The data does not lie. Black women turned out at 94% Democratic. Black men at 77%. Every non-white voting bloc leaned Democratic by double digits. White men voted Republican at 61%. White women at 59%. If you want a progressive agenda in this country, it must be acknowledged and respected,

Poet (Sara Hovda) and SMW Kaizo streamer (shovda). I post about both.
sorry I was gonna go to sleep but saw MISSISSIPPI??????
And a reminder that we have been put through hell for like the last 10 years and most everyone has been weighing in on whether or not it’s beneficial politically to legitimize our existence and that’s pretty fucking tough to deal with and not a trauma that goes away overnight.
HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

Yay blue, fuck the transphobes and anyone who voted for genital inspections for children because they hate queer people. This isn't over.
blue wave so massive the new york times is gonna publish a DIY HRT guide on the front page
blue wave so massive sam altman will be sentenced to 20 years hard labor writing video games from scratch in 68k assembly
blue wave so massive christopher nolan will chain elon musk to a rock and let trans women eat a small piece of his liver every day
If you are in line to get all your kids transgendered, STAY IN LINE
blue wave so massive they're gonna make the green m&m canonically asexual
blue wave so massive engaging with harry potter media will disqualify you from government grants, contracts, and employment
AND if you are STILL saying “fuck Alabama” instead of “how do we help the gerrymandered, the disenfranchised, the suppressed?” your application to celebrate tonight’s wins in the South will be denied.
Not to be a hater at this time but I wish I'd kept screenshots of all those old Bluesky posts about how all Southerners should just be abandoned to fascist wolves. If that was you, libbing it up tonight will be allowed once you fill out your Apology Form. Get your paperwork done
blue wave so massive every kaizo streamer with a "no politics" rule is gonna be put on the no-fly list
Blue wave so massive they're gonna make Goldeneye speedrunning illegal
Voted. Now it's time to grade more persuasive essays about aliens, which will involve less ridiculous arguments than what trans people have to deal with trying to undercut their humanity.
Still incredibly honored and also very proud of this poem. 💙
“The summer just past his dying, I heard, from inside the rotting barn— birdsong.” Read Sara Hovda's poem "Men and Starlings and Women," winner of our 2026 Editor's Prize in Poetry, in Issue Fifty-Nine: theadroitjournal.org/issue-fifty-...
As a note, I'm planning on trying to beat the last two rooms of Hackers Dreams over winter break. Then I have a whole lot of other things to play lol.
They made a big mistake letting a kaizo person become a poet. I'm thinking of putting a page on my author website that just lists my favorite anime.
Hi, my poem is live at @adroitjournal.bsky.social. Go read the editor's note, where they say something so kind about the piece. Then check out my poem. theadroitjournal.org/issue-fifty-... Then read the whole issue, which includes so many talented writers. theadroitjournal.org/issue-fifty-...

If I knew then what I know now I would have transitioned no later than 1999 at age 12 Or, failing that given I'd probably have a difficult time sourcing HRT, I'd at least tell others with confidence I was a trans girl until I could get HRT Basically every Millennial trans person will say the same

I wore my Timberwolves Joe Ingles jersey to the lecture I TA today. I one "I'm so confused by this" and one "that's an elite pull."
I mean, they're never going to announce a kaizo run on socials for gdq. Haha, unless...
