i am glad to be a trans person on hrt. being trans is awesome and incredible and anyone persecuting trans people is hell's own jackass. gender should be a playground not a prison camp with barbed wire around it

March Xness Schedule / Game Results β€” March Sadness 90s Edition

my first round @marchxness.bsky.social match will take place on March 9th! I am proud of what I wrote, it’s exactly what you’d expect from me, and it includes a never-before-seen, horrible picture of me as a tween with a bad 80s perm and ugly glasses

here’s the full schedule:

Not gonna pester you all to read my essay until it hits on March 9, but pester you I will…

It’s a bit about Chicago, not as a place or a destination, but more as a catalyst for self actualization, and a lot about my mom, who I miss dearly.

My essay is about pretending to have a crush on a boy to cover up my actual crush on a girl and how Savage Garden got me through it, even if my thirteen-year-old heart was essentially pulverized by the blender of my feelings

And yeah yeah, I'm seeded 14th but you know what? Anything can happen!

@eldiagram.bsky.social was the first place to take a chance on these πŸ™

any recommendations out there for places open to visual poems/graphics/weird hybrid stuff?

doing a task i've been putting off for months: making a list of 5 lit mags where I could submit poems from my Scrabble poems project.

why have I been procrastinating this? because I have been out of the submissions game for a while and it has become terrifying again.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
