and told them that I was moulded from love.

Gospels For the Tongue-Tied Qetsi'ah Baggott-Joachim cover: A beetle separated and reduced to its external anatomical components is rendered in a glowing light orange on a background of rich dark reddish brown. Text reading "GOSPELS FOR THE TONGUE-TIED" AND "QETSIAH JOACHIM-BAGGOT" appear at the top and bottom respectively in the same orange. text: MAYBE I’M NOT HERE AT ALL Maybe I’m sitting in a stairwell at Birmingham New Street station watching all the trains cruise in and out like ferry boats pulled by the ocean pretending that the departures board above my head is something that will tell me how to come home to you again Maybe now that I have left the concrete city the pigeons hover above the powerlines looking around as though they are bricks from the grey buildings in this city blinking with the anticipatory wonder of a newborn calf fluttering their wings as though free

Gospels for the Tongue-Tied lives within and without the projects of gender and religion in an attempt to carve out a space for the self.

Of course I mean it's all of our faults for liking poetry, we're platforming workshops

Someone "more of a statement than a question"-ed their work in the middle of them talking one time

For the uneducated - or the non British - my profile picture is the icon macca pacca, the king of children's bedtime TV here. Also it's a live photo of me jumping up and down whenever something good happens

What is their problem with words and also fun 😭

[editor’s note: the film is incomplete, watch with caution] the printer is broken oh no. it only gives me washed out candids of someone else’s smile. occasionally some paper bones, a rotten wisdom tooth hanging from a flesh thread in a red mouth. it’s all aquamarine and violet stained, i’ve replaced the ink seven times now. my printer keeps crying on my photos. i think it’s grieving. in the night it cries itself to sleep. in the morning there are pictures of [garbled, incoherent] clinging to my coffee machine. oh no. i tried to print out an essay yesterday, but i just got a page of someone asking me to [editor’s note: the film cuts out here, no footage available for 30s.
