so strange to bookpost in times like these™. but my debut poetry collection, Differential Diagnosis, coming out with @nupress.bsky.social in two months! it's about embodied and enminded noncompliance w/ institutional medicine, disorderly eating, being trans, all the usual Cavar fare. Buy it here:

Oh no, are we talking about who should be allowed to "serve" in the US military again? The answer is no one. Absolutely no one. Not a single person, ever. Abolition now.💥

BREAKING NEWS: New cat species just dropped! 🧪 What is a tilcayo, exactly? Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our “free” society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. 📚

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

Failure to Comply @featherproof.bsky.social and Differential Diagnosis @nupress.bsky.social are part of the same practice of generative refusal. Really glad I got to bring in both.

the FOCUS from this perfect baby; the locked stare and fixed shoulders, even as she toddles through the grass

wow lots of people following me from (i think) the trans speculative author list...hi! i wrote a poetry collection about disorderly eating + psychiatric abuse + when one's lived realities become sites of unlimited body horror...maybe you'll "like" it?

Originally, I was going to quote tweet this and flippantly describe @cavar.bsky.social as Mad Baddie and Bad Maddie, but I was so moved by this interview that I just want to strip away defensive irony and earnestly rally to the flag of Madness held by my comrade and friend and hero.

IT’S ME!!!!!!!! I loved this convo with MK, whose book, The Sexuality of Care, will be out in the summer with @feministpress.bsky.social. I urge you to read our respective books in dialogue when you can!
