You know it's really, really fucking hard being trans in a world that's trying to exterminate you!

It's so clear the part of the world that controls the levers of power fucking hates us and wants us to cease to exist and on the one hand I think we're going to win and on the other fuck it hurts living until then

I think some weird olfactory/sinus stuff is resulting in me hallucinating the smell of cigarette smoke and it’s been so weird! Over 24 hours straight of it so far. Wild.

Aw dang, I’m waitlisted for Tucson Zine Fest. We’ll see if anyone drops out, but either way, I’ll head down to check out all the cool zines folks have!

I really, really need to set up a super basic website but my brain is SO resistant to using a website builder like square space or whatevs. I haven’t touched my little neocities but I’d like to at least build it out enough to have a bio, a links page, and a portfolio sampling. Get on this, self!!!

I really need to make some zines about long COVID, dysautonomia, MCAS, PEM, and POTS. I really want more folks to be aware of how variable and weird these conditions are, and how complex it is to manage them! Maybe I’ll collab with my mom, since she’s in the thick of dealing with these rn.

Hey hey hey hey what if I become a tcg YouTuber who tracks the fluctuations in resale cost of cards but only cards that are utterly weird and worthless. I’m talking those weird horse jockey cards I bought a pack of. Garbage pail kids. Lara Croft tomb raider cards. I might need to do this…

Ah. Turns out I will not be getting a copy of He Used Thought as a Wife. Just got an email from the bookseller telling me they were mistaken about their stock and they’ve cancelled my order. Genuinely gutted over this, ugh.

Do you love zines and community? Do you want to help keep a vital third space alive during the inhospitable Phoenix, AZ summer? WIZD distributes zines and harm redux supplies, connects folks w mutual aid, is a respite for all from the deadly desert heat, and has saved my life. Please give and share!

Hearing someone in passing talk about making $19k on a Pokémon card (and complaining bc it went up to $150k five months later) is so deeply dissonant to my own financial situation that I feel like my head is spinning.

I must say, the writing in episode 10 of @murderbastard.bsky.social was especially visceral. I’m letting the imagery slip and slide around my mind. I’m especially fond of the strawberries of flesh, the water of the shower slicing at skin, and the woods by the hotel.

Is there a food more perfect, more appealing, than pan au chocolate? (Yes, but I love them a lot so allow me this hyperbole.)

We've prepared a zine version of our text "Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities," describing the dynamic and resilient system that people in the Twin Cities have developed to keep the pressure on ICE.

Please print and distribute!

Doug and Josh. You lit a fire in me with your song collaboration. I just did a collaboration with my brother and this is what we came up with. I wrote the song. He sang it and played his guitar. youtu.be/wl6BX11WEYY?...

I always come back to bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males [is] that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves."

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
