New shirt just arrived—snagged it from Green Pea Press. Proceeds go to Huntsville’s Free LGBTQ+ Closet. Very comfy. Needed a good shirt to wear during next month’s Ghoulish Book Festival and this felt perfect.

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

prayers for me please, I genuinely believe I am being discriminated against and targeted close to home. I rarely get to this conclusion but the way I’ve been treated no matter how considerate I am or how much I communicate has been really bizarre.

Listen to me... DO NOT stop having fun & engaging in joyful activities - ESPECIALLY anything that is community building. If you have NOTHING to look forward to that's when we get increases in self-harm & suicide. Do not shame ppl for taking breaks & having fun. Encourage it.

I can’t get the Chinese concepts of “phoenix couple” (wlw relationships) and “zhiyin” (queerplatonic soulmate, “one who understands my songs”) out of my head. 🐦‍🔥 🎶 I’ve incorporated both into my aroace retelling of Lady White Snake meets Aladdin. 🐍🧞‍♂️ 🌅

maturity is realizing that in The Swan Princess, Derek’s arc is going from “what else IS there” to “oh shit I couldn’t even tell her apart from the doppelgänger, I need to do better”

So incredibly heartened by my colleagues who are fighting like hell for a world where people have access to the arts and humanities, not because it serves STEM, but because this is about nourishing our humanity

This reminds me of when I showed My Neighbor Totoro to my roommate for the first time and he was waiting for the other shoe to drop, expecting a horror.

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

It’s good to love mathematics and also makeup. It’s good to read the classics and watch Muppet movies. It’s good to see Shakespeare plays and collect graphic novels. It’s good to be curious about the world and open to new things without self-imposed limitations.

As Aromantic Awareness Week comes to a close, I want to express solidarity for my trans siblings. Their rights are under assault. They shouldn't have to stand alone. Queerness is better with all of us together inside it.
