I think I may enjoy watching Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie interviews even more than I liked watching Heated Rivarly. They’re adorable!!

Shout out to anyone having to going about their day while high-key anxious about the current state of the world. I’m naturally hopeful but even I’ll agree it’s BLEAK at the moment on multiple levels 😬

feeling deep sadness and deep anger for my country. I have been losing sleep all week and filled with anxiety. there is so much beauty, community, and love here that is being continuously smothered and overshadowed by selfish and violent men. - my silent comfort is reminding myself of the continual resilience and joy of queerness. queer expression is freedom, play, and support during anger, fear, and violence. I hope for more hopeful moments ahead.

Genuinely curious, do you ‘your person’ could be found on a dating app or meant to be met in person?

Perfume is not just a scent. It is a complex of elements that can take you beyond time, awakening memories, emotions, and sensations. It can make you feel safe, joyful, and deeply connected to yourself. It can strengthen your confidence and shift your inner state. So before you say ‘it’s just a perfume,’ remember the invisible journey it creates within you.🌟

It’s 00:23 and my seventh week in hospital. I can’t sleep and don’t know where or how to share how I feel. So maybe here. I miss my identity. I haven’t been in my home or in my clothes for weeks. I haven’t had my coffee from my favourite place or that cheeky pastry on a Friday. The antibiotics have changed how I smell, I’ve not been able to be to the barbers and I’ve lost 12kg. I don’t look like me. Being unable to sleep due to noise, feeling ill and them not knowing what the cause is, well it’s changing who I am. Even as someone who has seen dark days before, I always seem to find a flicker of joy or hope. But now I’m just homesick for a life that I loved. So there we go. I needed to say it somewhere.

You confused me, my love, mixed me up with your other whores, didn’t you? You tangled our stories because my writing looks like theirs, sounds like theirs, bleeds like theirs. One of your whores, am I? Stunning, my love. Why don’t we make it official and start a little writing club? Call it the lovely man and his heavenly whores. We’d write hymns about you! your beauty, the twitch of your tongue when you say one of our names wrong, the way your hair jerks like it’s been touched by a ghost when one of us feels too much like another. We’d describe you the way Nietzsche described truth: a prostitute, despised and worshipped in the same breath, dragged through language until you shine. Darling, can’t you see it? Can’t you see what you’re doing to your muses? To us? To the whores you keep summoning with every careless flick of your charm?

I hate wanting someone. It feels like something is clawing around inside my ribs, and all I want to do is spit the truth straight at them, tell them I don’t want to screw this up, don’t want to twist myself into the wrong shape, don’t want to be read as too much or not enough. It’s this violent urge to tear open my chest just so they can see the mess for what it is. And the worst part is knowing they’d just stare at me like I’m feral for even feeling this hard.

Screw you, Plato. You call my art an imitation? Tell me, would Socrates call your body an imitation? Would he call the little performances you put on while touching his bare skin an imitation? Is that why you felt so bold naming me what you did? and if my art is imitation, then why does everyone want it? Why does no one beg for my mind, my numbers, my soul? Why does no one ask for the machinery behind my ribs, the architecture of my thoughts, the mathematics of my longing? You want the body, not the truth. You want the heat, not the history. You want the moan, not the meaning. And the moment I dare to moan no, the moment I dare to step out of the script, I become nothing. Not even a tragedy worth watching. Not even a dance worth learning. Not even a story worth stealing. Stripped of every illusion of desire. I become the thing you step over on your way out. The thing you forget existed. The thing that held the weight of your performance but never earned a bow.

The first voice was the heart, remember? That trembling little martyr whispering, use me, ruin me, I’ll pretend it’s love if you pretend to care. Now comes the second voice, the body’s voice, rawer, hungrier, stripped of metaphor, offering itself up with the same doomed devotion but without the poetry to cushion the fall. Same machinery, different angle. Same altar, different sacrifice. Together they sketch the whole delirious circuitry we pretend not to worship, desire looping into power, power looping into need, need looping into that soft, parasitic prostitution we all practice in the dark. Don’t look away, you know exactly what I mean. It’s in you too, that little engine of ache and transaction, that gorgeous ugliness we dress up as romance or rebellion or “just being human.” You can feel it humming under your ribs right now, can’t you? That secret economy of wanting and being wanted, of offering and being taken, of giving yourself away just to see who bothers to pick you up. Don’t lie to me, I’m talking about us.

The best New Year's resolution I ever made was to start devouring all my nicest things, and save no small pleasure for an unspecified future. Now I burn the good candles, wear my nicest clothes, scribble imperfectly in pretty notebooks. You can't pin joy like a moth.

Someone once asked me why do I identify as nonbinary. All I could say was, “I’d rather not use any pronouns, because you are assuming and prejudging me rather than getting to know me”
