alice wong was one of the most generous spirited writers i've ever had the pleasure to meet. her convo with me at sacf was truly life changing. just finished teaching year of the tiger last wk to a group of teens here in OR & her words live on in the ether

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

This wk, my book The Patient is an Unreliable Historian officially turned a year old! Gratitude for everyone who has read & engaged w my words this past year in the ether. This book's affirmation if summed up quickly: "You are worth so much more than yr productivity." All my love, BPC

HI! I recently moved to Oregon & would like to rekindle art/writing community ASAP. Who can say hi or make recs or connect me to opps from this area of the world? I gave up a LOT to trade some political & personal security outside the South & starting over is HARD! Queer Trans love to the front!

TOMORROW!!

for a long time drugs kept me alive; today, my recovery keeps me alive. today, 2/17/25, makes this journey mark a decade. ten whole years! that 23yo on the ledge had no idea of what's to come. so much love to them & all who helped me see it thru--

so vital to be and do gay, to think and kiss and eat gay, to frolic and skedaddle and ampersand gay, to sit gay and breathe gay

new vm poem at (918) 516-5195! to clarify u call it fwds to recording u dont gotta talk to me (unless you wanna! in which case leave a vm or txt!)

see us where the heron cops the river

damn. that tracks. no more hrc arkansas...as an anon said "I love how they jumped into the south without real input from southerners less than 10 years ago and then randomly pulled out of the south because it doesn’t make them money" that red state tangent keeps on today!!! 😡

ungovernable

also like do yall KNOW how voting districts work???! what does red state even MEAN??? in terms of the community??

yep, biggest pop of tgnc folks in the south too, ESP black & brown trans peeps. don't come at me with this nonsense or i will fight you. or the whole "activism doesnt happen in the south" thing um hello see civil rights but also such a ahistorical/offensive take for folks living in here irl
