Hey, @midwestspeedfest.com is live and raising money for PFund foundation! I'll be hosting today starting at arrive 5:30pm Central, and I'll be "running" (backseating @ad129.bsky.social) tomorrow at around 8:45pm Central.
I kind of hate that I'm going to keep writing fiction and that it's going to, like, be a thing that I do forever. I was just a poet, and now. And now!
I finished A Dream of a Woman by @caseyplett.com tonight, and it's something I absolutely needed to exist in this world. Every story excavated a part of me, and it helped of realize some things about the fleeting nature of relationships.
Accepted to Community of Writers poetry workshop this summer with a scholarship that covers all but $100.
I should, uhhh, redownload a couple hacks tomorrow, huh.
I need to respond to one more of my classmates' pieces for workshop, and then I need to get into the groove with this nonfiction piece I'm actually being paid to write.
I'm loving it, honestly, but it's taking a lot of time lol.
Okay the prose writing is going to devour me a little this quarter. I just finished my fifth or sixth draft of my short story due tomorrow and read ~100 pages from a collection for my thesis hours, among some other, shorter assignments.
Finished up a full draft of my first short story in ten years just now. 12 pages. Good lord.
Copy of @passagesnorth.bsky.social with a poem of mine showed up recently. Thought I'd share.
Poem accepted for an anthology of queer rural poetry, to be published in January 2027, so that's pretty exciting.
Honestly I feel like a car crash in slow motion and like we all know where this is going and we're just waiting to see how long.
Literally was standing around with a bunch of people after fiction and the rest of them made a plan to go do something and left me behind, so happy Trans Day of Visibility.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I'm in debt and need to pay taxes soon. Please buy me a coffee?

Bottom surgery is a real cock of Theseus situation.
My entire personality might be a product of seeking out internet and particularly fetish spaces where I could find anyone even close to who I wanted to be, but at least it wasn't hand-picked and pushed through 4chan by Jeffrey Epstein, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
If this doesn't work, I'm planning to try to do an engagement post with a creative piece, so maybe look out for that in a week or so.
Shot in the dark, but does anyone who follows me have a VGen code? I'm looking to get into the OC/fan writing space.
You may know me as a poet, but I've done fiction writing in the past and will be working on it more in the coming quarter in my MFA program, if that helps at all.
I feel like I exhaust everyone in my life, and I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
I feel...expendable in the spaces I currently exist in. Despite what I've tried to do and what I've tried to stand for, I just feel broken tbh.
Hi, I was interviewed for this. It's a very good read.
So next fall in my MFA program I'll be doing an independent study focused on elegies where the primary project will be a kaizo romhack.
Lots of legitimate studying to do, but with a pretty cool overarching output.
Don't talk to me or my dumb son ever again.
I conclude now that I'm the type of ace who likes to make out sometimes and is willing to do more even if it's not my thing, and also sex jokes are still hilarious.
Good night.
I had a spark of inspiration for my next hack. I think I'm ready to build again.
She pink. Also, she's a little unbalanced, but she's got the spirit.
Thanks for the clothes, @itsjoelle.bsky.social.
Thank you. I ended up just falling asleep after I posted.
I think I need someone to talk to tonight.
