As time is conceptual, I could rattle off a dozen names of children who beat people I love.

I'd destroy monuments and shrines to kid touchers and colonisers.

I'll desecrate any flag before knowingly desecrating land. Patriotism is nothing to me.

My preferred poisons are sedatives. Opiates.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
RIP to a motherfucking icon.

I often take my home state's capital city for granted b/c I was privileged to go to school right on the edge of it's CBD for five years. But I could see this skyline anywhere and know that it's mine. Bluey may have made it famous & it's climbed off the canvas since 2009 when I was there everyday 🌉✨️🌏

This reminds me of a story about my Grandfather whose disability support $ questioned by a federal Human Services public officer who was more interested in serving the Govt than people. "You look fit and fine to work any job" & he whacks his hand with a missing finger down. "Reckon it'll grow back?"

False Face Fox

First of my glass animal mask series! This was so fun to paint, what other animals should I try? So far I'm thinking owl and deer for a woodland theme🦊🦉🦌

This painting and more have just been added as a print to my webshop :)

Reposting b/c 👌🏻🎯, and to add; don't patronise individuals by assuming we all need "easier words." A lot of us don't.

Let us all take the time we need to understand what's in front of us. Be patient. If we love you and you love us and you give us the tools we need to succeed, know that we're trying.
I make this post as an autistic person.

Instead of attempting to advocate for disabled people by demanding that books be written with easier words, we should be encouraging them to challenge their limits.

Being disabled doesn't mean you can't do something, it just means you need more time.

It brings me joy to know that even the intellectuals who I consider so much smarter than me also indulge in some Barnum effects as a treat from time to time. Even though mine are self-administered.
had my first ever tarot reading last night and I know how cold reading works I know it’s a trick but also god damn the universe perceeeives me ✨

No one tell the men who are hiding in a new range of closets called "manospheres"!
You know what's REALLY "manly"? Reading a lot of books. Knowing stuff. Being smart. Being able to talk to people. Being able to listen to people. Being open to new ideas. Being able to admit when you're wrong. Taking care of yourself and taking care of others.

The rest is just posturing.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

It takes a long time to make love with someone who hates themselves.
I like this, I like this a lot.

A shout out to my partner, who may not have a bsky, but reads incredibly slowly and who I catch sometimes comparing themselves to my ridiculously quick reading speed. You get to enjoy things at a reasonable pace, my love. The first-time joy of a story lasts longer for you 🩵 never change.
Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

A depressing read. If I'm ever publishing, I'm self—publishing so I don't have to deal with publishers or their approach to this. Makes me beyond sceptical about ever paying for a Masters' if these are the precedents. Seems an easy way to steal enrolment fees.

Updated and now insanely long. I am not happy with what I am seeing in the book news. We need better solutions. I don’t know what exactly those solutions would be, but I don’t think Pangram is it. Can...

Category is vibes but in the "why am I like this" way
I’ve been approaching the last 60 days or so with a real “can do” attitude that is frankly not appreciated by my current or future self.

I'm 3yrs deep into consistent therapy to undo all the ways I was becoming my parents. I'm still full of punitive rage. So when Eda drops this banger, I think about the fact that I've destroyed what I was to get better while they continue to lie to themselves. The validation is unmatched.

Water's 20°C, I'm surrounded by dogs off leash and I don't have work tomorrow. Sometimes, I love my home state (less people would be preferable)

Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket.
But to love something despite? To know the flaws and love them too... that is rare and pure and perfect.
