Queen Mihai

Sapiosapphic transgender author/engineer. She/Her|43| Life is complex and so is everyone living it. I love you

[queen-mihai]

Hi all! I'm Mihai! I'm the author of the book series called "The Master's Quest"

The first book in the series is "The Master's Quest: Meet Annabella"

It's about an immortal superheroine desperate for a break from running the world. She gets caught and called out by a service station attendant who she ends up roping into her life after he follows her to a meeting with a dragon. It's super gay just like me and if you like found family vibes and relaxed fun silliness with superpowered beings, then this might be worth checking out 🥰

Here's where you can pick it up if you like!

Now...

I hope yall enjoy my original posts.

I'll tell you a story.

When I was a kid, and through my teenage years, me and my dad would talk about some of anything in the car.

Girls, band, music, philosophy, religion, jokes, funny or ridiculous stories, science...I like my dad. Actually, I did the same thing with my brother too

I must say I got spoiled by that because now (I'm 43 now) any time I'm in the car with someone, especially someone who I think will understand me, that's exactly what I wanna start doing.

This blog, I guess, is kinda me sitting in the car with you.

We're all cruising through life together, and I might occasionally just pipe up with whatever I happen to be thinking about. If you think of it that way, my blog might make more sense.

❤️

In any case, please enjoy my blog. I truly do try to write everything with love.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here

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.

Come become spellbound and help find yourself. 💖

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.

Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.

Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.

Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

💝

[queen-mihai]

Hey heres my bluesky

[queen-mihai]

Also my Upscrolled

[queen-mihai]

Yes I also have Instagram.

In my defense I need people all over the world to see me and know I exist

[queen-mihai]

I've already shown yall my TikTok

But here it is again

I've been experimenting with posting some of the stuff I say here, but as videos

The nice thing about this is I've got about the same amount of followers there as I do here, but a TON of them are in Norway. Really great to have an international following (here) and a local following too (TikTok)

[queen-mihai]

Speaking of videos: I have YouTube as well

I've been posting some of my stuff from TikTok and twitch there. Might be worth subscribing

[queen-mihai]

Oh yeah did I mention twitch?

I'm going live in about 15 hours

Every Monday at 10:40pm CET

[queen-mihai]

Here's one I've been scared to mention until now

I have a Subreddit!

It's for a certain group of literary works that I can't name because this dumb website will stop showing this to you

But I'm pretty sure most of you know the one I mean

[queen-mihai]

Tomorrow is Juneteenth again and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again. First, thank you for this. Last year, seeing this post blow up the way it did gave me such an immense feeling of solidarity and I felt it cresting in waves from around the world.

The black community, and my own blackness, has been a major part of how people see me my entire life.

I'm living here in Norway and, for a lot of people, whatever interaction they have with me may be the most significant interaction they have with a black person that YEAR.

I'm proud to be black. I'm proud to be a black woman living in Norway. I'm proud to represent the black community and the transgender community and the wider queer community in every place I show up. And please understand that I'm calling out injustices BECAUSE I THINK THEY CAN BE FIXED.

If I didn't think Molde, or Norway, had any path to being a more accepting and loving place for someone like me, I wouldn't be reporting failures I see. I wouldn't be trying to make friends here and I CERTAINLY wouldn't be willing to... and TRYING to tie myself to someone here as a potential long term romantic partner here lmao

Norway is lovely and there are a lot of wonderful people here.

OK

That being said,

If you are not actively, seriously fighting to improve the lives of black people around you then get the fuck out.

You do not get to stand with us and claim solidarity one day out of the year and shit on us the other 364.

Intersectionality exists and I am a LIVING goddamn example of it because the very people who will stand on a fucking stage and SCREAM that they see me as a woman; that person will suddenly fall into the fucking shadows the moment I turn on a song from Busta Rhymes.

That person who swears my being an American is a BENEFIT to Molde suddenly becomes a white supremacist sympathizer the INSTANT I imply that maybe some of the injustice I've experienced here in Molde happened because FOR SIX YEARS IT'S BEEN BORDERLINE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO KNOW ANYONE AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT'S NOT BEING ACTIVELY FUCKING CELEBRATED IS THE FACT THAT I'M FUCKING BLACK.

People get FUCKING AWKWARD when you bring up race. They want to pretend it's just not a thing anymore. Like they just don't see it. Just don't notice it. Like maybe the fact that you can't get to know people is just because you're not trying hard enough, or that every single case is just an individual who is weird and crazy and "there's plenty more cool people and I'm sure you'll meet them soon"

I'VE BEEN HERE SIX YEARS MOTHERFUCKER. IF THEY WERE HERE I'D HAVE

Fucking

met them by now

And I have to say this AGAIN because there are some stupid ass bad faith motherfuckers living here and they'll try to pretend I'm talking about everybody even though I clearly said I run across really nice people all the time.

