the right means "sexual intercourse" and i'm just wondering did this dude think some chinese lady would read it and tell him "me so horny" the left just says "respect" so at least there's some of it in writing.

it's not what it looks like. unless you think it's a bag of homemade falafel, in which case it's exactly what you think it looks like.

An About page with picture of Mitchell Ny dressed in the height of fashion. The description reads: "Mitchell Ny is a Cambodian-Taiwanese writer based in Southern California. He writes to wring from the mess: the scrappy, the ugly, and the brazenly beautiful.
He is a healthcare actuary by trade, which just means he’s buried in spreadsheets all day trying to make the numbers serve the people, rather than the other way around. In the evening, he stows away the mathbrain and writes. He also enjoys boxing, ceramics, making music, and cooking.
He still feels pretty awkward writing about himself in third person. But that's the norm in the lit scene, apparently."

for those who don't know, which is everybody, outside of writing and actuary-ing one of my passions is boxing. i lucked tf out today hanging out outside the world famous Peacock Gym and managed to get work in with a pro, Alex Mercean, and to train with Peter Stanley.

Machine oil skitters Across weld joints, stitches— On the android’s face. They do dream of electric sheep, and shears to gather steel wool. To abrade the rust off their chin. Longing to chafe and raw like flesh. Casting aside steel for steel to harvest organika. Our wet bionic skins. #vss365

radiant choco-plaqued grin zaza valkries descend to hush at my earache to swaddle my temples to tell me: bliss is chocolate-flavored. #brownie gunk in the pocket of my cheek is effigy. for my ticket from the other side. #vss365 #poetry

Inviolable Hum, Seraphic Hum! I wait for you in a box. My lungs paper thin from compression. I knock for you from my box. My eyes closed or open— In this pitch. I #hum back for your return. My breath is recycled. Prudently. All to learn I’m captive and You, a neon lamp. #vss365 #poetry

I imagine that under her skin is a crucible. Blood flows like thin magma. From gigapascals of pressure her bones press into #sapphire. Selectively innervated by iron and titanium. Rocks are brittle but she is gem. And she deliberates: “Precious” is not synonymous to “delicate.” #vss365

How gingerly a sparrow picks flesh in ribbons lacing bone. How precariously do we hold the bird in a fist as we raise them? How certainly do we pluck from them their plumage & pinfeathers through downy undercoat & crested crown for meat & molt when all the seeds have gone? #vss365 #poetry

The band of my Moleskine. Stretched to fatigue to contain pages: bloated by ink and graphite, bursting at the seams with blood and salt. Palpitations through finger and fine nibs; Longing for the innocence and chastenedness of shrinkwrap, irrevocably torn. Oh, what have I done? #vss365

Doc exited the Hypermacroscope. “Mona, I saw it.” “What? Let me—” “We are tiny little guys on worm shit after all. Look, how its cavity drags along the orbital paths of the planets.” The Great Galactic Worm birthed planets from its Great #Wormhole. Stars from spicy stardust. #vss365 #weirdlit

Dew on the bell of my euphonium. Pistons gleaming, My scalp is steaming. Tchaikovsky is intense, yes. I’m chastened by black dots that pepper the score. I’d spill my guts But the #cummerbund obstructs my evisceration. So I shed it— Tux and all. To play peashooter with the Duke. #vss365

Baby-blue jeans fly— Carrying the quiver between your thighs. Ground convulses to impetuous bare feet. Socks, #boxers, wardrobes cascade— glittering shrapnel and petals. & the world shudders at our brisance. Scattered outfits remain— & the musk of copper, salt, and steam. #vss365

Hi👋 I'm a real person! Figured I can share some less writerly stuff on my Bluesky (not X). Here are some of my best Husbento I made recently 🥰 Husbento noun | /hʌzˈbɛntoʊ/ A bento box meal prepared by a husband for his spouse; portmanteau of "husband" and "bento". #bento #foodie #foodsky

Today, I wanted to write a sonnet. Here's how it went:

My #heel strikes pavement. Chorus—with a hundred thousand others. To see if you’d notice we’ve noticed Bodies washed up on foreign shores. Tinnitus blooms into vertigo from our own shouting. Poppies in the flour like they traded poppies for tea. How much louder do we need to be? #vss365
