Dr. Teo Shannon

And I loved every moment (except all the moments I didn’t love)

Would you believe that a good 50% of my awp was spent bullying @teoshannon.bsky.social for 4 days and making him go places in my city

It is so lovely to be seen.

i went to the idiot bookstore and they hadn't heard of you because you're not even one of the notable idiot authors

In paris, traffic laws seem to just be a suggestion and it’s kinda terrifying lol. What do you mean you’re driving diagonally across this vast open plaza????

THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE sol rios At 2pm and 2am. Sleep, I remember you. Please, wait for me. I send out 7 reminders to eat a day. Like little paper lifeboats. It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too. I need company for my shot. 3ml of Estradiol over facetime. I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up. Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question. I was going to sit in the bathtub until you responded. And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday. Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter. In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you. I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

Pepper Mint Patty dripped out in her green shirt and sandals on the phone callin shots like a boss

You just know Peppermint Patty grew up to run a gay bar like the navy

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

An image of Stumpy, our tree stump mascot, with holly leaves and berries on his head, clipped like a bow. A string of holiday lights is wrapped around him and it's snowing.

Don't forget to mark your calendars! Stumptmas is SOON.

I need an “I survived mall of America during Black Friday sales” badge. Heinous.

Another day, another lowly banker cowed and shamed by my mom’s righteous fury.

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

RIP Alice Wong. All my love for you, forever.

what a joy, talking to @teoshannon.bsky.social for hours
