You're a rockstar
The unobtainable
Prodigal son
I hope like Icarus
You'll fly
Into the sun
Your false wings of wax
Melting boiling skin
& splintered pride
I'd love to watch you spin
Down into the ocean
& see you let go
I won't #regret
You swallowing seawater
As chosen poison

I hate to put myself on blast (we hates it...), but I'm having major surgery on Dec 23 & will be out of work with no paid leave. Support with rent, groceries, or recovery costs would mean so much!

A night of #linoprint making! I've got a market coming up next Saturday and I'm getting some new prints done for it.

Estrangement isn’t an epidemic, it's a consequence
Its choices manifest
It's painful to grieve someone alive
& you grieve them for the cruelty they dealt you
I'm #learning that #health is a priority
& the #last breaths of those with #yellowing teeth & bile for words
Don't #matter

I don't imagine
Lavender seeing
its #reflection,
but I imagine
if such a plant
had a pair of eyes
it would marvel
at its imperfections
& still find
in its heart
to forgive us
for our transgressions—
for plucking it away
so its grace lingers
as we hope we do
among fields of humans

I hope one day
On Hallows Eve night
I'll find you
On the #deck
Overlooking the city
Pressed on me
Like a ghost
We'll be spirits
Released from
Wine bottles
Joy will carry
Sorrows will drown
We'll act like fools
Cause you
Make me feel
Like it's #Halloween
Every night

If you pay for Harry Potter merch, items, you pay JK Rowling, and you are paying her advocacy against trans people.
And fuck you for it. Fuck. You.

The masses lack spirit,
& no #energy
to face a mad #king,
as their home is pillaged
by lies that
helped them sleep
for generations.
The crown rots.
The roots remember.
The tree of liberty
calls for blood.
The soil drinks what's owed,
debts must be paid,
to lift the curse.

She's so pretty & the softest acrylic I've ever touched 😍 but J.F. Christ, it's a pain to hook with. There are so many wonderful color combos with this brand too 😭
I'd use natural fibers but unless I get a proper hook up, my broke arse is limited to gifts or thrift raids.

I don't think we'll answer if #androids dream of electric sheep—
but maybe they'll dream of #bands, of rhythm—
wires humming like strings,
music from servo & spark
just as we yearn to echo the womb, our blood, our mother's heart,
from when we were mere dreams with sound

There's no difference between a loan shark & a #lonewolf—both move to the rhythm of their own tails
Two beasts live in me:
one for the shallows, one for solid ground.
In the in-between, I make my stand.
On sea or land I pr(a/e)y.
I’m not evil—just born with sharp teeth.

To the #libertine who seduced me
I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart
For tearing hopes apart & rebooting my mind
The soot beneath my eyes is a warm blanket
& I'm no conquest for the taking
I applied pressure where you placed a torniquet
Now I'm master of my blood
