Excited to have three poems from my manuscript, A Tender Wilderness, in @villaineralit.bsky.social today. I wrote these in 2021 when I was reckoning with the various “villains” I’d cast in my life, including myself. Thanks for giving these a home, @charlesjensen.bsky.social 🖤🔪

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up?

if you, like me, have historically been ambivalent & inconsistent about wearing sunscreen, might i suggest getting many tattoos that you will then want to protect?

RFK Jr. to End 'Godsend' Narcan Program That Helped Reduce Overdose Deaths Despite His Past Heroin Addiction Despite overcoming heroin addiction himself, RFK Jr. is backing plans to cut a critical Narcan program that helped reduce overdose deaths.

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

the artist said i sat really well & another artist in the shop said i “should feel like a badass” given the location 😇😇

i have 30+ tattoos & this is truly one of the toughest spots. i swore so much. also involuntarily laughed at one point because i could feel my bones vibrating from the machine???

Starting a literary mag is the “I got bangs” of writer mental health

if you honk at me the second the light turns green, you’re gonna get the unhealed version of me

if players want to criticize someone’s game play, criticize someone’s game play. if players want to point out “traitorous” behavior, point it out. that’s the game, after all. but the shit Danielle trotted out was fucked up.

i’ve seen some discourse re Carolyn & Danielle on The Traitors. i obviously concur that it’s just a game, & also would like to acknowledge that Danielle employed explicitly ableist & sanist rhetoric in her takedown of Carolyn — if it’s “just a game,” let’s not perpetuate that kind of shit.

last night’s outfit was cute

i love doing life with you, @austho.bsky.social 💗💗💗

i’m certainly watching 👀👀

went to the gym and, according to the tv, there’s an important sports game happening. who knew.

So many tasty things out there and some people still choose the bottom of Elon’s boot.
