read shit on my phone literally all day long but the second i try to read a book my brain goes into revolt and i have to drag my attention kicking and screaming from one paragraph to another

one of my cats gets a little scrambled egg in the mornings bc she doesn’t like wet food but now every time i crack an egg she gets super fuckin hyped and starts zooming all over the apartment. i’m so sorry sweet baby! these eggs are for me!

one giant downside of having huge south facing windows in your apartment is that it turns the thing into an oven in the winter so you never get used to the cold. it’s 75 in here 🥶

one of the main reasons i moved is my dr gave me an uninspiring canned response when i asked what they were going to do to protect their patients from the state government, which i took as a carefully crafted legal “nothing.” pretty disgusted to see i was right

waking up on the west coast means the news has at least a five hour head start and sometimes that's too much to catch up on

idk i make a lot of jokes abt the wall but maybe i’m joking less these days

i imagine being a pet cat is a lot like being abducted by an alien

i want one of those manual transmission fiat500s so bad i could throw up. someone on my block has one and it’s parked behind my car all the time and seeing my life next to what it could be is almost too much

love when there’s a newspaper profile of some psychopath that points out they allow themselves “a lone vice, like a single cup of black coffee in the morning.” personally I am a bundle of trash glued together by vices. they’re all load-bearing

i’m perpetually 10 pages into a book asking myself questions i’m sure are relevant in the last few pages

Katsuhiro Otomo

thank you for returning The Rain

the best way to ensure nothing bad will happen? constantly think about anything that could possibly go wrong

10000% not in the mood to leave my house but also wiener week

me? oh yeah, fine. I'm doing great. just sort of left my body for a second to observe the current moment and my place in it from a high angle, sort of like what I imagine you'd see from a spy satellite? but one that can look through time? but yeah, I'll have that report done by the end of the day

i love art. all kinds. visual. auditory. olfactory. gustatory. tactile. whatever. every sense is a playground and so are the spaces in between. the worst part of being dead will be no art

This hit so fucking hard today.

i thought moving from a house to an apartment less than half the size would suck but it’s honestly been really fun having to come up with a very intentional creative layout that balances storage, function, and space

it's actually healthy to spend 7-8 hours a day going fucking insane

every time i have a funny thought i try to run it through a filter of “oc or repost?” in my head and sometimes i even search for it and it’s given me brainworms so i just don’t anymore sorry

i don’t think “screwed the pooch” really says as much as “fucked the dog” does

i’m gonna try to share more of the poems i write and finish more of the poems i start i never use hashtags but i’m gonna try that too #poem #poems #poetry

the problem with all us trans people picking the same name is someone does something fucked up and i get confused abt who it is bc we all have the same name

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

i had a silly poem to share today but i really can’t decide if silliness is needed more or less than ever right now

The Senate must reject the bill that funds ICE. Both chambers must take up impeachment, conviction and removal proceedings for POTUS and any other office engaged in the killing and oppression of our communities. Abolish ICE and prosecute from root to branch every last one of them.

i’ve been teetering on the edge of and drifting in and out of panic for 4 days and i’m physically and mentally exhausted
