I wrote a poetry collection. God That Sucked is an ongoing release at godthatsucked.substack.com.

God That Sucked explores topics of grief, depression, and healing while coming to terms with gender, sexuality, and religion in a tumultuous time.

You should read it.

I submitted 7 poems and a handful of photos yesterday to a couple of magazines. Here’s hoping 🤞🏻

“Loving someone is never a waste when it opens you up to worlds in areas of yourself previously found barren.”

In my newest Substack article I discuss what it was like to end a friendship of over twenty years.

“The author of course viewed his two close friends as brothers.”

They’re fucking in front of him while he avidly watches from two feet away. People should not be allowed to review books if they’re going to be so obtuse.

Getting real tired of people asking me, an artist, why I hate AI so much. Since the art argument isn’t breaking through, I’ll leave a quote here instead

It’s so loud on this bus that I feel like I could have a seizure. This is my official complaint of drunken tourist revelry.

An article about burnout, hopelessness, and how students, minorities, and the disadvantaged have long been the Canaries-in-the-Coalmine, warning us of our decent into fascism.

PLUS letting you know how you can begin to help.

"No disabled people use this so why do we need to make it more accessible?"

Have you ever considered that the very reason they're not using it, is because it's inaccessible?

And even if no disabled people do use it, that's not an excuse imo. Accessibility should be standard.

There’s something so jarring about blocking an account the first time I see them because I think a joke they made was kind of suspicious in tone

“I don’t know” is out.

“I just fainted twenty minutes ago and I can’t be fucked to recall” is in.

Publishing your creative goal before it’s finished isn’t a mistake, it’s momentum.

Post your progress. Show your rough drafts. Let people in.

You don’t build a community by dropping a perfect product out of nowhere, you build it by letting others watch & help you build.

Anyone else start #writing fanfiction of their original works when they get bored/stuck with their #wip?

Sometimes the L Word is just a normal show about lesbians (I love this show). Sometimes the L Word is a bizarre hypnotic art film (I *really* love this show).
