Trans literature has value because trans authors are human beings telling stories in their unique ways. It is profoundly frustrating to see trans authors are only valued when we write about transphobia or when we write hopeful trans stories intended to serve as an antidote to transphobia

Trying to not weigh in on this ai discussion but it’s important to remember technology exists in a political economic context and what a tech “is” and whether it is a net positive or even useful to most people is largely contingent on that context

anyone who invokes anti- or post-humanism (both things I'm totally fine with) but who focuses their love and defense of the non-human on, for instance, the machine that gives you imperfect answers in a perfectly obeisant tone, and not the non-human things devastated by that machine, can fuck off.

Scranton, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia

anyway, let's read about scranton together. i think they shouldn't call themselves the electric city unless they put the streetcars back in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scranto...

it is genuinely difficult to tally the crimes of this nation but the scale of mining pollution and the harm it wreaks on workers is something i am reckoning with lately

there was a whirlpool in the January river. they had to build a massive cofferdam to repair the damage, much like they do for oil spills

i learned recently about the knox mine disaster, in which the Knox Mine tunneled 6-8 feet beneath the bed of the Susquehanna, leading to 10 *billion* gallons to flood into the mine

it is hard to express the great horror of mining and its consequences. entire regions rendered sacrifice zones, polluted with heavy metals. the earth opening its mouth beneath them

took a bus through scranton the other week and learned about how mining underneath the city and surrounding areas has so hollowed out the earth that entire neighborhoods have been swallowed into the ground

i am thinking about Pennsylvania a great deal lately

PERPETUAL FLAME OF CENTRALIA, by LINGUA IGNOTA from the album SINNER GET READY

it's time to yet again listen to SINNER GET READY

On the Gaza flotilla live stream, one by one, boats are intercepted by IDF & blasted with water cannons until comms are jammed & the feed for each boat goes down.

Israel is illegally kidnapping civilians on international waters, & they're preventing the world from witnessing.

I follow my knowledge to neck solar plexus waist spoon-hips pale thighs. And so follows the sun in hasty afterwards. A small opacity of lies between our bodies: mine & theirs & rayoflight’s. When I bow service in the shadow of our name we drapes me in their clothing. When I kiss their feet they render us a broken prince.

Pronouns are erotic, though this is difficult to notice still harder to admit: I: am: I: a narrow panic, lightness tightened to a throaty vowel. This, I am told, her body does, spoons favor from my open mouth. Snaps elastics of my flesh. I do not want to know anymore, third penitent in the booth of our name. But my sun is just a star, turning at the horror of our closeness.

i believe in them

a 80's corporate building stands towering facelessly over a residence inn, before which stretches a bleak expanse of parking lot

are you coming to the tower? surely you also hear its summoning call

Agreed. I love horror anthologies and this is one of my favorites.
