Me in 2023: I don’t know if I’m trans enough to write this MC. Do I even have a gender? What IS gender really? Me in 2026 as my friends tell me all the ways I’m masculine and call me he/him: …Oh. 🥹 Turns out I’ve always been Toast.

I can actually hold conversations with people about anything and everything (not even queer-related stuff!) and it’s EASY?! It’s like discovering colors exist for the first time

I spent 36 of my 38 years feeling like an alien who couldn’t relate with/be relatable to humans. Then I moved to Vermont and became enmeshed with the local queer community. Suddenly human interaction is energizing instead of exhausting?!

I blinked and it's August 💀 At the end of this month, I start the teaching part of my full-time teaching position, the house I'm living in goes up for sale, meaning I need to move and my commute will double, and I have a choir concert. Also I may or may not be releasing a book this fall.

Sometimes self-care is rewatching The Mummy (1999) not for the plot, but just because everyone is so pretty Also I really enjoy Beni and he should have gotten redemption, that is a hill

I love Vermont and my Vermonter therapist because I mentioned I was exploring my gender(s) again and he legit suggested I try out drag. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SUGGEST THIS TO ME BEFORE 😮

Having decided to self-publish, I’m well aware that I should be online attempting to be popular and relatable more but honestly I’m too busy switching jobs and having a social life and dressing up all fancy to go on picnics

I will not accept an argument that art and creativity have been uniquely democratised in the last few years since the invention of genAI. What a disservice to human history. How little regard you must have for the billions of souls that struggled through unimaginable suffering to express themselves.

The more I play around with the masc side of gender, the more annoyed I get. You mean men got to have pants with STANDARDIZED sizes that FIT WELL the whole time? Y’all had deodorants that smell GOOD instead of powdery and sneeze-inducing and DON’T STAIN YOUR CLOTHES all along?!

I seem to have traded the "types into the void" aspect of my identity for a "scours social media for irl local events to drag my friends to" habit and yes, my therapist *is* proud of me

The millennial urge to google any and every question you have because the internet has always been there for you but the question is "should I make this very specific change to my unpublished manuscript that literally 7 people have ever read" 💀

I'm an AFAB living in the US. Hourglass figure. And the best-fitting pants I own? The ones with roomy but invisible pockets, no back-gap, and the perfect taper? That sit at just the right height on my hips? Made from the most comfy material? I found in the men's section of a thrift shop yesterday.

Me, having invited friends over for dinner on Sunday and realizing I don’t have chairs: omg I can set it up kotatsu-style! Me two minutes later upon remembering that some people like back support: omg I have to dig out the chairs 😭

“Yeah you’re really good at spiraling” lol thanks man Knife-sharp validation is my therapist’s brand for sure 😆

May Zullino @mayzullinowrites.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Just accepting the inevitability that when my therapist asks me how I’m doing in our session today I will have no answer but “I am in the bittersweet spiral” and boy is that going to start a conversation

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself

Ah 🙈 Nah, I just like being able to do things for people—most of my life, I haven’t been able to. I’m really just starting small here and hoping that some day I’ll be in a position to actually be a good friend But you’re right that my friends are amazing, I love them so much!

Sooo... I know I just released a new book 30 days ago. But... check out what's coming from Neon Hemlock at the end of April. I just posted a sample chapter at my patreon if you want a taste: www.patreon.com/post...

The mystery of the bitten peach, a lesbian time travel romance mystery. By Cecilia Tan. “Full of queerness, generative solidarity, and gently profound insights into love and choice, Tan’s tale goes down smoothly but its wisdom lingers. Not to be missed.”

My V-Day gifts for friends this year were pana cotta with berry compote and coffee jelly with milk jelly on top. And I realized halfway through (re)doing the coffee that all the recipients shared a certain identity so I went all out 🩵🤍🩷
