I'm kinda like the narrator from the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil except all the stuff I was around for was 2010s trans lit scene drama
Today is a good day for cis people, techies, and trans studies academics to donate to my fundraiser. Support a trans zine press, a trans film series, and me, Isobel!

thinking a lot lately about the relationship between film (cut), comics (gutter), and poetry (break). I started conceptualizing this current project as a book-length poem where some of the lines are essay length and some of the lines are images, but no money means I gotta abandon it for now.

had to drop $150~ over the past week on gauze, wound care, antibiotics, and other medical materials for a new and stressful health condition that's going to require specialist treatment to fully treat. it may cost me $6,000; a crowdfunding issue for later. for now, any bit helps, thanks
seeing people get invested in electoral politics under our present conditions is pretty demoralizing
feels crazy to have lived long enough that being a radiohead fan is more embarrassing than being a tool fan
years back I was shopping around a full-length poetry manuscript called Guillotines With Elaborate Names. it got rejected from like every nominally left-leaning press, and at one point somebody told me the guillotine was a symbol of liberalism and sent me a crimethinc essay about the Paris Commune.
Now out for all listeners! Helen and Sarah sit down with @amymarvin.bsky.social, a philosopher who specializes in feminist philosophy and trans theory. We discuss the relationship between chasers, transphobia, and ruinous obsession, and ask how that intersects with stand-up comedy.

These funds will let me stay alive and continue working on the zine press, the film series, and my various writing projects. I would like to invest in a nice guillotine and some other printing and binding tools. One of my remaining molars is cracked and needs an expensive crown. Shit like that.

there's a bunch of "southern style" "creamed corn" recipes online that have milk and cream in there, which is how I know the whole internet is fucking bullshit. the cream comes from the corn. it's the corn milk god damn it!
it sucks how suicidal people get criminalized and treated like animals. that probably makes it hard to talk about. I imagine if somebody was going through something like that, feeling like they couldn't safely talk about it would just make it harder. dang.
there should be an extreme metal subgenre where you have to sing like an old crone
people keep talking about christopher nolan theodicy which I can only assume is an ongoing attempt to answer the question of how a just god could create a world with christopher nolan in it
