"come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed." an essayist + a novelist. somewhere (not) writing my debut novel.

i want everyone to pipe down until we see what the blue does (spoiler: it will be nothing to change our material conditions) but these overzealous responses to mere representation is...something.

Halloween is very much what I have in my closet. So Arthur (yellow sweater) or Toni Braxton album cover? (but I do need to buy a lil pixie wig). What ya'll think?

My trauma & addiction recovery shifted when I stopped thinking in terms of "problems," & started thinking in terms of patterns. Focusing on my problems was triggering & depressing me. Focusing on my patterns, w/ compassion & realism, started giving me options.

an ex’s life is falling apart. two separate people reported how bad. and i pity him and glad to know consequences are knocking at the door. never wanted revenge because living with himself was always the karma.

A lot of people are not ready for anarchist ideas. They aren't even ready for communist ideas. But, you can get ready for the ideas that can save the human race, or you can get ready for extinction via climate collapse. Choose your own adventure. 🚬

my nana done gone up yonder, i moved from CDMX early to be with my mom (favorite child things) and it finally caught up with me now that i am scheduling movers to get my things. life comes at you fast.

finding old friends in the same spot as you left them is oddly affirming and heartbreaking at the same time. idk, i saw more for them than the cults they are stuck in and binge drinking every weekend. there was a flicker of possibility and i guess it died.

favorite ice creameries: 1. handel’s. HANDS DOWN. had in in youngstown, ohio & now its in ATL. if you near on, do yourself a favor & get it. 2. jenny’s. distant second, but she’s tasty.