I run into really nice people all the time.

But that doesn't fucking fix anything

It doesn't make me any less fucking isolated.

It doesn't get me one singular scrap of fucking help

It doesn't make my goddamn phone ring with friends who want to come over my house and spend time with me.

After six fucking years twisting myself inside out trying to find those so called cool people I'm having a hard time believing they fucking exist.

I have to say these things on my blog because good fucking luck getting more than 3 words out when you're being critical of a place like this. People will cut you off and be like "iS iT rEaLlY tHaT bAd!?"

And then they'll start implying that YOU SHOULD LEAVE

That's what white supremacy FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE

"If you don't like it, just leave"

Motherfucker WHERE? Where on this FUCKING EARTH am I gonna go where I actually fucking FIT IN?

I don't fit

You're gonna have to make a fucking space for me. Because I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT BY MYSELF

So happy fucking Juneteenth tomorrow yall

Your assignment ALL OVER THE WORLD is to make PERMANENT friends with black people, include them in your life, and MAKE your spaces safe for us, even if that means you, your family, and your friends have to be a little less comfortable. AND IF ASKING YOU TO BE LESS COMFORTABLE SO THAT WE DON'T FUCKING DIE MAKES YOU ANGRY, THEN LOOK AT YOUR FUCKING SELF BEFORE YOU RESPOND.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR GODDAMN JOB TO EXPLAIN WHY YOUR COMFORT ISN'T WORTH MORE THAN OUR LIVES.

And finally, give a black person some money.

Just for the fuck of it. I don't give a fuck. Do it just to show solidarity. Do it to show off to your friends by giving a bigger donation than they did

Here, you can start with me

That is DIABOLICAL museum design, A++, no notes

[queen-mihai]

By the way, when I say "I've been doing engineering work for 25 years, I need you to know that this does not make me normal or reasonable. I'm just as ridiculous in the field as I am as an author.

When I say I was the engineer doing "field redesign" work?

Please don't think that means it was calm or quiet

[gothhabiba]

see this is exactly what I'm talking about. this labour is so incredibly invisibilised that there are real human beings, walking about amongst us, leading normal lives, etc., who earnestly believe that machines can make an item of clothing from start to finish.

[rowanrightalong]

Hey just in case someone on here doesn’t quite understand how labor intensive making a garment is, here is a list of things that (to the best of my knowledge) cannot be done by machine alone, from a costumer/tailor in training

Cutting - in my opinion, the most labor intensive part of the process. The amount of time/effort needed varies depending on the pattern and if seam allowance is included or marked separately, but no matter what this process can not be done by machine. Each and every panel and piece of fabric that goes into a garment must be cut by hand by a person.

Pinning/clipping - pinning (or clipping) is the stage at which you align the pieces you are going to be stitching together and hold them together with — you guessed it! — either pins or clips. This can not be done by machine.

Stitching - the actual sewing. This can be done by a sewing machine, but that machine still needs to be operated by a human being.

Ironing/pressing - two words that mean the same thing. The iron itself is a machine, but once again, it needs to be operated by a human being.

Finishing - depending on the technique you use, there are certain finishing techniques that can only be done by hand. But, let’s assume we’re talking about fast fashion, which is usually just finished with a simple overlock/serger. Once again: these machines need to be operated by people.

These are just the basic steps to making a garment, and don’t include textile arts that I am not as knowledgeable about, such as weaving, knitting, and crochet. Also, it is important to note that there are a lot of things that can only be done by hand, such as certain stitches and decorative techniques.

Also, the machinery being operated in textile factories is not equivalent to a domestic sewing machine. We’re talking about one of these guys:

See that gray cylinder under the table, behind the knee pedal? That’s the motor. These machines can sew through your fingers bones and all and not even stop. The people in these factories and sweatshops are operating heavy machinery, and are subject to all the risk that comes with that in addition to all of the work I mentioned above.

Please respect textile workers and continue the fight to eliminate the use of sweatshops and exploited labor in the fashion industry!

Hi, this is a learning opportunity for me. Please know that the following is meant fully 100% in good faith because I genuinely don't know and would be interested to learn

I've been in some form of mechanical/ engineering work my entire life. That being said, I've much more been on the "Field redesign/optimization" side of the house than the design side

What that means is, while I have worked with CAD and programmed a few CNC machines, most of my experience has been more

"hanging off the side of a ship in a storm calculating signal loss due to wind, rain, ocean waves, temperature, and proximity to the mountainside I can nearly reach out and touch"

Than

"Sitting at a computer deciding just exactly what shape to make this exact panel"

That's not to discount the work of the engineers who do that work. It's important and I would not be living my best life doing that type of work. Give me the ship and the storm any day

Anyway the thing for me is that it feels weird and crazy that we have cutting machines that can cut with precision down to the ATOM and we can't cut, like, the shape of a shirt into a big rectangle of cotton.

