being a depressed middle schooler in the early 2010s meant keeping my melancholic diary with orange gel pen in a "i mustache you a question but i'll shave it for later" notebook

a white cat with a black head meowing at @morenothings’s leg

the same cat, curled up in stephanie’s lap as she sits on the sidewalk

@morenothings.bsky.social and i made a friend today

“male loneliness epidemic” i say to my cat while he wails that i went to the bathroom

open the window to hear sounds of people and it's neighbors arguing into the phone, yappy little dogs, and kids yelling "I'M GONNA TELL YOUR FATHER"

think i'm gonna lose my marbles if i don't start something full-time by the end of the year so i everyone has their nets ready to catch them

#Poetry
Here it is, folks! If you preorder, good things will surely follow. (Or, a book, at any rate.)
Thank you thank you thank you!

it happened to me: a young adult in the library asked me for poetry recommendations

both honored and terrified that JAKE has seen my embarrassing younger self and decided to make BOTN read it <3

i’ve fallen ill with whatever disease makes you point at something and say “that’s a poem”

my quarter life crisis begins today

a kick ass sunset

took this in the wawa parking lot while a stranger called to me from her car

Assata. 🕊️🖤

i'm so thankful my 10th grade english teacher had me read assata shakur & i'm thankful two kids dropped the class in outrage & i'm thankful i will always have her on my bookshelf & we will always have her in our hearts, minds, and praxis

awp baltimore needs a cage match

i will only post my full birth chart on main if someone promises to put little hexes on me

bedroom email punk
