I am not promoting this *nearly enough* thanks to the crushing workload of actually MAKING the book, but!
We’re making a romcom! If you like queer characters, relationship friction, and as much humour as we could cram in, maybe you should read the preview at the link, and possibly even preorder?
i think girls are gross but i'm also feeling these weird things when i look at them?? making an entire politics around this rn
Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
Next to the LLBean OFC there is a shack from whence you hear gunshots sporadically, and train tracks that sometimes run an invisible but very loud train at dusk. People really misunderstand Stevie King as the non-fiction genius he’s always been.
A work by Barbara Kruger. Over a black and white photo of adult men in suits roughhousing is the text "You Construct Intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men."
Work by Ed Ruscha. Over a blazing, painted sunrise in a red to yellow gradient that rests on a flat, ochre colored ground is the text (in masked white) "The act of letting a person into your home." The text varies in size such that it suggests the shape of a pyramid .
Work by Bruce Nauman. In yellow neon sign: "Run from Fear," and below it, in pink, "Fun from Rear."
Work by Jenny Holtzer. A theatre facade with marquis text, placed off center slightly to the left, reads: "It is in your delf-interest/ to find a way/ to be very tender."
As research for my current painting, I wanted to look at some Ed Ruscha. But google doesn't work anymore, so I dug into my hard drive to find a presentation I did a decade ago about art/installations w/words. Wanted to share my faves:
1. Barbara Kruger 2. Ed Ruscha 3. Bruce Nauman 4. Jenny Holtzer
fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
“Yes on murdering people, no on being allowed to say that murdering people is bad.”
I didn’t know this was an option and now I need one too
Hell yes support your local girl gang!

Happy #ValentinesDay bluesky! We got you a 10 page preview of our gay, witty, billionaire-hating romcom. You don’t have to get us anything, but giving it a read would be appreciated ❤️
love after life; she chills me to the bone...but my girl will NEVER leave me. it's a picture of a living girl in a dress with hearts on it with a ghost girl behind her. the living girl says how do i look? and the ghost girl says i can't even think straight--!

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
You have discovered a planet. It is through the lookingglass. It is diminutive and super. If there are rabbits there, perhaps we might find a community.
The only way this would be funnier is if the kid just instantly became a homosexual for life from this fearful moment.
Macbeth: SHIT
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
This cat HATES the Maine weather, but he does love whoever invented radiators.
Sorry I accidentally did a social media cleanse month. My bad!
My orange cat is named Copernicus.
Just saw an ad for a were-CEO novel. I know they meant a werewolf who is a CEO, but I’m dying laughing as I picture a normal wage-slave who once a month turns into a feral CEO for three days.
really a lot of choices I would not have made. It makes for arresting images, certainly.
Hard to learn from a Bangles biography that there is someone out there living my best life surname-wise:
Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of The Bangles by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike
Bicker. Dike. My two favorite things to do! In one name!!!
A white femme with glasses in a navy giant minky hoodie with the hood up, sitting under a grey minky blanket. There is an orange cat also under the blanket with his head sticking out like he is also wearing a hood, and his eyes are closed and very cute.
This may legitimately be the least-flattering photo ever taken of me, but I’m posting it anyway because LOOK HOW CUTE WE ARE MATCHING SITH!
why are you polyamorous?
wrong answers only:
To have enough social connections to pull off a heist.
I know, kitten, but mom’s got to out and make us wet food money.
