The Cockatrice by Emlyn Meredith Dornemann Gayle spent a lot of time in bed letting her weight press into the mattress. The blankets were piled on top of her in a heap of warmth that was never as comforting as she needed it to be.

"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."

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.

I'm hoping we get a tv show so the story and lore get some room to breathe

I think they're more going for the cute metaphor for consuming fans' souls but I just read the lyrics and there is definitely an argument to be made in favor of pegging

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
