you must feel sexy. you must. it is actually imperative

this is the great blindness of self-absorbed people: deep down, they believe, everyone is like them. And they are wrong.

i am not immune to cheesy shit like this www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

my most boomer trait is using voice to text because my thumbs are too large for the phone keyboard, which results in me making a bunch of homophonic typos, capitalizing/punctuating strangely, and typing "fucking voice to text 🤦‍♀️" frequently

I discovered a secret to passing better: wear baggy clothes to beg the question of what your figure actually looks like & also carry an enormous pinecone to mess with the viewer's sense of scale

Next they came for no one, because we stopped them.

Che vuoi

I am not going to describe my only life, my only future, and my only surroundings as bleak

OK, well it's not even 8:30 am and I just watched a snuff film courtesy of the US government... should I just go back to bed?

amazing i have hit 50 subscribers !!

process of cutting my own bangs: 1. rough draft 2. revisions 3. further revisions after peer feedback 4. fuck it, they'll grow out again

im gonna be real with you, arguing over the correct legacy of american or world historical violence into which to place ICE is a fucking waste of time why the fuck are you splitting hairs who gives a shit just go stop the fuckers

i want to write stories about young people because nothing happens to me anymore that's worth writing about, but that means all my stories are going to be set in the 2000s and 2010s

every poem should start like an imageboard green text story: "be me". I think it would help people who don't "get" poetry. i'm not asking you to try to relate to me or have compassion for me, or even put yourself in my shoes, I am asking you to will yourself to Be Me for the duration of the poem

what if i tried to climb the tree, i said to marjorie

My friend's friend's family is still struggling a ton in Gaza so if you have a bit to spare, check it out. this is the only thing I ever shill for www.gofundme.com/f/4eman

HEY .. DATES ARE Super FUVKING TAsTy!

the girl who's old enough to remember light brown M&M's could fix you

communism is the nightmare capitalism has when we trouble its sleep

fiction writing mallory is so back

I like this a lot! someone very earnestly bringing back the proper spirit of alt lit (i.e. not in the dimes square way).

freud was such a goofy lil guy

film noir is feminist if you watch it like i do

The Inspiration for Autism Barbie Speaks Out

typical tran meetup

architecture that makes the idea that God would ever become human seem straight goofy

calling women tarts is crazy... like, you're saying she's a lil pastry

many of the dolls complaining about cis libs who compare trans medical treatment to cis cosmetic surgery or hormonal self-enhancement regimes fail to recognize that those libs are operating according to the same logic that made informed consent the norm and allowed most of us to transition

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Dungeon Master's Guide

Nothing can stop me from loving humanity

this GbV copyist is driving me CRAZY dude

HRT start date tattooed on lower back

coming up on three years into transition

you and that girl you "hate" two weeks out from fucking

i actually made it into the Had call today, which feels extremely auspicious. it's the only lit journal where just being able to successfully submit feels kind of like being accepted

if you thought the transfeminine review girl's review of that sci-fi erotica novel was mean, my thoughts on Manhunt would give you an aneurysm

a critic is a PERSON. a critic's value is in their OPINIONS. whether you agree or disagree with their opinions is another thing entirely, but it is the reasoning and explanation that can be debated. beth is allowed to dislike a book. she is allowed to write an essay why. it is ESSENTIAL that she is.

the two kinds of defenses against abandonment are "if i make myself completely amenable to you, you will never leave me" and "fuck you, you can't help me"; they are by no means exclusive

why is it so hard for people to recognize that individuals have both personal responsibility for their behavior AND incentives/restrictions related to their place in the system

how it feels to not be invested in any fandoms

lmfao

kill me

scott adams was a great cartoonist who increasingly had a lot of bad ideas about the world. people will look back on Dilbert as a sort of charming chronicle of a time when there was actually a middle class

"It's this girl. She's a bit of dork but she has an understated Girl Next Door charm that has the guys lining up around the block. We're going to have one of her in every store."

i feel like such an innocent on here seeing kids subtweeting each other like "i swear to god the snorfing community is becoming so toxic" or "sorry, i don't think it's controversial to think flurp is weird"

call me old fashioned but i think you gotta believe it's either okay to kill protesters or it's not. and i would say you should choose "not"
