I have to eat Reese’s a certain way or I will be personally responsible for the heat death of the universe.

Just in case anyone was wondering what’s wrong with me.

FYI I have transitioned from my regularly scheduled insufferability to Taylor Swift album drop gargoyle brain abomination mode for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #taylorswift #thelifeofashowgirl

I just want to eat strawberries and read books in a world where everyone is safe. Instead I explain the difference between racism and prejudice and witness the aftermath of what bombs do to human bodies. #humanrights #wedeservebetter

so bizarre to watch a physics program from before the Higgs boson was discovered.

When our mouths met,
I tasted it—
the grudge on your lips.
The first omen wasn’t poison,
just the way that you kissed.

Our bodies made language,
our mouths filled with flames—
if only fire
had soft things to say.

excerpt, ‘the taking light’

excerpt, “pretty little labor machine”

I gave up wishing on stars,
In favor of engineering your dreams—
white picket fence,
a pretty little labor machine.

Made babies and forgot
I was supposed to eat.
Became just another way
to transfer heat.

poems my alter ego is working on:

dear gravity (you heavy bitch)
to my 12th house (landlord from hell)
dear chaos witch (valentine from a parallel dimension)
dear literary journal editor (i have submitted my entire personality, again)

I write grief like it’s a scientific method. this one is the control variable.

from my manuscript-in-progress: emotional physics.

#Like this if you’d #read #poetry about a #Gemini moon exiled to the 12th house, working doubles at a haunted Cheesecake Factory where she argues with ancient gods in the walk-in, dodges cryptic texts from the #zodiac #groupchat, and gets spiritually subtweeted by her #exes in the astral plane.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

#Mississippi doesn’t want to deport #immigrants, they want to pay bounty hunters to capture them, and then imprison (enslave) them for LIFE. Mississippi prisons run FARMS.

Last night,
you were tucked warm under her sheets—
while I swallowed fire, the pressure making diamonds of my teeth.
Images of you spiraling into a hotel bed
went spiraling through my head—
Is she my equal or opposite?
I perspire in infrared.

#Rereading 1984 to stay ahead on the #news bc at this point Orwell’s just giving us spoilers. Doublethink? #MAGA has it mastered. Newspeak? Sounds like his truth social drafts. Room 101? Probably filled with Diet Coke, classified documents, and a case of w/e #weird ass shade of foundation he wears.

I’m still hanging on,
Listening to all our songs—
Every iteration does damage double.
If I could empty my head, like a gun empties lead,
Maybe I could save myself a lot of trouble.

#booksky people, I just want you to know that when I see y’all’s gorgeous, perfectly curated, bookshelves I am both happy for you and consumed with envy. My poor #books are haphazardly stacked, double parked, or homeless and I have a lot of guilt about that. #📚 #reader #tbr

That feeling when you remember #borders are imaginary lines we drew on maps and we have the ability to provide a decent standard of living to literally everyone on #Earth, while reducing environmental damage but we don’t bc won’t someone think of the #billionares and the #shareholders!
