Check out my cool new shirt. The brothel workers who are fighting to unionize now have merch! So you know I had to grab a shirt to support union baddies 😁 Sex work is valid work. I stand with any worker fighting to unionize.

I'm getting some incredibly cool gay communist spider stuff in the near future 😁 Found some awesome fellow working class artists who were open for commissions and DAMN! Workers are fucking awesome 😊

Jacob Geller is one of my favorite pop culture critics. I have watched all his videos and enjoyed them immensely. This is a brilliant video about "1984" and its continued relevance in the modern day.

Unpopular opinion (based on an interaction I just had): no plastic bobblehead doll is worth more than $30. If you're trying to sell a fucking Funko Pop for $100, please fuck ALL the way off. You are a terrible person. This is why I say #fandoms are capitalist cults that cater to bourgeoisie swine.

I'm a sucker for a good winged picture 😁🪽

A group of Palestinian women stopped me to tell me how much they loved my shirt (one of them even thanked me for being open about being pro-Palestine). That's why I advocate for #Palestine. That's why I don't give a shit about people who hate me for doing so. Those women deserve the world.

Popping back on while I wait for a performance to show everyone one of the famous Brookfield Zoo lions. Like many Chicagoans, these guys were a staple of my childhood. Chicago has a thing about lion statues. They're everywhere (the Art Institute lions are pretty infamous)

My local zoo has a lantern festival. Going offline a bit while I explore. Will try to remember to post pictures 😁

Just an average #anarchist whose philosophy will always be rooted in a love for and faith in humanity. #Leftist

The weather is nice, so I'm going on an impromptu adventure 😁

I realized this morning that I forgot to post my 2026 appearance schedule 😅 So here's my confirmed appearances if anyone is interested (and wants to hear about the gay communist spider revolution). There are 2 more events I'm waiting on confirmation for. I'm also going on some adventures 😁

Anyone ever see the horror movie "The Invitation" from 2015? That movie really captures what it feels like to be a #Leftist, particularly a communist or anarchist, right now. You know something bad is going to happen, but everyone keeps telling you that you're overreacting.

Catching up with #Pratchett at my side hustle (yes, #anarchists read more than theory. Shocking, I know). I used to read these within days. Unfortunately, I currently have #manuscript brain. Reading is slow going 😅

Out of curiosity: do any of my followers know about the #Mayerling incident?

It's fascinating how so many liberals on social media claim to be all for #Leftism ... until it inconveniences them or critiques something they like. A lot of people have said they respect my being an #Anarchist, but the second I critique capitalist activities? They change their tune 🙄

"Wait, which of the sons can't keep it in his pants?" ~me trying to find the parentage of a character in my series 😂 (One thing I really love exploring is the different kinds of destructive hedonism. We all have hedonistic moments, but when it consumes one's existence? Bad times) #writing

Funny story: turns out one of the smaller ballet companies in Chicago is actually a Christian cult. I've been to a performance and I thought it was odd they talked the same exact way #fandom people talk (I chalked it up to them being younger, but now it makes sense 😂)

I really hate when people are trying to offer critique on something and some privileged white person says something along the lines of, "Well it was there for me during a really rough time in my life." Not to be an a$$hole, but WTF does that have to do with anything. (Cont'd)

OMG, I love this! Show some love to the sex workers who are trying to unionize! I bought a shirt (I have too many clothes, but as a #Leftist, I need to support my #comrades). They also have stickers and a mug! store.unitedbrothelworkers.org

With the numerous layoffs at a certain corporation, I have bumped this up on my to read list. Consuming media uncritically is greatly contributing to the rise of fascism. We're giving power to the 1% every time we interact with one of their properties.

ME: Shit, I gotta order more business cards and bookmarks for upcoming appearances. Probably should get some more books too. MY ADHD: I hear what you're saying. Best I can do is staring at the wall for 15 minutes, completely forgetting all that. #neurodivergence

The same people turning a blind eye to the Palestinians (except for the occasional performative march) are the same ones who don't value workers lives (they don't care about the workers being worked to death in warehouses). When you choose escapism over people, you're part of the problem. 🤷‍♀️

Merlin is such a goofy cat 😂

I was sitting here just now, reflecting on my experience last night. I had a few interesting moments that made me realize something about trauma, capitalism, and real encounters vs. parasocial ones. Social situations are still difficult for me. Crowds take a lot out of me. (Cont'd)

I gave A'Tuins (tiny turtles) to Poe, Masque of the Red Death, and the Raven. I gave 2 to Poe since his wife's favorite animal is a turtle 😁 Always showing fellow #workers appreciation. #Discworld #EdgarAllanPoe #ballet

CAPITALISTS: I'm such a commie. The right totally HATES me, even though I totally believe in capitalism and price out workers everywhere. I'm really radical. Oh I don't read. ACTUAL #LEFTISTS: (after a day of dismantling capitalist systems and helping their communities).

