A large white Great Pyrenees Dog stands in a barren field mostly of red clay mud and little grass. A puddle on the ground is reflecting a ray of light onto the side of the dog. The ray of light resembles a butterfly.

We strongly condemn RAINN’s decision to remove all mention of transgender and non-binary survivors from their website. This is not required by law but is a deliberate choice by their leadership. By doing so, they are excluding a group of survivors who are already at a disproportionate risk of sexual violence. Transgender individuals face sexual violence at staggering rates—47% of transgender people and 59% of non-binary individuals report experiencing sexual violence in their lifetime, far higher than the rates for cisgender individuals. This decision marginalizes survivors who are already vulnerable and sends the harmful message that their experiences are less important. We believe all survivors deserve inclusive care and support. RAINN’s choice to erase transgender and non-binary survivors undermines their mission to provide justice and safety for everyone. We call on RAINN to reconsider this harmful decision, reaffirm their commitment to all survivors, and use their considerable influence to fight back against these harmful attacks on marginalized communities. We want to remind folks that we will continue to serve all survivors of sexual violence, regardless of gender identity. Our services are free and available 24/7 to ensure that every survivor receives the support they need. If you or someone you know is in need, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 612-871-5111. We are here for you.

If anyone needs more proof that RAINN's choice to remove resources for trans people was a decision an NOT forced onto them, read this statement from the Sexual Violence Center which condemns RAINN's decision to remove this information. They say it was a deliberate choice and not required by law.

I want to write you something beautiful but I can't think of any words. My heart is broken. My sweet girl. My birthday twin. You were the best. How many people can say they had their own Digimon?

Keeper Nikita Tyson, I love you so, so much. Rest easy Keeperneepermon 💜

It is the cover of a poetry zine. The title is Fat Brown Girl. Fat is written in large, bubbly yellow letters. They give the appearance of being heavy. The background behind the word represents a circus tent. The word Brown is written in the style of Martin Alphabet, popularized by the Martin Show. The background is grey and dingy like a concrete wall. Girl is written against a pink background. The letters are layered and pink and there are sparkles around the word.

Cover for my upcoming poetry zine! Stay tuned!

I skipped all the coverage of the inauguration. I knew the ending already. Ruined the whole movie for me.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

A beautiful torti cat with gleaming yellow eyes sits mostly facing the camera. She is mostly black with a bit of orange in her fur. There is staircase railing in the foreground and a window with sunlight coming in in the background

huh...

Such a wonderful play 🩵 definitely recommend you see the last show tomorrow!

The colors! And the fog! And the wind turbine! Ugh it just took my breath away 🥹

Things I saw floating in the wind waiting for the bus today:
leaves
bubble wrap that floats past me twice dancing around the tires of cars passing by
A small plastic grocery bag
A large clear plastic bag rips past my face
I jump up to grab it, tuck it into my pocket and continue to watch the wind.

A cartoon drawing of a black pug dog. Her front paws and round head are sticking out of a fluffy, white and red stocking. There is a watermark underneath the drawing of two dog like monsters with their mouths tapped shut and overlapped. One dog is yellow and the other is purple. They have large white eyes. Underneath it reads Kross in white letters.

Gift for my friend of his pug. I've missed drawing.

Leaves being perceived through a hole in a tree stump. The edges of the stump are blurry and create depth to the inside where we see orange, yellow, and brown autumn leaves.

Someone remembered me for being a #photographer for the first time today and it feels so affirming 🥹

One of my goals moving into 2025 is to improve my #photography, specifically my #mushroom and #nature photography!

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Then that is definitely more than understandable 🙃

Oh no 🙃 but I get it

This made me cackle 😂

If you see this post a fungi 🍄

A sketch drawing of a dog with a glowing red feather on their nose. The background is black and there is white text above the sketch that reads, "You always rooted for the underdog, and that gives me hope, that you're up there, rooting for me too." There is a small watermark in the corner with two long earred dogs, one in yellow, one in purple, the name Kross written underneath in white.

"You always rooted for the underdog, and that gives me hope, that you're up there, rooting for me too."

Little memorial piece I drew for my great grandmother. Her favorite birds were cardinals.

There's so much grief in my soul. It sweeps through me in waves. On days like this it feels endless, hopeless, screaming into a void.

Thank you!

A vine like plant climbs an orange tarp and hangs on a fence. The leaves of the plant are a reddish orange and caught in the sunlight resemble fire.

Little bit of autumn hanging on
