I just published my first Cento poetry compilation, Weaving the Stories: Poetry as Spellcasting Arrangements.
This compilation is a roughly 30 page series of Cento arrangements crafted from the book Poetry as Spellcasting, which was edited by Lisbeth White, Destiny Hemphill, and Tamiko Beyer. This is being published with their consent, entirely free and attributed to each respective author.
2026 UPDATE:
There's now a recorded version on streaming (Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Music primarily) and free to download on Bandcamp!
If you don't have the time to check out the whole thing, at minimum listen to We Are: A Spell For Cracking Shells, which has the voices of myself and eight other dolls, collectively The Kallai for this piece :)
If you could read/listen to and share it, I’d be deeply grateful. The work is rooted in Black Transfeminism/Transfeminist Womanism, and is written with Black trans women in mind, although it has value for everyone - especially trans women.
Hey y'all, I updated this post for the release of the recorded version of Weaving the Stories! Please give it a listen, download it for free, and share it where you can, I'd really appreciate it <3 I've never recorded and put out something like this before, but i'm so fuckin excited about this.

If I die, remember that I begged you and asked you for a small donation or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word or a small donation and ignores me.
I'm writing this post with tears in my eyes from the intense pain I'm experiencing. I've suffered from severe pain and multiple fainting spells this past two week due to my severe anemia and my inability to afford all the medications I need because of their high cost. All I wish for is to never faint again, so I hope you will stand by me and help me buy my medications quickly. Please donate.
Worse still, I was injured when our house was bombed while we were inside. I was hit by shrapnel that is still embedded in my body, and I need urgent surgery to remove it. Throughout this time, I have been suffering from constant pain. My surgery is very expensive, and I don't have enough money for it. Now I can't sleep because of the intense pain, and I can't afford my medications and painkillers to stop the pain because of their high price.
I need your help to stop my pain and save myself as quickly as possible. Please, I don't want to die. Please help me raise the money for my medication and surgery as soon as possible. Please stand by me. Please donate.
Thank you so much to everyone who asked about me during my absence from Tumblr since the day before yesterday. I've been experiencing fainting spells and loss of consciousness for the past two days.
My health is very poor, and I can barely write this reblog to tell you that I desperately need your help right now. Please help me so I can buy my medication as soon as possible and raise the funds for my travel and surgery. Please donate
You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao
This archive isn't complete, as no archive ever is. I'm constantly taking suggestions on what to add to it or changes to make. If you'd like to see something added to the archives or are having technical difficulties, please send me a DM. Current content categories and archivist's note below cut.
"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.
NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Anonsee has painstakingly curated a thorough archive for people to educate ourselves on transfeminist womanism and be good allies with. There was never an excuse to not learn to be better but now even less so. Please go through and share this archive!
And say thank you to Anonsee and all other black transfems, as well as Lorenzo and Jonina Ervin + all the writers and artists 🩷 Please support them all by sharing and donating (if you can)!
I’ve been thinking about this poem a lot with the United States’ Artemis 2 mission. And I feel a sense of loss at my own apathy towards it - that I can’t find it within myself to look at the new pictures of the Earth and Moon in wonder. I feel nothing seeing them. And space is a domain where I think people are very easily moved by our own ability to capture it with photographs and other instruments. It invites you to think about humanity as a single, universal entity. Looking at photos of Saturn taken by the Cassini space probe doesn’t make me think of myself but of every human being that’s ever lived. It invokes a feeling of utter humility and smallness. It’s hard not to think I am bearing witness to the face of god.
But it is impossible to access those feelings now with the US conducting and aiding in genocides and bombings in Palestine and Iran and Lebanon and on and on and on. They are using the same technology to explore space as they are for levelling cities. And I know there has always been something terrible happening in the world whenever manned rockets are launched into space, so it’s not like this is new. There was never a time in which we “just” explored beyond our atmosphere. But the present moment feels inescapable, and I find myself unable to divorce what is happening down here from the photos we receive from the Artemis above us.
ppl on tumblr are soooo pro genAI soooo pro tech fascism but love to dress it up in cryptic language+pretend like their own dedication to appearing unbothered aren’t the direct result of fascism as well and it genuinely disgusts me
like u mention the data centers being built in black communities GLOBALLY and the environmental impact and it’s “well that’s an issue everywhere” from someone who obviously doesn’t give a shit and will continue to not give a shit and is normalizing environmental destruction and is uninterested in even the slightest attempts to divest from corporations poisoning the air we fucking breathe
they still on this timing months later like genuinely i cannot stand yt tumblr users' anti-indigenous and anti-black tendencies yall r NOT philosophers yall are losers who think that playing devil's advocate in every argument and having no emotional investment in the land we live on makes u appear more rational (it does not)
You may know I am a black trans writer tumblr helped get housed from crisis. I have so many exciting opportunities for art and employment that came from this incredible gift. I do mutual aid work and political discussions but the landscaping is changing.
Bills have been my main and only real goal. I'm still job hunting and school shopping but it is all taking time and I have yet to feel like my only home isn't temporary.
Please help me grow. I am going to set a larger goal so that people with the means to help might take pity after reading this.
I am humbled by all support I receive. I very much wish to build and pay it forward as I stay my unapologetically black self.
Alright.
My goal on the gfm is 800. My expenses are 600. I also think 200 to 400 would get major needs in my house organization met.
I am going to set a post goal of 1000 in hope that people will help however they can with all my apps. But I'm not sure people want whole collections of my vent art anymore. (Free if u want tho) I love them tho. They are my books after all.

