Elle | they/them 🌈🏴✨

I saw some big gold bamboo hoop earrings emblazoned with “ACAB” across them on Etsy and I tell you, the deep need I have for them now is something else

Replace "dumb" and "stupid" with "fucking" or "cunting" in expressing your disdain for something and if you feel like you're not comfortable posting something with such harsh language consider the fact that you've been using ableist slurs this whole fucking time.

Four books sit on top of a green duvet cover with white olive leaves on it. The top left book is blue and grey, and is “No Gods, No Masters” edited by Daniel Guerin. The top left is red with a black illustration of a peasant with their fist raised, and is “Libertat: The Anarchist Revolution” by Errico Malatesta. The bottom left is black with red splatters and writing, and is “Anarchy”, also by Malatesta. Finally, the bottom left is black and white with a high contrast black photo of a protest across the bottom, and it is “What is Anarchism?” by Alexander Berkman

This was the other day’s book haul. I have a talent for getting sweet deals on second hand shit on eBay so put it to good use for my evening reading material. Have read Anarchy by Malatesta so far, will be delving into the Berkman tonight. Thought it’d be a good idea to actually learn some theory!

Don’t use an accessibility aid as a place for your second-rate jokes. Use them to give the necessary context for visually impaired people, so that they’re not missing out on things people without sight loss take for granted. Let’s make Bluesky a friendly, accessible place 🖤

Baby bird *finishes hatching* Sorry… am I in a bowl of sticks? Am I in a fucking bowl of sticks a thousand feet off the ground right now, yes or no

Just read an article about Emma Goldman’s political and personal writings on love and it was simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking to see people have not changed, we have always yearned for intimacy and love, sometimes in ways that contradict our other yearnings, and that people need people

one of the most corrosive habits of online dunk culture is making it imperative that everyone be correct at all times and making it harder to be like "oh shit i didn't know that" and then change your mind, which is something that is normal, healthy, and good, imo.

Don’t worry, I won’t be all theory because who the fuck wants that? There’ll be shitposts a plenty. Just realised that there’s certain things I should not be posting on my writing account if I ever want to get published and be a professional writer (whatever the fuck that means in this economy)

Guess I should do an intro? 🥰

I’m Ellis, I’m 31, I use they/them pronouns and I live on the rainy fascist island. ☔️

I have another account under a different pseudonym for my fiction, but here I want to document my non-fiction reading. I’ve missed learning so that’s what I’m doing with this! 📚
