As long as socially constructed gender norms have existed, there have been people who refuse to be constrained by them, and those people have been a force for liberation.

We have prepared a new poster drawing on centuries-old art and poetry to celebrate this.

crimethinc.com/posters/for-...

🏴🏳️‍⚧️
A poster with a person of indeterminate gender shaking stars from their fingertips, with this text: For Spirits, when they please, Can either sex assume, or both And works of love or enmity fulfill.

A piece of mine that was accepted by a publication that ended up ghosting me has gotten picked up by an even better home 🏡 it’s such a weird feeling to treat a poem like a person—transient, subject to abandonment and re-belonging. This one belongs 💞

Get yourself good and tired, or— maybe you live in a constant state of exhaustion, or— maybe you have an abundance of energy and can’t just run out of it, or— wait for tiredness to come upon you.

Another post about grief! “Maybe there’s a reason why certain stories move through time, and sometimes it’s not because these stories serve some evil, oppressive power-building scheme. Sometimes it’s because they’re medicine, or they make you look for the healing, the medicine in your life.”