The only thing I can think of with my limited knowledge would be that the material wouldn't, like, cooperate. Maybe it would fold or curl and that would fuck up the measurements.

But like even then there's math-heads out there who could probably figure out .... my math brain is activating a little too much here so like.... the point is, I feel like the advanced programming stuff could potentially be there but like... maybe there's just some stupid extremely basic thing that I don't think to think about because I've never really had to think about this?

I'm deeply interested though, I would love to hear more about why this is impossible to do with a machine. Especially the cutting part. Like... we have water cutters, lasers...sand cutters...idk I guess part of me hopes there's some solution staring us in the face and the only reason nobody's created the machine is because CNC machines for extremely specific things are expensive as fuck to make and maintain and nobody has ever bit the bullet to make it because they just wanna keep abusing humans because it's cheaper.

Like I want that to be the answer because getting the world mad enough to demand they create that machine is a place I can help

But before all that... sorry for being so long winded, I'm an author. But uhm yeah, what haven't I considered? I'm excited to learn more

This is a good time to remind people that I don't advocate for violence or assassinations

[queen-mihai]

OK? Remember! This is important. I do not support any form of violence no matter how hilarious or fitting it may be

[queen-mihai]

I am a peaceful queen

I'm only reblogging this repeatedly to show you what NOT to do

[queen-mihai]

So just remember, I told you openly on my very public blog NOT to do anything like this

That's on the record. You all heard it

[queen-mihai]

I'm not any further on my books but I DID do some serious writing today

I'm tired now

[save-the-child-qais]

OH MY GOD… tonight I thought my baby Qais had died after his body suddenly stopped moving in my arms, and I screamed his name while begging him to open his eyes again.

[save-the-child-qais]

The doctor told us that because of severe bleeding and malnutrition, Qais fell into a complete coma, and his tiny body may not survive much longer without urgent treatment, blood units, and proper nutrition that I cannot afford alone.

[save-the-child-qais]

I beg you as a devastated mother in Gaza watching her child disappear between life and death. Please, don’t leave my baby Qais alone in this nightmare—donate now and help me save his life before it is too late.

[save-the-child-qais]

I could not properly clean Qais’s wound because medical supplies are too expensive, so I stood there terrified, watching the infection and bleeding grow worse before my eyes.

Please donate now so I can buy new medical bandages for my baby Qais.

Random shoutout to this one girl almost 30 years ago when I was in the high school marching band

She went to a different school that was apparently one of the "rich schools"

But because my black ass grew up so poor that literally everybody was richer than me, I had no idea there were *levels* of white people richness.

I thought, of course, being middle class and going to a fairly well rounded and well equipped high school (of course it was, we moved to the white part of town) I thought we WERE in the rich area

But that's where this girl comes in

I'm outgoing and gay as hell, so at a band competition, I thought I might go introduce myself to some cute girls from this other school. My friends warned me that this was "the rich school."

But like, again, to me, I was also ATTENDING the rich school so that made no difference to me

So I go up and say hi to this girl and she responds with a scoff and the line

"We're BETTER Than You."

To which I raised an eyebrow and walked off

Once my back was turned and I had covered a little distance, I CRACKED UP LAUGHING

What? Who ACTUALLY says that?

And I need yall to know

I NEED yall to know

She absolutely fucking said it with the CLASSIC SNOOTY AMERICAN RICH PEOPLE VOICE

I know you know what I'm talking about!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of course their band proceeded to get absolutely curb-stomped by our band because my band director was a FUCKING LEGEND and as far as I know the motherfucker is still winning trophies to this goddamn day

Nah girl 🤣 sorry. No you ain't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But thanks for the laugh cuz that shit is still funny almost 30 years later 🤣🤣🤣

[queen-mihai]

1800 words today

I'm refining scenes and gawd this is such an amazingly fun part of the process

I finished out the main part of a scene today and literally spent every second I was writing that scene fucking cackling

Literally I wish so goddamn hard that yall could just have the context of the story already in your heads so I could JUST read that scene

Because sweet lord is it frickin perfect

And for people who have known me for a while yall will probably end up associating me even more with Annabella but like I don't care cuz this is too fucking fitting 🤣 I'll just have to find a way to deal with the accusations when they come 🤣
