Writer, bad carpenter, builder of things, tired. Welcome the disassociation station. Trains leave all the time. You never see them leave though. Which is weird. How long have we been standing here?

if you think we don't have our own voices and need to be saved, you aren't looking hard enough.
Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.

Long live trans youth.
We live to fight another day.
At what point are trans people allowed to exist in the narrative? At what point are LGBT+ people allowed to tell our stories without worry of censorship or removal?

This is the remix of the same song I've been singing, but I'm tired of watching the government play in our faces.
As an extra bitch with a writing degree, it is very fitting that Glamour and Grammar used to be the same word, signifying anything mystifying or unknown, be it language or spellcraft.
It is also fitting, because grammar is confusing as shit, and so is my face if you ask straight men.
This has amazing energy and the lines just streak across the space, nice!