Waiting for the theater to open, brushing up on my #communism. Leftists, we are always learning 😂

Oh, I'm a happy, happy gal 😊 #ballet

Gave a tiny A'Tuin to the conductor on my way to the city. Always showing love and appreciation to the workers 😁🐢 #Discworld #Leftist

Have you ever seen a working class gal in a fancy dress lift 25 - 50 lb boxes of books. Because the patrons where I work just did 😅 #workingclass #Leftist #balletnerd

Already for the #ballet tonight 😁 Yes, that's the flag of Palestine. I'm anti-imperialist and anti-genocide. The IDF also trains the fascists currently occupying my city. As a #Leftist, an anarchist, I stand with all fellow workers.

Anyone ever feel...not sad, but like kind of a melancholy sort of wistful? If that makes any sense. There's going to be #contradancing at the masquerade after the ballet and that was something I used to be interested in. However, as a survivor, being touched by a stranger is... difficult. (Cont'd)

Thanks to everyone who offered input on the #dress choices and voted! The green revenge dress won by a landslide! This is going to look super queer when paired with my Docs 😁 #balletnerd

Well, with 15 minutes to go, it looks like the off the shoulder #dress is going to win in a landslide. The funny part: I'm going to have to wear this to work (I'm going straight from my job to the train station). #ballet

Reading Voltairine de Cleyre is what showed me what real bravery looks like. De Cleyre identified as a radical socialist for much of her life. Then the Haymarket Affair happened and de Cleyre witnessed the state execute protesting workers, labeling them anarchists as justification. (Cont'd)

I keep forgetting that people enjoy the occasional anarchist rant 🤣 Or maybe y'all just like pretty #dresses. There's a neck-in-neck race for what I'm wearing to the #ballet this weekend. I'm going to take votes until 9 pm CST. Here are the contenders (part 1)

Pictures have been requested, so here's a thread of moi in options for the Edgar Allan Poe ballet and masquerade. First the greens (and one red)

I can't decide what dress to wear to the Edgar Allan Poe ballet. Do I go with an elegant dark green or a ravishing sapphire blue? 🤔

Uh, is Bluesky bugging out for anyone else 😕

Anyhow, I'm logging off for today because the #GoodOmens fandom is sharing stuff to their social media that directly benefits a company profiting from and participating in the genocide in Palestine. Because rich white men mean more to them than anything. Free Palestine ✌️💚❤️🖤🤍🇵🇸 (Cont'd)

I just had a random memory that reminded me of another reason why I will always detest the bourgeoisie #GoodOmens #fandom So I'm pretty sure I have already brought up how grossly materialistic and selfish they are (how they actively price out the workers) (cont'd)

I see there's a "Little House on the Prairie" remake happening on Netflix. Who wants to bet they're going to make it trad wife propaganda?

A lot of people say some celebrity or media helped them through a rough patch and that's why they're uncritically devoted to it. And I really wish they read about how capitalism works, because targeting vulnerable people is part of how capitalism works. (Cont'd)

Debating whether I should post the shady shit I have seen a #fandom do since they're boosting Amazon (again) not even a week after a worker died in one of their warehouses and their coworkers were ordered to just work around the body. TV fandoms are fucking morally bankrupt.

One of the more minor reasons why I detest the #GoodOmens fandom (aside from the unwillingness to confront the numerous Zionists in the fandom and driving traffic to a corporation that profits and participates in genocide): my bestie liked a character and the fuckass #fandom is so gross and (cont'd)

The Royal Ballet and Opera has released it's 26/27 season! And it's amazing! Also, notice how there's a section about programs to make performances more accessible to all economic classes? Yeah, real art becomes more accessible not less. www.rbo.org.uk/latest-news/...

MIDDLE CLASS: Let's protest with a parade! We got all the proper paperwork and approvals. Don't forget the cute frog costumes. And make a quippy sign. WORKERS:

I GOT TURTLES!!!! 😁😁😁😁 Available to everyone except for the ruling class (🖕 the ruling class and the bourgeoisie). I'm always going to have these on me, so if we bump into each other, feel free to ask for one 🐢

"Anarchists are so scawry. They're violent and destructive." This is a book by Ursula K Le Guin, my personal favorite author. She had a background in anthropology and changed the genre as we know it. She was a brilliant woman. Le Guin was also an anarchist. #books

I think the warehouse fires have the potential to have even more impact than Luigi. The reason being is it's a lot more difficult to convince most people to physically hurt another person, much less kill them. Burning down a warehouse? That's an inanimate object (cont'd)
