No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive. Love & solidarity, today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.

Trying to write down everything, as much as possible. Our narratives and stories are so important, especially right now as histories, experiences, and resistances are being scrubbed and overwritten.

I have never felt so excited about writing poetry as I do when collaborating with other artists and poets. Honestly, coming back to the page on my own this morning after working on a collaboration is actually a struggle.
