Artist, weirdo- I mean playwright/actor, and guy who writes poems he wants to do on tiktok. Also fucking cusses a lot. Yes I know bigger words too. Most of my posts are me practicing haiku and senryu. Working on other forms.

Delosi: An Introductory Acrostic

Dorky, depressed, and dreamy eyed
Empathetic
Left in political beliefs
Oscillates between moods often
Short and shameless.
Inquisitive

I normally do not partake in this but yes, and I need the taller fellas to also aid in this. Cause yall are also part of the problem.

Save the tall ones for us tall girls.

If you’re between 5” and 5’3” you don’t NEED to be with someone 6’1” or greater! You could have them 5’6”-5’10” boys and still be good; heels or not!

Return them tall kings to the Amazons where they belong! 🤣 (Jokes; don’t come for me)

for some reason, it never occurred to me that i at 5'3 would actually look small to someone say, 6'3 - 6'6. this is actually absurd.

And it took me getting taken out during an intensive on the week of my technique final to get a confirmation.

I had gallstones for 3 years and was told it wasn't shit but a fatty liver only for me to fix the fatty liver with 6 straight months of green tea and salmon and still be throwing up bile sometimes at work. When I lost weight quickly and was still vomiting I got scared as fuck

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

And still got fucked up.

I got a gallbladder condition that nobody in my family on either side has ever had. My mom even said "That shit don't run in our family. I should have knowm when you mentioned that that something was wrong"

After that i started doing edibles everyday. Because I had been responsible and stressed.

Oh hey Chels! @chelsisright.bsky.social · 13h

The really big thing that takes us out of here and I know it may sound cliché, but it really is hugely significant is STRESS. We should start thinking about stress as a physical condition because that is exactly what it is.

The first time you see someone deteriorate in front of you, it stays there. I still remember seeing my stepgrandpa, Walter dissolve from liver and lung cancer before i started junior year of high school and it paralleled my theater and dance teachers losing their mom and husband the same year.

Nothing I aint heard growing up. Nothing a lot of us haven't heard growing up. Frankly I am amazed at the amount of people I haven't swung on and straight up murdered for that. I would be smiling in my mug shots too. Yeeeeeeah. Lol

"They referred to Black people as monkeys and 'the watermelon people' and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery."

The Birds Don't Sing is legit my second favorite song off the Clipse album because being cognizant of the changes in my parents' health literally drives half the anxiety in my head.

Today it is Capital: Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economy.

This is wholly born of an irrationally strong urge to listen to this today.

I had a friend and spiritual advisor note in a numerology reading that I was too comfortable with Death in ways others weren't and I launched into the 5 near death experiences and funerals attended before 18 that permanently altered my understanding of life before i could form one.

cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug @hnysuklchocolat.blacksky.app · 16h

the scariest part abt the way i view death now is the acceptance (& sometimes embracing) of it.

my 1st thought after hearing of a passing is "well, they don't have to deal with this bullshit"

sleep & my dreams have become a favorite place, so death now looks kinder...

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 16h

It is hard not to think about when i put ages into context.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 16h

Like my mom is 52.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 16h

This sadness hits harder because nobody has really been next up to show they can carry it forward with all of that. Or like that. And we all know that on the surface and not deep down. 51. Damn. That is nothing.

I love that the hook of Sabor Do Rio is the most oddly badass sounding shit. Like you are relaxing on the beach after you pulled off the biggest heist, assassination, or you are the person of legend people warn others about.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 17h

Fully understand. It was the first thing I saw when I woke up. After giving myself two hours before checking my phone for news.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 18h

Well that is depressing.

My mom will also tell me how she feels like nothing in life is real which is how I know my own dissociative habits are from her side of the family. I had my own Jason in Us moment with her when I caught her dissociating from stress when i was 10.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 1d

Sometimes i do stereotypically aquarian bullshit like drop my mom, who I do love dearly, into my bisexuality without having ever mentioned it. But then she will be like "gotcha. That makes sense" very Houston Texan of her.

Hahaha. Awesome. You are 3 pages farther than I am. What is it about?

This is me and a 10 minute play I meant to write, edit, print, and submit for presentation weeks ago.

I forget that I have this weird thing with men 90 percent of the time where if they are flirting me, they aren't direct about it.

Delosi Thism @delosithism.bsky.social · 1d

I finished it. Turns out Chapter 13 was the last one. I am just on citations. Also I have learned wanting to think deeply puts me in odd places.
