Yup. And the people who told me abortion was unforgivable were all very nice women with CrossFit addictions. Whenever someone says to trust women Charles I think gender essentialism is killing us.

It’s so frustrating. It reminds me of Facebook in a way in that it feels like a bubble of liberal fury that also replicates American Puritanism about bodies and being. 😞

Your existence is pornographic, baby. You were born porn. Your graphia will always exist in relation to the porn of your birth. God is the first pornographer. Religion is the institutional rigor devoted to hiding the author’s original condition.

Speaking of iconography, when Monica Sjoo exhibited β€œGod Giving Birth” (1968) in 1971, those excitable blunderbusses at the Scotland Yard investigated the painting to see β€œwhether it was pornographic.”

When you support indie presses, you keep art and writing made by people alive. You make it possible for voices to exist outside the mainstream. You support real people who are going to work everyday and creating when they can (usually by sleeping less).

death cults are so expensive. And it’s amazing how many women voted for this death cult. MAGA would be nothing without it’s women.

The good news is my Wednesday biopsies may be cancelled! :) The bad news is that Trump’s tariff policies and wars left the local hospital without biopsy needles for hundreds of other patients into April. So critical healthcare is cancelled β€” but war and crypto and the genocide are well-funded.

Dear humans, I love you but history shows that women have supported fascism and many Trump voters are women. Women lie, betray, murder, abuse, and billionaire as well. Class struggle is the only way out of this. We need queer solidarities desperatel.

Considering how many men murder women over child support I’d think birth control is their friend.

See also Ceausescu. It’s a good time to study nationalist dictators and the monster in every flag. Schmittian exceptions have a natalist wing, again.

Grateful to the YouTube account known as β€œGuildofWhores” for making this song available and keeping poetry alive in the naming conventions. πŸ₯Ή

Was excited to discover the @europaeditions.bsky.social table at AWPβ€” and to rave incoherently about how much I loved GABRIELLE by the Berest sistersβ€” but also to sate my completist urge with Domenico Starnone’s books.

Never trust that species of oxymoron known as a Support Bot who slides into your DMs.
