I am aware that I am extraordinarily blessed to still be employed as a person with near crippling CPTSD but also my job right now is largely trying to figure out how to tell another department enough info to do their job but not enough to fuck up their job and I am TIRED.

pink in the night (2019)

lyric comic to pink in the night, by mitski. page 1 text: and i know i've kissed you before, but i didn't do it right. scene 1: a little boy and girl are sitting in the rain. the boy wipes away tears, having tripped and scratched a knee. the girl leans forward to kiss the small wound. scene 2: the two friends are in elementary school, holding hands. the boy looks at a picture depicting a mom, dad, and child.

page 2 text: can i try again, try again, try again. scene 1: high school. they lie on the floor during a study session, but they only have eyes for each other. scene 2: college. the same couple, only now they are two girls, kissing in bed. scene 3: the girls are getting married, exchanging a sweet kiss in a field of flowers. sunset colors cast warm light onto their wedding dresses.

page 3 text: try again, and again, and again. scene 1: the girls are moving in together. one dozes off against an unpacked moving box as the other kisses her head. scene 2: disneyland. both wear minnie mouse ears as they take a selfie, laughing at the kiss mark one has left on her wife's cheek. scene 3: the childhood friends have grown older. one woman hides a bouquet behind her back as they kiss over breakfast.

page 4 text: and again, and again, and again? scene 1: the women wake up in bed together, hints of grey in their hair. one kisses the other's bare shoulder. scene 2: a winter walk. they kiss as their dog plays in the snow. scene 3: the shore of a beach. the wives have greying hair and fine wrinkles, but they're still just as in love. they hold each other close, laughing, full of affection.

RIP to Chris Christie’s 2028 campaign, murdered by an octogenarian mere hours after launch

Joyce Carol Oates • @JoyceCarolOates
really, this is a serious question: why on earth would Chris Christie imagine that anyone, anywhere, ever would want him to run for President? what sparks such a delusion? granted, his wife might enjoy having him out of the house & on the campaign trail; but better just get an inexpensive hobby instead.

There are dozens more reactions like these. Every single review is 5-stars. My book has only sold a few hundred copies, but everyone who gets their hands on it seems to devour it. It's my first novel. I would love signal boosting on this. Aftertaste: A Trans Coming-of-Age Romance. With Teeth.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

As I was saying.

A screenshot of a thread of three posts by Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) discussing Democratic Party politics and transgender rights.
First post (2/4):
"The push to abandon trans people within the Democratic party has not been organic. It's been funded from the very top by the wealthy donors and consultants. Base voters on the other hand have punished candidates for attempting to abandon trans people. But the money won't be deterred."
Second post (3/4):
"They're constantly putting money into think tanks, media publications, and friendly substack grifters like Matthew Yglesias to get the Dem professional class to agree to abandon trans people. They've been banging that drum for 2 years now nonstop saying it's trans people's fault."
Third post (4/4):
"That's what this is about. It's them following the lead of Labour andopening the door to force the Dem platform to officially abandon trans rights for at least a generation.
You don't hate the donors and the consultant class enough."
