These signs should be the whole election

every show should have one lady of light, one problematic bisexual prince, one fab high king who sings furiously, many wifeguys, a poet prince, an elf babysitter, a rock loving wifey, a faithful king & his queen, sapphic harfoots, a wizard, one missing silver clam and a Berek 😌

I’m on the market for new beta readers. I’m happy to trade work with other authors, including for proofreading, brainstorming, or whatever skills I might offer in return.

One of my favourite things about Tumblr is the fact that posts from 2009 are still doing the rounds on new blogs. In fact, there are blogs dedicated to Tumblr heritage posts. Some that find and reblog the originals of the posts that make it onto Facebook, Reddit, and Pinterest. It's the best.

The Assault On Reproductive Freedom Is Happening—Now What? Years of complacency have exacted their price.

Trump abortion bans are not just a blatant restriction on the freedom of millions of Americans, but they are causing real harm to the health of far too many. Amelia Christnot digs into just how dangerous these GOP abortion restrictions are in The Big Picture.

I thought this place had an edit option. I believe I just chose my preferred new social media.

What did the farmer say when he couldn't find his tractor??

Where's my fucqing tractor?

(I fell off a chair laughing the first time I heard this and I goggle like a 5 year old every time I get to tell it again)

A card sign in trans pride colours (pink, white, and blue) that says "Prehistoric Animals for Trans Liberation" being propped up by a plush replica of the Crystal Place Megalosaurus, which looks somewhere between a wolf and a crocodile in appearance.

Another card sign in trans pride colours that says "Prehistoric Animals for Trans Liberation". This one is being propped up by a cuddly blue and yellow nudibranch. A beanie Gorgonops is balanced on top of the nudibranch.

A cuddly green pterosaur with a card sign that says "trans rights!"

A group photo of the preceding signs and creatures, and another sign that says "Cubes against transphobia" held between a black and white beanie baby chicken and a purple beanie baby triceratops.

I think I still have these signs in a drawer.
"Cubes" is the collective noun we ended up with for the whole group of toys.

Screenshot of the Bluesky bio of one judyw.bsky.social. A TERF!

Most of y’all probably already know this, but if you ever see a bio on here that includes “Feminist” and a dinosaur emoji, that person is a TERF.

As the lake retreated, she left our offerings to her in the mud, coins for wishes.

After which, she revealed older secrets. Knives, vowing rings, great keys to unknown locks, & those fearful weighted bundles.

Her cool touch, her light & song.Those she took with her.

without strings attached
hearts in a fling

"You cannot swing the lines around, or fling strong-sounding words, or scatter soft ones, to no purpose."

-Mary Oliver, A POETRY HANDBOOK

(This kind of makes me want to swing the lines around and fling strong-sounding words to no purpose 😉)

You wish me
Out of the woods
I wish you in

Fling me about in circles
Asking to move on
Not to rest in one place

I wish you to
Stay with me here
You can learn

As I had to so many times
Tiptoe around glass
Lose touch in this silence

You wish me
Into your picture
I wish it out

Since grocery prices are in the news, allow me to point out that DOJ has also filed suit against protein processors alleging a similar scheme.

They Have To Call Bisan Owda A Terrorist A young journalist living through a genocide documents the reality of life in Gaza. I'll destroy my Emmy if they rescind her nomination

'If Palestinian life in Gaza is not already subject to a death sentence, Palestinian journalism most certainly is. I am grateful that I can't truly comprehend the bravery that Bisan and her colleagues routinely summon.' - @attackerman.bsky.social

burning stuff

you were smoking regals
and I went up just like that
burnt down
to the
nub

a vapour
your face

was glass and papier-mâché
mine was red apple

well fuck
I say completely
stubbed
out

isn’t this is a beautiful
ash tray

If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way.

I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.

Pockets.

Hello there dreamer 💜🌹

This is just to say
I have shaken up the
Presidential race
Like a coconut tree
and now DC is
drinking Piña Coladas

Forgive me

Like you & me,
none of these poems
make sense
without context
