reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. it was a miscarriage if anyone asks.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

Love playing the game of "is it grey or simply blond"

They should make a hat that says "I <3 Stain Spray"

I think somebody should fall madly in love with me this week.

Adaptive brightness is a double-edged sword, truly

Ok, so you'll never guess who fell asleep too early and then just simply forgot to post a poem for yesterday. Alas, as time moves on so must we. Here's today;

Nobody Knows What My Pockets Look Like

and I’m getting tired of being 

human. The sun is shining 

through my window and all

I can think is how afraid

I am to walk inside my 

kitchen. I’d like another

week in isolation, at least,

but the cherry trees are

blooming now and I’d do 

anything not to miss them.

Half the time I barely believe

they’re real. How can anything

on this planet be so soft

within my line of sight? I

want to ask you out tonight,

and see the glow of lamp

light reflected in your hazel

eyes, I want to take your

hand under those blossoms and

see if they really do exist.

All I can hear is my heartbeat,

and I’d like that to stop being

true. I want to know I’m

allowed to think of you.

I want to stop texting like

an automated email, and

just say it; I love the sound

of your laugh. Take a 

walk with me. There’s

nothing I’d like more than

to get to know you.

I think everyone should read And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets on ao3 at least once

Y'all, it is national poetry writing month so ya know what that means! Taking a brief interlude from the shit posting to get outside my comfort zone and actually post some damn poetry. I don't know if I'm going to be able to actually write a poem a day, but I'm going to roll with it.

The Day I Get Published Is The Day I Stop Reading With My Real Name

You heard me. Listen;

I wore a mask all four years 

of high school—not just because of

the virus, but because I hated

my own face.

Original experience, I know,

but what is poetry if not identification?

Connection in the surplus, come

and wander through the Costco

of my brain, shelter under the

awnings of my eyelashes, we’ll

both be safe here—or at the

very least you will be. You see me.

Knock on my door, and come on in.

did you know that you can increase the quality of your quesadilla by adding seasoning

did you know that you can decrease the quality of your quesadilla by making a tumblr post while it's cooking and burning it

Love it when I write a line that makes me go "eugh"

I hate having dreams about cars

'being single sucks because youll be lonely' lame and untrue. 'being single sucks because a lot of groceries are portioned to make food for more than one person and you cant really take advantage of buying in bulk because it'll go bad before you use it all' this i cannot deny.

THIS. THIS, IT IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!
