This year’s top 5 reads.

It’s time for my annual reminder that Veterans Day is an Americanization that replaced Armistice Day, an international plea for peace and hope for a world without war.

“I’m often curious what the difference is between ‘being good at it,’ and ‘pretending to be good at it’ in the context of polyamory.” — @elisabeth.love , effin’ me up on a hike today

I (42F) just texted one of my partners (37NB) out of the blue to ask which Pokémon I am, despite neither of us having much cultural context for Pokémon.

Tonee Mae Moll’s deadname is Pepper Ann.

The thing about one’s first poet4poet relationship is that it inevitably leads to one’s first poet4poet breakup. Cue: TheUsesofSorrow_Mary_Oliver.MP3

If someone calls you a Luddite for being anti-AI, please remember that the luddites were right. They were workers resisting the displacement of jobs by machines, so that owners could make an extra buck.

I keep saying. (may have some new designs soon)

I beg all of y'all Please stop arguing with these fuckin accounts going TRANS PEOPLE SHUT UP AND VOTE FOR NEWSOM Not because they're right. Newsom is an absolute monster, don't support that fuck. But because its an astroturf campaign designed to wear you out 3 YEARS BEFORE THE ELECTION

Here's another ask: are any of you doing virtual readings or events between September - December? I'm looking for some to encourage my creative writing capstone students to attend this fall. I would love to add this to the list on my Canvas site

everything is fine.

No occasion fills me with more arresting indecisiveness about what to wear than first dates with other trans women.

Prescription for end times: “make something lavender.” Tonee Mae Moll’s You Cannot Save Here is just what you need to read during the apocalypse. #sealeychallenge Day 3 @maemoll.bsky.social

This weekend I got the friends and family discount from a doll I don’t know while ordering coffee. We didn’t even, like, have a moment of connection. She just took my order and put in the discount, and this, chat, is praxis, is community.

Be the chaos agent you want to see in the world, girls. 💅

My barrista this morning told me “oh baby—look at you! You came in with the sunshine!” and I’m here to tell you that a) Baltimore is so fucking beautiful, and b) I feel emotionally invincible now, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The feeling of listening through a baby monitor to my boyfriend singing Indigo Girls to their child. 🥹🥹

Well, this seems like a pretty topical day to read this essential nonfiction cut from @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

At a Pride dance party last night, a guy asked in my ear “I know this isn’t very ‘woke’ of me to ask, but are you of the trans experience?” Chat, he wasn’t trying to holler; he just wanted to talk with me about Fallout: New Vegas.

Lesson of the week: one can’t live an extraordinary life without things going extraordinarily bad sometimes. 😮‍💨

My boyfriend is sitting in the best lit part of their house, their young child using their body as a backstop as child plays with toys and boyfriend reads queer theory, annotating as they go. It’s maybe the most attractive thing I’ve ever seen in my four decades on earth.

Last night I was in a Baltimore dive, and a group of guys in their early 30s came in to watch basketball and drink, which was mostly unremarkable until one of those men sang perfectly, loud enough for the whole crowded bar to hear, every single lyric to “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor.

Summertime in Baltimore is here, girls!

Quintessential sapphic experience that I cannot recommend: living with an ex. 😮‍💨

DC ppl: come see me and @maemoll.bsky.social Mon 6/2! lostcitybookstore.com/new-events/2...

A close friend just identified language for a particular type that we’re both into: “not futch, but like, femme with swag.”

The brilliant @notquitehydepark.bsky.social reads a poem of mine (and discusses it with host Mark McGuinness) on the latest episode of the Mouthful of Air podcast! #poetry #transpoetry #polyamory amouthfulofair.fm/stephanie-bu...

Can't wait for the Democratic Party to shove Gavin Newsom down our throats in a general election and then blame leftists when he inevitably loses because he sucks shit

“You told me you loved to stroke the soft fur of the hedgenettle & the smell of your hands upon pinching a switch of lavender & I said I loved our hands together, futuring something into soil.” - Tonee Mae Moll (@maemoll.bsky.social) voicemailpoems.org/2025/05/13/l...

Oh no. I’m realizing that every one of my favorite romantic films have devastating endings: The Way We Were, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Supernova.

Good morning !

Mrs. Dalloway said she would initiate the first message on dating apps herself.

New sad girl poem just dropped: voicemailpoems.org/2025/05/13/l...

I’m going to be honest with y’all: earlier in my transition, I was so flattered by straight men being into me. This weekend, I saw how many of my likes on one of the apps were from these men, and I felt… an overwhelming disappointment? 🤔

🚨🚨SMG and Alyson just collab posted this together on insta🚨🚨 praying to the slayer gods this means Willow is also coming back for the revival 🙏

I find myself, for the first time ever, dating the sort of person who sends me audio recording of them reading a poem they found that particularly moved them.

Sometimes I’m like, Baltimore is exactly the right size for beautiful, cool stuff to happen, and sometime I’m on a date at the same place that my ex spouse walks in on a date, and it feels like some Stars Hollow nonsense. 🤦‍♀️
