A world of disorderly notions, picked out of my books, crowded into my imagination; and now my head was full of nothing but enchantments.

Okay. 500 left to go. Not getting any further grace from my landlord, so I have to get this in today.
Remember how I was asking for help just before nye? Rent, groceries, bills, all that? Yeah, got enough for everything but rent, and then 2026 showed up, started throwing hands. I'm at the point of needing to get 1500 in in the next two days to cover rent.

The existence of disaster (bad star) implies the existence of euaster (good star). A sudden, cataclysmic harmonization—the correction of all things, a moment of violent alignment

fun science fact!

saturn isn't doing math. you are doing math to saturn, and she doesn't appreciate it
These sorts of things get a lot less mysterious when you see how easy it is to approximate a regular polygon with a resonant wave of the right amplitude.

Yesterday saw only twn bucks come in, which means I'm still at about 800 to go, and I'm going to be begging my landlord for an extension in a few. If you can, please help?

This lovely trans woman is setting up shop in Seattle and her books are wide open for new electrology clients! ⚡️

Despite the sassy name, she sees cis clients too, but loves to support the community. 💖

Please share, ESPECIALLY if you are in the Seattle area!

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

i think renee good being an evidently leftist queer woman, in a relationship with another woman who was with her in the car, with both of them taking care of a child, is not at all coincidental to her being assassinated by the state

stories can do a lot of things. if we're saved, it will be a story (and the bodies that contain it) that saves us. but it's also a story that is causing all of this dogshit to begin with. I think there's a narrative arms race playing out, basically. and I'm afraid we're losing. but we don't have to
I think it does something profound to a person to be so inundated with bad news. humans are narrative beings. we experience the world through the stories we tell ourselves and others about it. I think not having really any True *and* non-horrific narratives to draw from leaves us, lacking, something

Dolphins spend years cultivating the shamanistic ability of "full brain sleep". They have special lullabies for coaxing both hemispheres offline. Few achieve true total slumber, or harvest dreams from their unconscious dark

If we cut the predator out of you, we would be cutting out the way you play with children; the urge you have to walk at night; the holiness you sometimes glimpse upon the kitchen knife

It is known that covering your skin with holy texts will conceal you from ghosts; this is because the dead's own realm is built of sacred words, and your body can be camouflaged against that gauzy, golden backdrop

Revolutionary optimism is the disciplined confidence that because trans lives are forced to invent ways of surviving capitalism, we also possess the skills needed to abolish it.

Despair only serves existing power structures.

Collective struggle for total intersectional liberation now. ⚧️
fascism seeks to convince its victims they have been defeated in advance. stay aware of the state’s behavior, but remember it’s motivations.

You weren’t “difficult to love.”
You were never loved according to your needs.

You weren’t “too intense.”
You were unfiltered without guidance.

You weren’t “hard work.”
You were human.

They didn’t know your language.
So they called you the problem.

Fuck that.
