There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

[/ID: tweets by @/chenchenwrites, saying: “one of my pet peeves is the belief that a poem is just a more complicated way of saying something you could say plainly. no. at its best, every line of a poem is actually the simplest way you could say something—it's just that the something is complicated & strange & alive.

a poem inhabits its own clarity, which may be deeply mysterious but that's different from unclear. and at its best, it is an unparaphrasable clarity. it says what cannot otherwise be said—and it is an encounter with the unsayable (sometimes in the same line!)

a poem is not ornament. it is oracle. vital opening into wonder.” /end ID]

Happy lesbianism Friday to all who celebrate

it is both interpersonally valuable and politically necessary to decouple transfeminine beauty from thinness, and to investigate the roots of these sentiments and what larger phenomena animate them.

sorry I can word this like an "actual tumblr post"

every time you make a joke about Lanky Trans Girl Stereotype and her Waifish Boyish Frame an angel loses her wings and a beautiful fat trans woman you know trusts you less.

Oh she thinks she’s the plusherrrrr

AAAAAAH HOW DID SHE DO THAT

like meow

hey. to the fat person reading this who wants to transition or is transitioning. make your transition goals fat like you. please. the things you aim to gain from transition can be gained while fat. you can be/express your gender and be fat. there is nothing wrong with that, no matter what anyone says. i promise.

let yourself exist. let yourself be happy. you have just as much of a right as every other person in this world to do that, especially as you transition. it's okay. you're going to be alright, and you're also going to look fucking awesome. you already look fucking awesome. it's your body. own it.

pretty bedbound today after a flare up, but made this cute lil thing i’m thinking of making merch of if anyone would be interested?
