Rockin' my calico locs like I did last night's open mic lmao. Had a blast reading and heard some amazing work as well.
A big kickoff for this being the invocation of joy/celebratory ethos that's in footnote 26. And 'joy' as a philosophy, a revolutionary praxis, etc. is something oft debated among marginalized groups and those affected by these troubling times.
Me when I explain that i'm done with simple platitudes and "mentorship." Make women's lives easier or fuck off. Especially black women's, trans women's, and black trans women's!
Guess who's one lucky bitch lmao!!! My gf already wants to borrow this from me, and I only just bought it. #LongLiveTransLiterature
Finally crossed a dream off my bucket list: FIRING GUNS! I feel great having done it. Plus, I wasnt that bad a shot ;3
Did some silly booksmaxxing with my gf yesterday before reading at this town's premier kinky queer open mic that same evening.
A fairy and her dog ringing in the end of #LesbianVisibilityWeek with Honeymee~
For lack of better judgement, behold video taken of my first open mic experience. #nationalpoetrymonth
Bsky gets the rare Malaika selfie. Wanted to give myself twin tails briefly. Rockin' that Frieren cut ya feel lmao
Cracking open my bsky block to share my initial thoughts upon finishing Half His Age. I deeply deeply enjoyed this book. I may need to have a good cry after.
Figured i might as well share my first poem of the new year properly, lol. Here's to a 2026 in which i'll continue to write mystical lesbian poetry the best way I can.
This whole segment was delightful in describing cis despicability and the movements of transmisogyny. I love every time trans women make art that lays this out, staring the world in the face to say that we see you and you are not slick.
Feeling cute. Tried doing nt makeup for the first time in a minute, and like I feel sexy as hell!!
A foul white mark on an otherwise decent day (ignoring chronic pain issues that took me out). Hate drive-by misgendering.
Had breakfast with the partner, and now body doubling with each other to complete some tasks~
