I wrote a poem just before my bday. Here it is along with a gummy bear catching the light beautifully.
Wanna find blogs that aren't super motivational 'I can make you 100k richer' or platitudes about writing. Probs asking too much of substak...reckon bsky has it though *prays and searches*

Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Kalle Neukölln is not creepy in that exciting atmospheric thrills way, it's creepy in the sad attempts of property moguls trying to make something 'cool' and it staying empty for months. Devoid of any character. Actually impressive to achieve that

REVEALED: Deputy Director of ICE was sent by the ADL for training with the Israeli military - JVP
Why does the ADL protest Trump’s family separation policies, while also sending ICE officers for training in Israel?

Disgusted by the UK Supreme Court ruling today. Trans women are women. Respect queer bodies and give them freedom and justice. I stand in solidarity with trans people and will build my worlds accordingly.
