Do you think Godzilla would like me as, like, a friend?

I dont wanna be raptured but tbh I don’t think I have to worry about it

Here’s the thing: when you’re a poet you don’t have to be cool. You’re a weird little freak and you make art. People who are cool wish they were poets.

I’ll be at Punch Bucket Lit for this RAD panel with @evelynberrywriter.bsky.social and @kebpoet.bsky.social and @dustinbrookshire.bsky.social, and tabling for @riverriverbooks.bsky.social 🌊 🌊 📚 September 19-20

Are we going to the opening night screening of Conjuring 4? Well, yes, actually.

More bars should sell Gatorade. I love Gatorade! When I’m out with my besties, I just wanna drink the gator ade!

I was offered my first brand deal of my career as a “social media influencer” and it’s $500 to promote adult diapers… should I??? Or??? I mean $500???!

I use the term transsexual not out of some philosophical sense of materiality but because the word “transsexual” sounds cooler and edified and sexier idk

Is it illegal to cry at work?

Once I get over my people pleasing it's OVER for you fuckers. No worries if not, haha.

I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous, or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular, but because it never forgot what it could do. —Naomi Shihab Nye

They play a wombats song in Too Much, which is how you know Lena Dunham has been living in the UK. Anyways this show was lowkey made just for me, like, yeah.

Came home from nyc but my wife is going to Florida for the week. I miss kissing my wife 😭😭😭

In a just world transition medicine would be considered a miracle because of its extremely high rate of success for those who need it, but even outside of that context it should be fucking astounding in what it reveals about how much the body can evolve at a physical & biological level.

My favorite Chinese food place in Columbia is this new place called Chinese food. Very good stuff.

Tuning into King of Drag

Happy to share my new @postandcourier.bsky.social Free Times article about city council’s recent vote to repeal the citywide ban on conversion therapy. Let’s hope it convinces some members to reconsider their next vote. #HappyPride #PrideMonth www.postandcourier.com/free-times/o...

I forgot my library book at home so didn’t get to finish the last 30 pages of the book I’m reading during my lunch break (where I work at the library) so I also borrowed the Libby copy to finish it on my phone 😈 Also Mac Crane’s new book is very good!

My girlfriend is giving me a “sloppy style” gin and tonic and tbh I cannot fathom what that means.

There is, for me, no difference between writing a good poem and moving into sunlight against the body of a woman I love. Audre Lorde

Going sicko mode *picking up some wine before watching tv with my wife*

People make fun of polyamory, and I get it, it can sounds silly from the outside, but damn if being poly has not allowed me to be a more loving, honest, and open person. Love is the best things human ever conjured.

When I call myself a transsexual, I don’t mean it in a trans med exclusionary way, but rather an “I believe in the mutability of biology” way.

I hope they invite me to be part of the conclave, looks fun. :)

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Oh I am like an angsty teen again trying and failing to write this novel, trying to convince myself it doesn’t matter, trying to convince myself this is all that matters.

So stag dance actually really fucked

Was asked to submit to a lit mag edited by undergrad students and I sent in some sonnets. Their “copy edits” completely mar the rhythm of the poem with unnecessary additional words and CHANGED all the line breaks so they seemed totally random…. Like… kinda audacious…

Orpheus of smut, orifice with an oral fixation //

My parents learned what my job is even tho I’ve been working it for three years now. They thought I was a librarian.

Something I saw today— Mustang with a Hisoka wrap and a massive Trump sticker on the back window. Idk kinda makes sense.

Someone gently criticized me today, so yeah gonna need to take the rest of the day off to cry, sorry…

Hiiiii

I love how Netflix is dumbing down its shows so that people can still scroll their phones while watching, meanwhile I’m trying to pause Severance at exactly 41:52 to try to decipher some code.

there is nothing like the thrill of reading something that makes you want to write immediately afterward

It was a queer, pervert winter, the winter they banned TikTok, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

*slamming head repeatedly against desk* oh hi, happy Monday! How was your weekend? Haha, yeah, not much!

The poet urge to share secret good news as soon as you learn it but vague-posting instead.

The highest compliment I can pay Jayden Daniels is he makes me say dumb football cliches like “he’s just a WINNER” when I watch him play

Reading selfies at Queer Haven with Nat Raum

The thing about being a trans woman is that there's literally nothing you can do to keep scary people from hating you and wanting you to die. You might as well be a completely authentic freak pervert, because no matter how polite and withdrawn you are they will hate you anyway.

Attended the first open mic I wasn’t hosting or featuring at in many months, and honestly it was glorious.

ChatGPT writes the kinds of paragraphs stupid people think sounds smart.

Watching Dragon Ball Z for the first time, and it continues to be fantastic.

I read a lot of newly published books, but I’d love to include some ~classics~ to the tbr. What are some classics, modern or ancient, that live up to the hype?

I’m so sleepy 😴😪🥱

Jan 4: Two of Pentacles (Inverted)

Jan 3: The Magician

Saw Babygirl tonight, so disappointing and bad. It’s about being dommed by the a mumble-mouthed crybaby with no rizz 😭 Also Antonio Banderas discovers what fingering is, and that fixes his marriage.
