Love Letters to the Tar Pit

I'm radically inclusive and have no patience with gatekeeping so TERFs, exclusionists, and other assimilationist bootlickers stay the fuck away.

#2784

in this life I am spinning out, crashing down, burning up and in a past life I was a bird dashing my brains out against a glass window and in another I was a moth drowning in hot, heavy candle wax  and in another I was a possum bleeding on the side of the highway but in another I was a pollen-dusted bumblebee nestled in the petals of a flower resting a while in the summer sun before…

In my dream, four small birds bright as blue sapphires flit about my bedroom. Assuming they’re trapped, I go to open the window to free them. When I reach the window, however, I see hanging from the top trim the beginnings of a nest. The birds are in the process of making a little home here. I fret about letting them out now; it’s deep winter, will they be able to build a new nest outdoors before…

#2782 - 2025 Book List

This year I read a total of 75 books. I didn’t think I would reach 70 (it’s been a hard year and I just didn’t read as much as I wanted), but I read a ton of graphic novels when I took a week off work in December. Of the 75 books I read in 2025, 29 were fiction, 19 were nonfiction, and 27 were graphic novels. By my best guess, at least 24 of these were written by people of color. As usual, T.…

#2781 - Winter Solstice 2025

The winter solstice. Shortest night. Death of the light. An old story and a familiar one.  In an apartment empty and quiet as a tomb, Tanim lifts his chin and raises a blade – small for this task, but so sharp, a little crescent moon of a thing – then draws it across his neck in a quick line. He manages to wipe the bloody knife on one crisp cuff of his Armani dress shirt before his knees buckle…

#2780

I am the Bitch Goddess. Too loud; too proud. Too rude; too crude. They want me to starve myself, so I feast. They want me to hate myself, so I sing my own praises. They want me to enslave myself, so I dance naked on the corpses of my enemies. I do not serve. I do not bow. Even death I faced with head held high and emerged triumphant over it. I am id, ego, and super-ego. I am paradox made flesh. I…

Would it be so terrible, the Nameless muses, if death really was the end for you humans? We look out over rows of fresh tree stumps and piles of shredded branches where once a line of pines paralleled the highway. Now the golf course they blocked from sight stretches like a green wasteland beyond. The essence of chaos asks, Do you deserve to continue endlessly? To enforce your ceaseless…

If I ever reach that final gate at which they ask me to surrender you, so I might pass beyond, how will I even do such a thing? You are not clothing or jewels to be cast aside like the Queen of Heaven did when she descended into the Underworld. I could cut open my wrists, let the blood come flowing out of me, but even that would not suffice. You are in my very marrow; I would have to break my…

Dear Glacier, Thank you for the myriad ways in which you have literally and figuratively shaped so much of our world and our history. You have left your mark on the land I call home in the forms of steep hills and U-shaped valleys, scattered lakes and massive boulders, and thick layers of rich glacial till studded with countless pebbles. Once you covered this entire land, your miles-thick bulk…

As humans we are connected by more than shared DNA. We are connected by the prima mundis – the first of the world. We are connected by the first humans’ grief, as far back as those archaic pre-humans who must have mourned Lucy over three million years ago. Thousands of generations have gone before us and passed down through the ages every sorrow, loss, and hurt into a distillation of genetic…

Tell me, oh Queen of Heaven, when they took your sacred raiment from you, was there even the smallest part of you that felt relief? Unburdened one by one of the sacred mes as you descended through each gate of the Underworld, did you find yourself standing a little taller, moving a little easier? With loyal Ninshubur counting the days until your return, ready to sound the alarm should you fail to…

I wonder if we flatter you, Cascadia, with our articles and workshops and conferences held in your name. Once there would have been festivals and ceremonies to curry favor or displace the wrath of such a volatile force of nature; now there are Wikipedia pages and academic debates about your mysterious past and unpredictable future. We pour over emergency response plans like sacred texts. We utter…

[ An updated version of #2771, a seminary class assignment to write a homily or other piece to be read aloud. The only requirement was to include a prayer. ] In a time of increasing human violence and global instability, it is natural to wonder who to call upon for guidance. Who can shepherd us through such chaos? Who can help us fight for a just and peaceful future? It may seem…
