Went to this really neat author talk on writing as an “other” by Viet Thanh Nguyen for his book release 💫

foggy night in DTLA 🌙

excited to finally read these 💖

eeee got our first posters printed for LA zine fest and they are so cute 🥰 this is our little collective essay on our dreams for the future

Community aid idea 💡 (USA🐢) this is a call to educators, tutors, and people that can set up networks. Many queer families are being displaced and kids are having their educations interrupted. Not only is this isolating but it will put queer kids behind in their studies making them further disadvantaged. It would be really cool if we could set up a network of educators and tutors to help keep these kids up to speed, raise their spirits, and show them queer people live past their age. Thoughts?

Being accosted at the book store to join a bible group after arranging these books to the front really hit different 😌

3 years on T, happy to be me 🌱 i live in honor of all those whose lives were cut short for doing the same. 🩷 this is the song i blow out my candle to for my t-day b-day. 🌙 STAY ALIVE ⚔️

idk how to say this in a smart way but i cant wait for us to start accidentally forming collective language/ jokes/ memes i just know they are gonna slap

“These men wanna act like a beast, so i put these men in a cage” hits different after the last couple weeks we’ve had. Ew. 🍤

LA Public Library DTLA ✨🌜

gender euphoria of the week: went to breakfast with my dad at the local diner and the waitress kept asking if us boys needed anything 👼

About to start a punk band for my new song idea “jury summons in my dead name” 💀

Day 6 UK/US LGBT+/Black history month intersection 💖 Claude McKay was a bisexual Jamaican-American poet and author who wrote during the Harlem Renaissance. Romance in Marseille touches on disability, global movement, courtesans, pleasure, and liberty whilst exploring the legacy of slavery. (130 pgs)

i made friends with a ghost and we would have picnics at his grave, lemme explain. I enjoy visiting cemeteries. my mom is super goth and its just what we spent time doing. i was on a walk early in my medical transition and came across this cool fenced grave (comments 4 the rest)
