the eragon movie was flop and i suspect we’ll get an amazon prime series that’ll be canceled after 2 seasons. apple tv should do it cuz they tend not to cancel things right away

it’s the era of nostalgia and my fave childhood series can’t return (Guardians of Ga’Hoole) because i think kathryn lasky killed the gd world with an earthquake that killed all the silly owls

i think a lot about how i share my heart. i love to, it’s so sacred and magical. for a foster kid to peel back those layers and let others peer in. what delight in getting to be undone by another, over and over again.

jaye simpson @jayesimpson.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

i have to have some chats soon about some stuff but polyamory is about communication and sharing hearts so there will always be bumbles and bumps. but i loved the journey and the trip. there was so so so much magic!

🐺 New! The ferocious & vulnerable poems of #abodymoretolerable, the latest collection by @jayesimpson.bsky.social, are about redefining acts of creation, destruction, deconstruction & recreation, from a singular Indigiqueer POV. 👉 Out now in Canada (USA April 15, 2025): tinyurl.com/abodymoretol...

The cover of the book "a body more tolerable" by jaye simpson, with stacked text above reading, "Happy book birthday!", along with the book title and author's name. Below, footer text lists the publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press, and their website, arsenal pulp dot com.

On the book cover, two wolves are locked in an aggressive embrace, each one biting down on the other’s shoulder. Above them is the book title, “a body more tolerable,” in a cursive font. In the bottom right corner is the word “poems” and the author’s name, “jaye simpson.” The cover is illustrated in a dynamic style with an overall colour cast of purple, orange, and burgundy.
