I was walking in an antique land late one night
When my eyes beheld such an eerie sight
Two vast and trunkless legs began to rise
Near them on the sand a shattered visage lies
(Ozymandi-AS) OzyMANdias
(Ozymandi-AS) He was a graveyard smash
(Ozymandi-AS) No thing beside remains
(Ozymandi-AS) Ozyman-

(Ozymandi-AS) Ozyman-
Me and my boys went to a strange LAND
The sun beat down on the desert SAND
My man Ad-rock turned to us and said
Yo, you two see that BIG-ASS HEAD?
We approached this ancient, beat up MASS
We learned his name was OZYMANDIAS
A sign said take a look AND DESPAIR
But we saw no works, nothing was THERE

dias does what no mortal can
and his works? are they there?
no, but maybe still despair

Hello everybody!
As some of you may know, my partner and I are planning a pretty big move. Without going into too much detail, this move will be the beginning of a much needed healing journey for both of us.

fuck every single person who gets angry at trans people for criticizing people like Gavin Newsom and claiming that we're doing purity politics. the anti-trans movement is THE issue leading the fascist charge. if you are unable to hold an extremely hard line on this, you lose literally everything.
