Make sure you’re following Salon Sinister so you can be among the first to read my newest poems when the inaugural issue is released later this summer! 💚

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The enemy of my enemy still did two Nazi salutes.

The thing about two queer people who pass as straight being married is that every Pride month we are asked to explain the dynamics of our relationship to complete strangers.

I keep thinking about what I had to go through to find my voice as a writer, and in a way- I’m grateful for that terrible night because I wouldn’t be the poet I am without it. I hope the person who wanted to be my muse so badly she destroyed herself and our friendship has found the love she deserves

Realizing that I never posted about having work accepted to @ewhag.com’s Salon Sinister! It’s a queer literary magazine & I am so happy to have found a home for the poems I submitted. My work over the last few years has been my most personal yet, & to know that other people respect it means so much

Good morning- our coffee pot exploded coffee grounds everywhere this morning

Laying in bed with the windows open and I can hear something creeping through the bushes I wonder what sort of creature is gracing us with its presence rn

Five favorite black & white movies: Sabrina The Haunting Casablanca Funny Face Psycho

My partner is v into Dropout TV rn and we watched the BtVS episode of Um Actually together and there were several instances of incorrect fact checking- some were caught o the show and some weren’t, two that weren’t were about Willow Rosenberg outfits and I *knew* the answers were wrong

Indiana State University removes ‘African American’ from culture center, deletes information on mission indianapublicmedia.org/news/isu-rem... “The mission of the center was to teach about the African American culture to everyone, regardless of race, because Black history is everyone's history.”

I hope I look like I love pronouns and abortions. I want people to look at me and say, “damn, that lady loves autonomy.”

Motherhood really does cause amnesia because you really do forget how hard it is until you’re babysitting and said baby is grumpy and won’t stop crying or nap and now you’re doing everything one handed with a screaming time bomb in the other arm

I used to chronically share my feelings on Twitter. I don’t feel that need here. And maybe it’s because this app feels different. Or maybe it’s because of therapy. Or maybe it’s just because what we’re dealing with is just so hard and scary that talking about it so openly feels too vulnerable

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, a fire completely engulfed the estate burning it to the ground. The 10 fire departments present on the scene couldn’t contain it. Officials say the cause was electrical but we know better. The ancestors have been working overtime.

I cannot believe this made it to print. Or that a writer would attach their name to it. Knowing the content you’re reviewing or recommending to readers is something I inherently knew as a 16 year old girl, when I worked on my high school newspaper 15+ years ago.

One of my favorite tattoos comes from an artist who moved away and she’s moving back, but unfortunately she’s moving to a shop that I’m afraid to go to because my former best friend gets tattooed there (by an artist I introduced her to btw) 🙃

Yesterday was my former best friend’s birthday. I thought about reaching out and I probably would have if I had a way of contacting her. Instead I planted sunflowers in the yard where part of her love lies. I wrote so much that my hands cramped and my eyes stung with the tears I shed. I hope she-

The rest is confetti.

The idea that I have to be on multiple social media sites and constantly promoting myself and my work in order to be taken seriously as a poet is exhausting

TWO REMINDERS: 1. Mother's Day is Sunday. Do something nice for your mom (or for yourself if your mom isn't worth celebrating). 2. It's time for @nationalbailout.bsky.social's annual #FreeBlackMamas fundraiser to get Black women too poor to defend themselves out of jail and home with the kids.

Traveling to and from Indy multiple times this past week has been exhausting

Y'all, read this thread about the Irish music used in Sinners

We have so much going on that I forgot my little brother is having surgery today.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

I don’t know how much more I can take

Today has proven that it’s time to release what I’ve been holding on to

Hold your loved ones close friends

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally?

He is risen

I can’t stop thinking about Sinners

The US healthcare system is fucking evil.

“I knew you’d turn out to be fucking boring” Insane behavior 10/10

Off the internet until I watch the Yellowjackets finale 🫡

Okay #poetsky here is a 🪡 for excerpts of my poems:

Check out my article with the Quietus on Andrew Tate, young men, and the right-wing: thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Colly Strings is playing as the sun is setting as we drive through the Midwest and in this moment I am content.

It doesn’t even feel real.

Somebody is trying to scam me on tumblr by asking to make me their muse and offering to pay me to let them paint me lol
