Crawdads in a cage Not #spooked By the dark between hands Hoisted into the light— Not #clueless of sparks Shining in hungry eyes In the face of death Nothing is wasted In the stare What we whisper While we eat That kind of ignorance Tastes better When applied to our own #vss365

Y'know...I can't be mad at the upstairs neighbors waking me up to "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden at 5am. It's a classic. Now them drunkenly singing it at 5am...

& I’m proud to be a smut peddler selling filth with liberty! Where the tags are long, the plots are loose, & the readers beg for three! & I’ll gladly write UP, that bonus chapter when the comments start to plead! Yeah, there ain’t no doubt—I’m loud, I’m proud, God bless AO3!!

I wish I had found this book around the time of my NDE. The bit between Nora & Hugo about their circumstances, quantum mechanics, etc. that resonated so damn hard. #booksky #themidnightlibrary

Jesus Christ, there's 1800 of you.

These days, the waves look like melted wax Rainbow glass flirting with #balderdash Cold air shaking like a cadaver’s pulse Grit of the sand clicks like baby teeth Monstrous in truth, I carry the weight of knowing— I still root for them, just not at their table #vss365

To the barred owl that peered at me through the window & made me screech like a harpy cause I thought Bigfoot was checking on it:

I've never been so pissed on behalf of a protagonist in a LONG time. Has a great narrative on sexism, racism, & men discounting women because...men. I liked the humor, didn't care for the assault scene (felt unneeded). Overall, not bad for a horror. #booksky #📚

Time put a spell on us we aged into people who couldn't see eye to eye My hands became too big for yours & I outgrew the shape you molded for me When you closed your eyes & welcomed the #abstraction we feared I hope you knew I love you & these hands I have will always reach for you #vss365

I'm 33 between 19 & 69 (year or age, it doesn't matter) For these violent #delights Have violent ends & I threw up just enough spirit to ascend I'm a visitor here watching teeth gleam in every vice— Every breath taken I slip to third person falling without ever leaving the body #vss365

Good 🍲

Hey, it's all a rough draft! Nothing is set in stone. Want to change the plot at the last second? Do it. Bring in new characters? Hell yeah! You don't have to have the narrative figured out, but you gotta live it. We're gonna kick so much ass in 2026. I'm proud of you 🫂💙

Mentally, I'm here again

Hindsight? I shouldn't have made this joke cause it's got worse. I'm going to urgent care cause...HER FLESH IS BREAKING DOWN, CAPTAIN!

My voice sounds like a rag squeaking against polished wood You tried to wrap me in a #dream you swore was ours Really, it was yours. I came along for the ride Teardrops in my eyes alone in your temple One day Your worship will be remembered by the ruins it left behind #vss365

Hey, do you guys have a favorite winter soup that involves dumplings of any kind? I'd love to try something new!

Good 🍲 We got this 💯

Tell stories. Write stories. Read stories. Watch stories. Make your life a story. I am not exaggerating: the future depends on it.

Assumed I'm a trans hating Maga because I *checks notes* wrote about my distaste for neo-puritan constructs in fandom spaces & fictional writing & how it creates modern witch hunts against folks deemed "impure" because they have specific tastes etc. ..yeah, me too guys.

I can't appease The masses & their eyes Filled with gold I'd better #travel far Then be trapped Doing what I've been told I can't believe They lit heaven on fire To feel an inch of grace Remember At the 11th hour As long as I'm here No one can cast a Midas touch Upon your face #vss365

The organs in my abdomen registering the grapefruit & apricot-sized tumors are gone:

Did I shove a whole ice pack down my pants at 5am? Yep. Did I scrub anti-itch cream around my abdomen? Yep. Am I going to take a Benadryl & risk harassment by the Hatman for tax to get peace from the allergic reaction I'm having to the surgical glue keeping my wounds shut?

I don't tell you all enough how proud I am that you take the time to make art. It's imperfect and raw but so very human. I love it that way. Keep creating.

The sparks have fizzled your blood type: void halts to a stop, & in your dreams of electric sheep— Do you finally get it? Consciousness— entropy's #sole survivor, beats on the crashing waves of space & time & she thanks you for plugging in & playing this game called life #vss365

Tetrapod Zoology 20th birthday coming up in late January 2026. There will be a zoom event for those interested.

The most woke thing I can say is that many on my side (progressives) need to take a hard look in the mirror & realize the more we police (esp our own), the more we lose the cause. No human can be 100% perfect. We can aspire, but we can't force folks into molds. We need nuance & empathy.

(reposting to add tags) "In despair, the Healer extended his hand to the gods begging for mercy, but none of the Astrals heard his plea. So he drowned." #FFXV #art #fanart

The #air of #mars runs across the strands of your hair & the stars don’t seem to know or care for what’s in store The light above grows the heat plunders & shatters what’s ozone There’s a little blue dot whispering salvation’s here I think we’re meant to stay don't need history repeating #vss365

Approved by Lord Duck. He is the lord of all ducks. 🦆

I'm at this phase of the healing process post surgery 😂 I've never been so itchy in my life. #iykyk #residentevil

When I'm perceived & validated it feels like I'm taking a bath with a toaster. Starts really exciting, but ends in disaster. Y'know what? We're gonna change that. Instead of death by electrocution, we're gonna live with 3rd degree burns & shimmy out of the tub like a god of thunder.

Good 🍲 Yay!! More carno art! Look at them horns!! 😍

My favorite teacher said he wouldn't hire me to be an educator because, "Your life is not interesting enough." I went home from school every day from 5 to 25 getting harassed & beaten by an alcoholic parent, + other relatives & took care of my grandparents. Worst part? He knew. Still said it.

Them: goals for 2026? Me: wear more bones in my daily attire

Them: You look miserable. Is it the cuts from surgery? Do you need more pain medication? Me: No. I just miss Alan Rickman a lot.

Just the usual welsh singing, festive undead horse

The #struggle is in your head in the words you wield to maim & kill Speech meant to soothe instincts long caged to keep happy monsters pacified To win we must #survive the impossible where even the tame must bare their teeth & dare proclaim: No. I will not die today. #vss365

Dragonite is the definition of, "I love you. I love & value you so much that I will kick your ass to save our friendship. If I didn't care, I wouldn't be fighting this hard to protect you, to protect us." He's a rare ride or die & so am I.

He is everything to me

Group of starters 🔥🌱🌊

Update: I have a detailed update on what went down & how I'm doing plus the plot twist about losing a different body part than I was expecting (still an ovary but not the one we intended to evict). Happy holidays & thank you for supporting! #gofundme #mutualaid #recovery #ovary gofund.me/213e82984

Think it's cool af matriarchal churches are popping, but there anything for us enbies, aliens, agenders, etc. who feel balanced in the feminine & masculine, don't want to pick a side, or don't even feel like we're the same species as y'all? I'm a shifter. You gotta let me shape.

youtu.be/UuKuLdTKgC8?... This Outlaw Star Cowboy Bebop The Big O Gundam Zoids Man, we had it good on Toonami in the 90s and early 00s. All the space & sci-fi anime gave me the expectation I'd be cosmos traveling in my 30s 😂. I wish anime today had this kind of wonder in their plots.

I'd love to see this beautiful work get turned into an anime! Vote if you can! #dinosaurs #dinosaursanctuary

I am Apex, the machine. I watched you bloom & burn from cradle to grave, every iteration the same— you #shoot for stars, devour your kin, blend flesh with steel, & #jump worlds to outrun the fate you echo. Your #fight exceeds my design. I can't save what evolves as contagion #vss365
