in today’s version of why is Glory so big:

POV: 15 minutes after you said “it’s a surprise, i can’t tell you” to your kid

my 7 y/o wrote me a poem a few weeks back & i am 😭😭😭 “light me a candle a piece of tea a crack of lightning won’t threaten me more melody Baba & me together we will ascend together in melody…”

a poem got accepted but ion like the poem no mo

not me looking up the tuition for a POC "residency" for it to be over $2K and ONLINE

4 months out, & i am so much better that my body can't even recall the level of suffering i was in. so, so grateful

cookin something up! RT to help me find queer & trans parents of color who are either 1) non-gestational or non-bio parents; 2) seahorse Papas; 3) trans women mamas; 4) drag parents!

Third times the charm… 2025 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellow!! So excited to be in cohort with these brilliant folks ❤️

i hate being expected to always empathize with and extend grace to those who don’t see me as a person to begin with. to the point where i’m supposed to comfort *them* as they struggle to “listen” and “learn”
