For #weirdpoemwednesday, @tomsnarsky.bsky.social here is Unknown Number

‘Slug’ by Nagasawa Rosetsu a Japanese painter of the Maruyama school. nk on paper, Edo Period

we have to make new emotions because the old ones are used and disgusting

i am twenty-nine years old today. i intend to spend the next year the way i spent the previous two (telling everyone who asks my age that i am thirty)

imagine if Kurosawa was making films today. Highkey and Lowkey

night before my birthday, took the bus to see one of my favorite movies screened, walked an ~hour home listening to music, ate cake in bed, wrote a poem, going to sleep. You people fucking wish you were me

i have another question which is when people say things like this do they just mean "it's important that people can go to the library where the books are" (agree) or are they talking about people getting individual recommendations from librarians (a thing that has literally never happened to me)

sometimes pride shout-outs really are like. I Hope You Have A Nice Month Too But Please Don't Speak To Me That Way :)

i transitioned for the most boring reason of all time which is i tried to kill myself and it didnt work so i had to think of a second idea. ugh!

being expected to download social media in order to keep up with local lgbt events is literally like being held at gunpoint

Susan Kare's 1989 wallpaper for Microsoft?

basically I always think I don't like fiction. But I do like fiction. I just don't care very much about plot or characters is all

referring to myself as a "man of nonbinary experience"

Nobody knows

What’s this that steals, that steals upon my frame?

just started a book that I've been putting off for ages because I was worried about not liking it and it's actually good as fuck. Many such cases

wont be altogether sorry to go back to work but one thing about not having to work is ive been like. feeding myself really well and keeping the house pretty nice lol. today i vacuumed the living room rug even though i am so scared of the vacuum cleaner (big noise)

been reading some tomas tranströmer. in the various englishings. remarkable poet obviously. one problem is that i always think there's some kind of pun or joke display name to be got out of my being a trans poet called thomas / his being a tomas & name having had 'trans' in it. And theres simply not

trying this

O watch and fight and pray;

Constantin Brancusi, "Symbol of James Joyce." 'Reportedly, when Joyce’s father saw Brancusi's image, he remarked,“Jim has changed more than I thought.”' (from: www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/...)

ST. PETER: as I go willingly to my reward i ask only that i be crucified upside down, as I do not deserve to be executed in the same manner as my Lord Christ. SOME LOW-LEVEL ROMAN FUNCTIONARY: *rubbing his brow* wow it really is always fucking something with you people, isn't it.

the issues with trans men is only the stupid ones are online

One theory is that my intermittent they/them periods are an expression of some kind of genuine basic fluidity. Another and so far as I can tell the sounder is that I just do this when I'm kind of depressed and need to get out more

the cool thing about transitioning is having hope and the scary thing about transitioning is having hope

Pope.... please do an encyclical about people using their phones in the cinema. Thank you. Amen.

ok here's a real one: practically you probably cant avoid assigning your kid a gender so whatever but you should feel guilty about that. it's not a good thing to do to a person even if it does sometimes work out

op is NOT beating the genderfluidity allegations. apparently

brownie recipe that's in the oven rn is gonna be the song of the summer if it works out

yes the pope listens to the show

thats not an essay. that's a youtube video. it's a good try but im harder to trick than that

The crystal stream — delightful scene.

looking at my bookshelf, noticing a staple-bound zine I can't immediately place, taking it down, in fact it's the owner's manual for my electric fan (wirecutter budget pick)

sleeping with a piece of wedding cake under my pillow and receiving harrowing dream-visions of the Passion

it is so crazy that you can just take off a body part and put it in the garbage

[goth first date] GOTH: a dead fly should be called a flew OTHER GOTH: a dead bee should be called a been *they kiss, but sadly*

every trans person was born in 1997

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

The iron fetters yield.

turning my big pronoun dial back towards they/them for no clear reason

"home of non-stop rock" is okay but theres a version of that joke that used to go around (idr if it was a tumblr post or a tweet) that was like "sisyphus fm bringing you the same rock every night" which i thought was a lot cleaner

usually feel pretty bad about my little poems but genuinely one of the things that makes me feel positive about them is how often I have the thought I Need The Transfag Community To Be Writing More Shit For Me To Read Right The Fuck Now

honestly someone should write a book about this

I think I do know why this is but I think it's a shame that we now have to route every conversation about bad prose through "is this AI."

lived experience is prot tradition that i seem to be the best cultural fit for (this is a thing happening on christian bsky rn please dw about it) is quakerism; basing that in part on when i started going to my local meeting i immediately ran into multiple friendly acquaintances from other contexts

charlie brown had four women express sincere romantic interest in him over the course of the 'peanuts' comic strip, two of which he even dated, and that's not even counting animated stuff. but i don't know how to express this as a point of discourse without calling a bunch of eight year olds "hos"

Lovely springtime

sometimes forget that a couple months on hrt I felt so (relatively) good that I independently w/out telling anybody discontinued all my psych meds (at the time I was on two antidepressants and a neuroleptic) and I was literally right about doing that I've never considered going back on any of them
