thanks to my simple rule “just call people whatever pronoun they want who cares” i spend less time thinking about gender issues than 95% of the population. with my free time i imagine cool battles

Text of a poem: Travel Plans by Mary Kathryn Stillwell Travel Plans As I sat on the toilet of a Boeing 727, somewhere over Ohio riding United tourist, I imagined my last moments of life falling bare-assed through the sky, trying to reach down to pull up my pants, then, tumbling, trying to reach up to pull my pants down, so I would land respectably dressed.

Incredibly good Paris Review poem of the day

if you can't handle me at my eepiest, you can't handle me at my uncontrollably sobbing while watching magical girl anime

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Cuuute!

Every step counts! You're doing fantastic, and writing so much more than the average person.

Right? I don't want a separate app for every store; that's what the web browser is for!

My MC has become Aurora, immortal queen of the fairies. She has everything she could ever want, but when an opportunity comes to help her past human self, she leaves it all behind to change her fate.

No human will ever make her feel small again.

"there are some good turns of phrase there that I can't quite fit in this time round."

This hurts so bad sad cowgirl emoji

This brings me so much joy

This poem, entitled 'Needles' is presented in the form of a Christmas tree. These words form the shape of the tree: I wrote a poem in the shape of a Christmas tree but then forgot to water it and only a few days later there And these words are distributed around the base of my poem 'tree' as if they've fallen off it: were words all over the carpet

Today’s poem is called ‘Needles’.

just got hospitalized from a recent peekaboo accident they put me in the i c u

vanity is radical as a trans woman so i make zero apologies for it and encourage every one of you to be the same

Never apologize for being the coolest person on the planet

ooo love moments in stories where creeps FAFO. It's my favorite way to show how strong a character is/has grown compared to the average person.

I've been thinking about the word 'cosy' a bit, and what makes me feel cosy is being wrapped up in bed while rain thunders down outside. Feeling safe, despite—

I don't think I vibe with merely feeling safe, that doesn't feel real to me, I need to feel safe, despite—

Do a twirl for the hell of it

Goodnight.

Do not obey in advance. Resist. Do not offer an oppressive government what it wants. Do not anticipate its needs and offer up what you think it wants. To do so teaches power what it can do.

Reminder to anyone who needs it today:
Dreaming is resistance.
Kindness is resistance.
Art is resistance.
Make art. Make hope. Dream a better world. Resist.

"Trans women are actually women for real, not in a metaphorical sense, not in a "anyone can be anything" sense, but genuinely actually make more taxonomic sense to classify in the category of women than any other group" is a position you'll find is pretty radical even in queer spaces

When you don't like something a trans person made, you don't actually have to make up social justice reasons for why you must axiomatically despise them for their lacking social justice politics.

You can just not like the thing they made for normal reasons.

American democracy must survive if only so i can kiss the girl.

So funny to me how trans people are only supposed to make up .1 to .5% of the population but then you're online for 5 minutes and you ask like "oh I wonder who made this art/discord emoji/award winning soundtrack/dragon age game" and it's always a trans woman asking for help with her GFM on Tumblr
