25.10.07 - but you haunt me just the same

i won't go whistling by your grave
if you don't go whistling in my mind

Blackbird, Sarah Gillespie, 2017.

Masking helps us survive, but it’s not sustainable. It’s dangerous to keep hiding pain just to be seen as “acceptable.”
We deserve to be safe as we are

An angry dog stands among flowers. Text reads: "you are not living authentically."

Woof woof, girl.

25.10.06 - you break the rules and spikes grow from your skin

i have nothing left to prove
cause i have nothing left to lose
see me bare my teeth for you
who, who are you?

This darkness won't last forever. This heaviness won't always be around. Don't give up.

Ozy and Milo, two Fox boys, one gray and wearing a top hat, scarf and long black coat, the other red and wearing a beanie that covers his ears. And of course they have cocoa. General autumn theme.

Someone told me it was #foxtober.

I vaguely feel like foxes had another month earlier on? Like maybe this is all…made up? See? I’m clever. Like a fox.

Here’s Ozy and Milo on a fall day.

25.10.05 - when i let this corpse go will you do the same?

on the highway
thirty people turned to stone
oh take me to the station
cause i'm number thirty-one

Autistic Traits vs Autistic Trauma — Trauma Geek Healing developmental trauma does not make an autistic person more typical. Trauma interventions can increase an autistic person's atypical behaviors as they re-connect with their genetically divergen...

It is important for us to reduce the symptoms of autistic trauma, but if we try to do that in a space where connection and acceptance is systematically denied from us, we will have an intensely painful experience of rejection.

25.10.04 - it's so easy to fly through a window

and just when i think
that things are in their place
the heavens are secure
the whole thing explodes in my face

Working on something really fun for @spoke-art.com's 15th Anniversary Show, opening October 18th in NYC!

Love who you are growing into.

25.10.03 - i shine only with the light you gave me

and in the naked light i saw
ten thousand people, maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
no one dared disturb the sound of silence

We are not monstrous when we think on monsters. No. We are only monstrous when we have no feeling for those who suffer horrors at their hands or teeth. - #CLNolan on the 1932 introduction of an H for Horror certificate for films

Seriously. Fuck these fascists. Join a No Kings protest on October 18 and stand up for our rights and our democracy.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

25.10.02 - some of us will never sleep again

Hear the unloved weeping like rain
Guard your sleep from the sound of their pain
Long gone, long gone, long gone
Long gone and out of this world

Compassion isn’t a weakness.
Empathy isn’t a sin.
Cruelty isn’t a strength.
Vengeance isn’t a virtue.

So George Romero’s Daughter, Tina Romero has made a film about drag queens fighting zombies… And I kinda need that in my life…

The benefits of neurodiversity are obvious if people would stop to think about it. Different ways of thinking means that different skills are easier for different people. A mentally diverse population can therefore do much more, learn much more and create much more than a mental monoculture. /1
