You're frozen. You kept yourself open, and they froze you. You loved them, wanted to make them into something more. How could they do this to you? Read "Tonic Immobility", my first short story in more than a year, for free: antarcticempire.net/stories/tonic.htm #writing #shortstory #experimental

The Vibes I bring to Bluesky

In more "things we don't tell cis people," a very large chunk of my socializing is spent convincing my friends to stay alive We've already been abandoned by this society and you really feel "all we have is each other" when literally all somebody has is you

CONGRATULATIONS, BRAZIL!!! 🥂

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

species-affirming HRT really needs to exist

The mantis is called the 'rice-pounding grasshopper' in Thailand (ตั๊กแตนตำข้าว), from the motion of its raptorial forelegs resembling the traditional manner of pounding rice to remove the husks. This one was drawn with this very brush.

I have a real hard time letting my friends and loved ones know that I'm not doing well So if you see this, hi, I'm not doing very well at the moment, and I'm sorry I said I was okay yesterday, because there's another new catastrophe as there always is

God I am so fucking angry Queer folks, tell your stories. Mainstream, independent, comics, zines, games, shorts, novels, film, whatever your medium whatever your genre There are increasingly fewer platforms for them, so it is more important than ever to make sure they get out into the world

makes me feel really safe in this world to have it repeatedly confirmed that the richest and most powerful people in existence can say literally any disgusting defamatory lies they want about a statistically poor marginalized group I belong to without receiving any significant pushback

Why do people keep saying "human artists, QRT with one art piece" I am clearly not a human. I am a mantis. Calling me a human is an insult to all mantids

Why am I so sensitive? Kids used to hurt spiders on purpose to make me upset in middle school

"But not all spiders!!" I sob, shaking, clutching copies of Children of Time and Charlotte's Web, desperately trying to reinforce my secondary identity as something kind and good in the face of overwhelming allegorical opposition

all the world's a web and as we pluck the strings we hear each other crying all the same what do i do if i'm a spider some other kind fighting with strands of my own maybe if we can talk build anew then eat away at a web we cannot walk am i a spider all the same #poetry
