I’ll be using this meme/video for the rest of my queer, nerdy life. 😂😂😂

Rejoice in small victories! Love wins. 🫶🏼

Good morning, y’all.

Remember to breathe, stretch, shake and let it roll.

It’s Monday, so protect your peace and plan your week accordingly.

No further notes.

November is a powerful witch.

She is too powerful for me. I gotta leave. 😂

I have to log out. I cannot stay on here all day. Why did God make me a man?!

That’s that TX thique.

Mannnn… 😮‍💨🫦

You’re right. What year are we in again?

Got me wanting to get up out this bed like:

You just gotta bend your knees and move that thang.

That’s what the comments on the video are saying, too. 😂

I just wanna make my “pum pum jump like spring be.”

Yes, Your Highness 🫡 (and shortness) 🤭.

I also love the terms “fun size” and chibi. They’re cutesy. ☺️

Yes! I wanted the climax to read more as revelation than failure.

We’ve all poured energy into people, only to discover there was a whole in the cup we poured into. So, we take our time, energy, and love elsewhere.

I’m glad it resonated with you. The lit nerd in me loves the technical breakdown.

Thank you, boo. I’ve honed my craft for many years and never shared my work outside of academic spaces. This is new for me. The feedback has been wonderful.

😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you, Rae-Rae! I appreciate you. 💙🩵

Omg! 😂

Thank you, boo. I wrote the metaphors to blend sensory language & intimacy, so readers could really step into my perspective. I wanted the emotion to move through service, desire, loss, and finally, reclaiming power. 💙🩵

And thank you for reading! 🫶🏼✨ Art is a sensitive thing. I’m still not used to sharing it in full with the general public.

I appreciate the thoughtful literary analysis! It took years to hone my craft, and I’m still experimenting with different styles. I’ve been obsessed with Southern Gothic imagery lately, pulling a lot of influence from Langston Hughes and Yusef Komunyakaa.

Patrick, this means a lot! I’m honestly beaming. I’ve been a lit nerd my whole life, so I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. 🙌🏽✨ In another life, I would’ve been an English professor.

This will make for an interesting story at a random social event. 🤭

Thank you. I’m really irritated.

ALL OF THIS!!! This is my worst fear come to life. I always worried I’d turn into the cranky old man who thinks the new generation of “medical professionals” got their degrees by cutting corners. 😩

😂 Good afternoon!

Hey! 👋🏽
