Jane Shi | 皮爬高 echolalia echolalia is out now @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social · Jan 29
when i started writing echolalia echolalia several years ago, i had no idea there would be a beautiful orange snake on the cover just in time for the year of the yin wood snake, surrounded by lush green in the form of Jia Sung's "snake eater" (2021). i'm very grateful for the gift of poetry.
Book cover w/ expressionist-realist painting of person w/ buzzed hair & yellow skin, wearing a grey-white smock, fighting/eating a bright orange snake in a lush dark green, maroon, orange jungle; the forest floor is a dark green & the sky is a pale pink-lavender. Person's mouth is open; they are barefoot. Above person in a snaky S wiggle are "echolalia echolalia" in bolded white serif font & "jane shi" in regular white serif font. The cover is on a light green banner with translucent snakes decorating the background. Large brown text reads "YEAR OF THE YIN WOOD SNAKE" beside book and below are the words in regular Futura font, "All proceeds of echolalia echolalia from Workshops4Gaza’s bookstore go towards tents, cash aid, and medical supplies in South Gaza via The Sameer Project. Signed copies available to order." Below in bolded Futura font: "bit.ly/echolaliaecholaliaW4G"

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔
One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet. I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

"Mainstream visibility hasn't helped our community at large. It's actually *more* to our detriment"💥
Miss Major spoke the unvarnished truth until the end, long live her legacy💥 (From MISS MAJOR SPEAKS: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary, Toshio Meronek/Miss Major @versobooks.bsky.social)
74 MISS MAJOR SPEAKS Motherfucker, you brought me here to show the public you care about the gurls and you don't--there's no honesty or transparency in that. And how about let sex workers be sex workers, because whoever's dick they have in their mouth is bound to be a whole lot cleaner than a hidden agenda of some obnoxious gay guy or lesbian who woke up in 2019 and saw a billboard for Pose and thought of calling up their minions: "Maybe we should put a Black person on a float during the Pride parade." It was really cute when they put Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine back in 2014, but I can't help but think, what has that done for the average gurl on the street? Mainstream visibility hasn't helped our community at large. It's actually more to our detriment. The images that the cis people have of the community, they're images that aren't real to the gurls who are barely making a living. It's not real life. It's not keeping us alive. It hasn't slowed the murders, or the abuses.

"Is it not telling that the conversation of abolition has been co-opted so strongly by liberal values that anything beyond nicely asking an abuser to volunteer to engage in an accountability process is accused of being one-in-the-same with State violence?”

A formline design of a cocoon and an emerging butterfly, coloured in the same shades as the transgender flag. The cocoon has half of a human face on it, and the butterfly’s wings are made of human hands. An assortment of formline stickers. The designs include a hyena, a chickadee, an otter head, a capybara, and a harbor seal. A picture of the vendor booth for TeleKitnetic Art at Canfurence 2025. A picture of a formline wooden pin. The design is of a sitting wolf and a wolf pup in grey-brown. The wolf pup is pawing at its parents leg with its tongue stuck out.

I have to find a way to insulate myself from the world. 18,000 dead Palestinian children, on official numbers. True number probably an order of magnitude higher. No outpouring of grief, no outrage: the press and politican class has decided our lives don't matter.
