As sort of an interesting companion piece to the whole liberal kid cutting off their parents discourse, I found this piece about surviving christian education as a queer person to be really interesting. sojo.net/articles/opi...

I know this is not a unique story, and many young queer Christians are sent to these institutions every year. Sometimes, parents send their kids to these colleges in the hopes that these institutions will “fix” their kid’s sexuality. This is something many people do not understand: Why would a queer person subject themselves to somewhere like Bob Jones University? For many, there is no other choice. Financially dependent on their parents and sheltered as a child from the outside world, these young adults are closed off to the world, and forsaking their parents’ demands means losing everything.

Progressive churches emphasizing LGBTQ-affirming messages is a good start, Oisín Rowe writes at @sojo.net. “But as the US gov’t escalates its discrimination against trans people, it is also necessary that religious communities escalate their support of the trans community.” sojo.net/articles/opi...

Being trans, I romanticize survival. I romanticize aging. I want to own a house with partner with a porch. I want to grow old. That’s my fucking agenda.

"Once I was home to a little ant, he swallowed my bones. Built a little city. More crawled in. They made me warm in winter. Little curling creatures. I said, soak more from soil, make each splinter firmer. My god we grow." - Oisín Rowe (@orowe.bsky.social) voicemailpoems.org/2025/05/13/i...

My newest collection is almost here! Here's a sample poem from Big Money Porno Mommy. Please consider pre-ordering at the link below to support me and @gameoverbooks.bsky.social if you can! Or share! Thank youuu www.gameoverbooks.com/store/p/big-...

a book cover with balloon text with fleshy skin-like texture reads "big money porno mommy". the letters are squished together like fat rolls and there are details such as a thumbnail, moles, a bellybutton, and a tuft of hair growing from the words. in plain orange text below it reads "poems" and below that it reads "catherine weiss". the background is a bright orange to pink gradient.

black text of poem on white background. text reads:

BULLY

when my husband says it’s because
i’m a good person that i let you in again
i want to tell him he doesn’t understand me
like you do. all the monsters under my bed
are just men doing their best.
i can sense your disappointment.
your life is shitty but so is your letter to the editor.
no, you can’t reject a rejection.
there is no story of us. i know you
loved to hurt me. i can see you’re still trying.
maybe you’re right. maybe once
our sorrows touched elbows.
but i’m better now. happier than you—you,
moth caught in a rainstorm, instrument
of misery. i don’t want to know you anymore
because you’re mean, soft-mean.
a loud cat in an empty house, the obvious twist
to a book i’ve long since put down.
