forgot to post on Poetry Day! I was busy reading Rickey Laurentiis’s Death of the First Idea (a lush, shape-shifting meditation on what it costs—and gives—to remake a life)! poems that reinvent the lyric to tell the truth of a trans, Black self—ferocious, vulnerable, and lit with New Orleans light.

Perverts by Kay Gabriel A collective dream of queer desire and resistance, Perverts explores how private longing becomes shared consciousness amid rising anti-trans panic. Desire as politics, poetry as organizing. queerazon.com/shop/ols/pro... #QueerBooks #KayGabriel #TransBooks #QueerActivism

Finished in July: 📚 Gay Girl Prayers by Emily Austen; poetry. Austen reinterprets bible verses to affirm and uplift queer, feminist, and trans realities. My favorites are the Matthew 25 series. #QueerBooks #Poetry

I had fun reading this Indonesian queer poetry book. I caught references of our pop culture, local figures, history, and news to express unique queer experiences. The poems mix Indonesian, little English, and "bahasa binan"; a lingo adopted by Indonesian trans community in the 1960s. 1/3 🧵 #Booksky

Been on a mini-educational kick for my audiobook listening recently, and right now I'm listening through Invisible Women by Caroline Perez. As a feminist and lover of humanity, I was still caught lacking in knowledge on a lot of the minute ways women are excluded from thought in society.

Kalonymus ben Kalonymus was a 13th century Rabbi and philosopher. She was also a poetry prodigy, gaining renown in her 20’s. One of her poems seems to describe her gender dysphoria. In “Even Bohan,” she laments having been born a boy and longed to be a woman. She was likely a trans woman.

Regular reminder that I wrote a zine of poetry about my first year of transition. My hope is forever that trans people feel seen by it and perhaps find some comfort in my words, and cis people maybe understand us a little better. #transmasc #transMan #transArtist #transWriter #trans

a sneak peek at my next project 👀 a half-page zine & personal essay regarding queerplatonic relationships for the uninitiated. both anecdotal and educational, I thought what better way to celebrate pride month than to reflect on the personally most important part of my identity?

Friendly reminder that horror as a genre is queer af
