Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.
Been there

Inside me there are two warring selves: one is sober and only wants to watch good movies, and the other is high and only wants to watch bad movies.

my patience has increased but I will say, it is ok to have trouble reading, it is not ok to scream at people for things you imagined they said because you can't read what they actually said

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Holup... There's some part of me that feels guilty cuz it thinks I do this on purpose, because as I'm saying something stupid I usually KNOW it's dumb but I do it anyway, like, I'm conscious of the action but I can't actually stop myself from going through with it... *wheeze* this is ADHD isn't it.
I'm the person who says some non-sequitur in conversation and then is immediately embarrassed because it was an inside joke between me and 1-5 other people.

I'm sorry, I know you probably think I'm cringe because the Internet has rotted my brain, but please understand that my whole family communicates like at minimum 30% of our vocabulary is composed of cultural references and trivia.

A great thing about having rabbits is you can replace the word "booty" with "bunny" and have a large pool of funny songs to sing to your rabbit when nobody else is around.

I decided to do a new printing of Eat Me while I still can. We don't know if/when work like this will be outlawed, but physical copies survive as websites go dark.

This is literal food porn. It's very silly smut. Preorder through Nov 30. Ships in Jan.

I returned to Mt Tomah yesterday. The wattlebirds left the Puya flowers unguarded for a few minutes and this Eastern Spinebill managed to slip in under the RADAR.
