If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

Yes, MAGA women. Don't vote against your gender's own rights. They don't give a fuck about you, either.

as the world slowly falls apart, i'm getting my second manuscript together. i guess i'll just make art because i don't know what else to do. also, i've recorded more songs. i don't know if i'll ever share them.

I remember hearing about Jon Stewart fighting for the survivors and the families of the 9/11 first responders. It's amazing that Mayor Mamdani joined him in his advocacy to discover the truth. These are real heroes, both of them.

i wake up every day, try to find a reason to keep breathing and fail miserably. btw, hayden was the same age as me. i understand her level of despair and hopelessness. it is every day for me. i don't want to be here anymore.

That's the problem with America. Too many people are cool with totally fucked up things going on, as long as it doesn't affect them personally.

i like it here and all, but, i really just talk to myself, which in all honesty, is something that seems to happen in every space i float in and out of. it's why i can never get comfortable anywhere. i don't know why i bother.

it would be really great if someone were moved by something i created. connection is so important. the things i write and the songs i create are such a deep part of me. i know i ask for a lot sometimes, but i swear, i'm very low maintenance. ok, back to crying now.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

i've recorded between 10-15 songs for a project i've yet to finish, but i don't think it's going to see the light of day. i can't just let it sit there unheard after i've put it out into the world. i've been having regrets about my chapbook, too. this isn't about sales. it's about being heard.

Al Gore was right about everything. The Republicans made certain that he wasn't elected. Those same people are responsible for DJT and his ilk. We are serious trouble.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

Nemophila bloom season has begun in Japan. Every spring, the fields of Hitachinaki Park are transformed into a blanket of blue, where over 5 million delicate blue flowers bloom, creating a "sky beneath your feet" effect.😍 Good image for Bluesky .

Trump says we all must resolve our differences peacefully yet he considers half of America his enemies who need to be eradicated. He is the war monger calling for violence against anyone who disagrees with him. The violence in America comes from him and his supporters.

I think it's very telling that when news breaks of a "rape academy" online, people are questioning the number of visitors to the site rather than being entirely outraged by it. As a victim of SA, it just nauseates me. How do we, as women, continue to go on in this world??

In order to preserve what's left of my sanity, I have to avoid the news as much as possible and just immerse myself in books. I also need to refocus on my writing. It used to just flow out of me, and now, I can't even cry, let alone write. I'm so very alone.

Quote from Barry Goldwater: "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

I wish this emptiness inside me would vacate. I don't think it ever will. It has been a terrible week in my head. I keep recording songs like anyone will ever hear them but me, just like my poems. Existence without meaning is just existence.

I've been recording some of my poems as songs, and it's going better than expected. I also recorded three covers. My favorite is the Quasi cover. I don't know how I feel about sharing just yet, but I almost feel like a proper musician.
