i miss being regular sad about the world and not like, catastrophically worried and miserably horrified

Received a very encouraging rejection 🙌🏽

life’s too short; live your dreams

just hopping from place to place with my gay poems and my lil soul

on my mind lately: how do i want to show up in this world?

AI is absolutely repulsive to me. i’m sorry. i’ve had ENOUGH!

if you’ll be in new york, i’ll be reading my new poem alongside @joanpglass @jasonbcrawford in celebration of Miller Wolf Oberman ‘s newest collection “Impossible Things” ❤️‍🔥

there’s a stirring within me

I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us.

I knew a lot of men hated women, but I didn't realize how many women hated women.

any one else feel like we’ve officially stepped into an alternate universe

Surrender to the healing

"we have to pass on this" is one of the most abhorrent lines in a rejection message. Like, damn, you really had to? LOL

2024 was a year of sour lessons & yet I wouldn't have it any other way

growing up in a first-world poverty, reading was primarily how I saw the world…

I've decided to take a break from X 🌻
