#poetry fans may like my current thing, which is sticking down the little words and phrases I use for my cut up poems. I think it'll make it easier for me to search for the right words. hey, why not write a poem using these? either in cut up style or as prompts? if you do, please share with me! 🥰

Your Party sent this email after Zohran won New York. It's funny but actually so not funny because Your Party so far has been both truly shambolic and riddled with transphobia. Your politics won't win like that because I'll vote Green thanks x