Hey y'all. I am making this post for rent and a few bills Novembe… D'Wight Walker needs your support for Support DJ's Fresh Start After Leav
Black agender poet from the Chicagoland area Individual poems on the posts section!
HI. I am now very behind on my rent campaign. Many things have come up the past few weeks that seem to eat help I get for simple utilities. I am going to be late on my light bill, I need to change internet companies desperately and pay exit fees and I have no money toward rent.
The number in the goal is accurate and I can use all the help my friends and here can muster.
I don't want to take anyone's help away but I have not found a job or even an interview in the months search and I feel as though I am being shunned by the working world. Please here my plea. Please help me.
I have 5 days to get 120 for electric and my phone together. I am trying to let the campaigns of others spread and breath but I am genuinely fucking suffocating here.
Hi. I'm Dj, a black transfem writer on tumblr, currently working on re editing my portfolio to get published. My latest offering then, is a return to my oldest, the first collection of six, now in a shape and order I'm very very proud of.
I'm currently 350 dollars behind on rent and can use all the help I can get to make the deadline in a week.
It's damn good and emotional poetry. In fact, my starting concept for the series was my sharpest.
Please enjoy the art for free if you can only boost and please please help and share these links where you can so I can stay off the street.
Thank you. This is DJ Walker's To Slip Away in Real Time, a 3 part poetry collection about the metaphor of the Wave, a flood of delusion and dread that washes over us in peaceful periods after extreme trauma. Thank you for helping me survive.
Explore DJ Walker's metaphor of "The Wave," a post traumatic flash of delusion and dread, transforming the narrator into more of an accessib
Here's a link to my full site on gumroad as well.
Currently, the middle three books, The Third Wave, Love is the Sweetest Blasphemy and Manyloves are the remaining works in their original form. Stay tuned for more!!

Some good news? I have counted the days after my ptsd episode. I have 2 weeks. I have 100 dollars towards. But I have 2 weeks and a lot of panic. I'm very scared. Please don't forget about me when salary comes. Please don't forget the help I can still do. I just learned Yifans teaching position starts with an internship but when I am ready and paid by that job or another, I will be golden. If I start school, I can get free books and maybe get my rent paid.
Things are just taking time. Please have mercy and patience with me.
