Spent my last like 3 luteal phases in really awful depressive episodes but this month I'm just kinda sleepy and also crying watching YouTube shorts of wholesome Pokémon trades at card shows.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post. A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Done. Took three minutes. If you use Discord, tell them what you think.

Aaaaaa this is so cool! Congrats to my fellow Fraidy Cats 💚

One thing they dont tell you when you start testosterone is that anything voice activated will start to think you're your husband

Is it even a voicenote from me if I dont have to loudly stop my cats from eating something in the middle of it?

Consider the following before adopting a Manticore for your family

There are two wolves in me: one, a literature snob with an MFA and the other a gremlin freak, foaming at the mouth. Both fucking love chainsaw man.

I don’t know man if Joyce Carol Oats doubted that I read I would do the honourable thing and curl up into a ball and die.

I just finished reading Tender is the Flesh and now I just have to...go to sleep?

One thing about me is I will always be playing Pokémon go in the club.

Was giving myself editing brain breaks with 10 mins of this week's dragula episode but once I hit the floor show I couldn't stop and now it's 11:30 and my edits are not doneeee

Pretty sure every time I see a drag show I just sit there like this the whole time

10 horror movies to get to know me by 💀 Seed of Chucky 💀 Bride of Chucky 💀 I Saw the TV Glow 💀 Nope 💀 Jennifer's Body 💀 Evil Dead 2 💀 Nightmare on Elm St. 2 💀 Friday the 13th (1980) 💀 Beau is Afraid 💀 The Human Centipede (it remains a pox upon my soul)

Hot damn this is excellent

"There was a sound, too heavy to be fluttering, but definitely the sound of wings, and then the feeling of three-taloned toes digging into her calf." Read 'The Cockatrice' by @lost-squonk.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/the-cockatri... #Fabulism #SFF #Fantasy #SpecFic #SpeculativeFiction

I am almost a whole week late, but my story "The Cockatrice" is available to read in this month's Inner Worlds!

New story out next week!

Gender is a spectrum and education is the prism. Education happens at home, in school, in art, in books, in society. They want to destroy the prism so we can only see one color of light.

Reposting because the original draft of this was inspired by the terror of being alone in my Milwaukee apartment and hearing 30 minutes of jets overhead, not realizing that they were practicing for the air and water show downtown. This week, of all weeks, I've been hearing them again.

My apocalyptic short story "To Ashes" is up now at @flashfictiononline.bsky.social

My sister just told me that before my grandma was cremated, the cremation people put her hair in a little baggie to return to our family. And my sister just looked at me and said "if anybody wanted it, I knew it would be you." I mean she's right but idk how to feel about that.

Hello! My life is chaos and I am bad at self-promo but I have a story in this month's Flash Fiction Online!

Today, we invite you to sit a while "In the Café That Was Once a Detention Center" by @lilliantsay.bsky.social, and remember the past as we move into the future: smallwondersmag.com/...

Do you want to to (1) actively resist fascism, (2) signal your resistance to fascism, (3) show solidarity with people being targeted by fascism? Wear a mask. A mask shows your willingness to not comply, your opposition to the eugenics agenda, and you're making spaces safer for vulnerable folks.

We know it's spring because I always have at least three thorns embeded in my hands at all times.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Writing something deeply personal and meaningful that also happens to heavily frature a murder clown

At one point I was very worried that being on T would take away my ability to cry but I'm happy to report that I'm nearly a year in and started crying in the middle of making bereakfast because I thought about the first episode of Anohana a little too hard.

Went to a closing party for a local gay bar tonight and...I'll never tire of being surrounded by queer people. Support your local queer spaces while you have them. And support your local drag performers. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

New Ashnikko song dropped today and it is an absolute crime that my foot is still fucked up so I can't bounce wound my house dancing to it on repeat

It is possible for us to reach people. If you have the capacity to communicate to others, and you're in a safe position to do so, please try. I am trying to figure out what I can do to help. Whatever we can do, we should try.

While playing laser tag, my body body said "you should really stop playing laser tag," but i decided not to heed this warning and now I'm feeling very dramatic with a pair of 15-year-old crutches at the urgent care.

fuck yes

My sister read and early version of my WIP, and (for reasons even SHE couldn't explain) she *hated* a character I had been intentionally trying to make very likable. Anyway now any time that character is in a scene it is my mission to make her just a little more annoying.

~also you can call after hours (now) and leave a voicemail~

Some people are asking what's the point, it's such a small thing Exactly. America failed the solidarity test in 2020 when masking and distancing, very easy to do, yet apparently too much inconvenience to save lives. Economic blackout is small, easy, it's baby steps resistance.

On top of everything else, I will forever hate conservatives for putting me in a timeline where I have to make all these goddamn phone calls

Hi hello just a few recent pics of my cats being cute

If we accept that people are naturally too silly to even watch TV that leads to the great idea of letting Strong Men Who Know Better determine everything.

In an argument about whether Freiren or Chainsaw Man is the better anime. Husband: ok but can chainsaw man make you cry in the first 10 minutes Me: i have cried watching fast and furious movies. tears are not an indicator of quality.

whenever my cat complains about me not feeding him more than three times a day I have developed a habit of showing him great works of art that depict suffering (The Pieta, The Rape of Lucretia, The Fall of Nineveh) and explain in detail how his own pain greatly exceeds that depicted

Was talking to my husband about an AOC video where she talked about the importance of calling republican representatives but instead of calling her AOC I kept saying AO3 so...y'know. I've really got my shit together over here.

the genders will continue til the government improves

Sometimes queer joy is cracking open a bottle of champagne with your bestie and roasting the fuck out of the oscar-nominated train wreck that is Emilia Pérez

The last piece of art I consumed in the final hours of January was Killing Stalking, which was scary only in that it was irritating enough to keep me up past my bedtime thinking about The Discourse it inspired Anyway here's 5 things I actually enjoyed in January, in no particular order:

Going to get a tattoo that says THE HORRORS PERSIST BUT SO DO THE DEADLINES

I saw this thing on tumblr the other day, and thought, "surely it can't be true." But it is: If you include the word "fuck" in a google search, the results no longer return a useless AI summary. Which means my search history on google now looks like this
