the defiance and pain of queer being

Posted on 22 January 2024

We are so beautiful. Even as we dance and glitter and breathe an air maybe only temporarily free, we are beautiful. So long as we exist, we will always be light...

I am one with my queerness and my queerness is with me

Posted on 1 June 2023

I love you, my siblings. My family. My dearest friends.

fragments of self

Posted on 30 May 2023

The self that exists in meatspace and on the internet has become fragmented in a way that deeply upsets me.

I write what hurts my feelings

Posted on 25 April 2023

The pain leads me to what is true.

fight like hell for the living

It is never far from my thoughts that some of us have already said our last words to those who are beloved.

ugh

Posted on 4 January 2023

I have been in peri-menopause for a while now, at least three years, I think? Maybe more? I should be keeping better track.

CURRENTLY READING:

I am on StoryGraph tracking my reading and the reading challenges I've joined. You can go to my StoryGraph profile if you want to see what kind of reading I'm doing right now.

CURRENTLY WATCHING:

I am using MyDramaList now! Here's my MDL profile and my MDL watchlists. I recommend looking at my 2025 watchlist to see what I've watched already and what's on my massive personal wishlist for the year.

It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.

-- excerpt from The Dispossessed: an Ambiguous Utopia by Ursula K. LeGuin
