Being trans, I romanticize survival. I romanticize aging. I want to own a house with partner with a porch. I want to grow old. That’s my fucking agenda.

roots know, Bend your
back at lightning snaps.
Submit to the murmurs
of rabbit children.”

Oisín Rowe writes about faith, fear, and the hope that Christian community can offer trans people safety and belonging.
"Once I was
home to a little ant, he swallowed
my bones. Built a little city. More
crawled in. They made me warm
in winter. Little curling
creatures. I said, soak more
from soil, make each splinter
firmer. My god we grow."

I love asking people about their microjoys. Tell me about that coffee that was just enough sweet, a good hair day, using your favorite ballpoint pen.
So thankful for all of these poets and their support! You won’t want to miss this event! 4/7 7pm EST!

a book cover with balloon text with fleshy skin-like texture reads "big money porno mommy". the letters are squished together like fat rolls and there are details such as a thumbnail, moles, a bellybutton, and a tuft of hair growing from the words. in plain orange text below it reads "poems" and below that it reads "catherine weiss". the background is a bright orange to pink gradient.
black text of poem on white background. text reads: BULLY when my husband says it’s because i’m a good person that i let you in again i want to tell him he doesn’t understand me like you do. all the monsters under my bed are just men doing their best. i can sense your disappointment. your life is shitty but so is your letter to the editor. no, you can’t reject a rejection. there is no story of us. i know you loved to hurt me. i can see you’re still trying. maybe you’re right. maybe once our sorrows touched elbows. but i’m better now. happier than you—you, moth caught in a rainstorm, instrument of misery. i don’t want to know you anymore because you’re mean, soft-mean. a loud cat in an empty house, the obvious twist to a book i’ve long since put down.
My newest collection is almost here! Here's a sample poem from Big Money Porno Mommy. Please consider pre-ordering at the link below to support me and @gameoverbooks.bsky.social if you can! Or share! Thank youuu

As an agnostic person with a boatload of church and religious trauma, I’m thankful @sojo.net gives me space to share how churches can change.
