kinda miss being Within a fandom, but at the same time my mental health has never been consistently better than it is now since moving away from fandoms. i think what i really miss is how being a catradora fan in may 2020 felt 😭

Viv and Tandri ☕️🥰

Hoping more lesbians find me if i post old #catradora 🙈

potentially, or take photos and upload them

right? 😭 it sometimes feel sacrilegious to digitise them

there’s like actually no good way of organising every poem you’ve ever written. i have some on random pieces of paper, on google drive, in my notes app, in university exercise books, on the back of photo copies, published in an anthology (sorry i just wanted to flex with that one). help!

ily!!

my poetry has an impact on other people?? it’s not just something only i have felt in my brain?? WHAT A CONCEPT

i performed my recently published poem for the first time yesterday and a woman who is both my senior in terms of age AND literary experience turned to me and said it had made her cry and we had a meaningful conversation about my work ! like what !

I modified my Reverend Daughter piece into a tapestry design 🖤 I’ll unveil these at Kami-Kon next weekend, as well as in my sh00p later this month #griddlehark #tlt #gideontheninth

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

3. beautiful world, where are you — sally rooney

medium: paperback (library❕)

4/5 ⭐️

almost read rooney’s entire corpus which is cool. i have a complicated relationship with almost all her male characters though

it’s so good! simple in its plot and nature but sooo eloquent in the internal narration and philosophy

2. i who have never known men — jacqueline harpman

medium: audiobook

5/5 ⭐️

a devastating feat of humanity and the will to live, despite it all. feels all the more important in this time.

1. the starless sea — erin morgenstern

medium: audiobook

2/5 ⭐️

couldn’t get into this unfortunately. i powered through and read til the end bc my friend really enjoyed it and i thought it might have a ‘piranesi’ sort of pay off but… it just didn’t. i can see the appeal but it just wasn’t for me

sincerely a bsky user who is sick and tired of my algorithm being at least 50% people talking about elonger musk constantly LIKE PLEASE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE

> people do a mass exodus to a platform not run by elongated tusk
> they use this new platform to talk exclusively about how much they hate that elongated tusk guy sooo much and how stupid he is
> they are still giving this tusk guy so much traffic when they could instead like. have hobbies idk

with hand pockets no less.. that’s a keeper
