so weird to work at a place where i don’t have a lot of fucking around time. partially because i’m training and shadowing it’s hard to find lil pockets. will probably be back on the internet more regularly during my recovery

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

anyway i just saw a very hateful post that had a lot of cruel things to say about nb people afab. still kind of in shock about it, frankly. i understand why the irony is unheard by op, but at a certain point it reaches absurd levels

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

Honored to have a new poem, “An Evening Discussion” in Poem-a-Day. This one’s about homophobia, societal and internalized, and different methods of responding. Also, pimples & Planet Fitness. Also, tenderness. Read without swiping + hear me read it: poets.org/poem/evening...
What if we got a gun? I whispered
from my pillow to you on yours.
I’m so against it in theory, I continued,
but in practice, & these days …
                        Then I burst, became
a wave of laughter, & you joined me.
We were a tidal giggle. & then I felt a huge
wobble, some cosmic shudders, perhaps from
a god with skin problems
unresolved from adolescence.
Unreleased from adolescence,
childhood, I saw how I was spiritually
still in uncomfortable overalls & overall over
none of it.You too, it seemed, as what you
then said was, What if
I became a bodybuilder? You said,
you spoke this to me
at normal volume like it was regular info,
like we were at Planet Fitness or in Galaxy
Muscle, not in our bedroom, our bed.
What if, you said, I bodybuilt so good,
so Arnold, to the point of the world turning
totally unhomophobic? Not
a speck of homophobia left, not one
subatomic particle a miserable
homophobe, the whole damn globe,
amazing, right?
             & I said, Or I could become a stronger
writer, more cutting
in my musings, more ferocious
in my music?
In bed, in response, you looked at me
fondly, probably the fondest
you’ve ever looked at me, & said, Baby.
You will. But how about we do both?

Both? I asked. Writing & bodybuilding?
Writing, you said, & the gun.

but also the reality of a lot of nb folks is not being able to exist in the world without being shoved into the M box or the F box. medically. legally. socially. in theory and in practice. stating that isn’t trying to take away from the pain & difficulty our binary trans siblings experience.
030
grey @aliengenic.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
arguments and theories about who’s “more radical” or “more transgressive” or “more oppressed” between binary trans folks & nonbinary people get us fucking nowhere. and it’s exhausting. our oppression & experience is *different* and also the same.

grey @aliengenic.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
nonbinary people aren’t being legislated against specifically is because existing legislation primarily enforces the gender binary. they don’t need to do *more* it’s already been done.
