It's been a week, and I haven't written.

I was on vacation last week. Before, I made plans: to fix things around the house we've been putting off, to play video games, to talk to people, and to write. Before and during, I also focused on making my space feel more like "me." That

TBT: 03 Doubts

Throwback Thursday: Fri, 03 Oct 2014 15:00:55 on the VerboseTerse instance, yadda yadda yadda. Notable that this was for the write31days challenge for that year; I decided to write about my non-binary gender experience. This is from the third day, about my doubts before coming out. So far,

Grand gestures are beyond me; instead, I'm too quiet

I have no compass... this feels South; It's towards the clouds threatening thunder And toward home. A temporary escape outside-- enough time to remember to confess as the strings soar. If there were stars, I would count them But the raindrops will have to do. Either way, I

An Outline: My Spirituality + A Hard Left Turn

"Decolonized ancestor worship." That was my first and immediate response to a partner's questions about my altar. A single candle was lit, fresh flowers and water, and the tablecloth recently replaced. It cast a soft light in my bedroom. If I felt something, I kept it

The last train home.

"Whoa," I said, sitting up a little as the credits rolled. "I haven't heard that in forever." "What song is it?" he asked, shifting under my head. We had been binging Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for two hours and Netflix'
