Davi Gray (she/they)

Well, it's almost over now... flying back Sunday & ybb I'm sleeping till 10 on Monday 😴

major update, Marvina Haynes, founder of MN Wrongfully Convicted Judical Reform & former ward 4 council candidate, is running with Tara Widner, for Vice Chair of SD59 DFL tomorrow @ convention.

this is the LEADERSHIP the Northside needs & deserves. plz spread the word to ur North Minneapolis folks.

The attempt to pre-adjust my sleep schedule for AWP kinda backfired & left me (a) not adjusted and (b) v v tired

Thank you for your service 🫡
They don't deserve you on their feed anyway

Nooooo I get my art documentaries and film studies movies here 😭😭😭

I know it's a lot of promo today, but:

1) it's bandcamp friday, when artists get max $ from the platform

2) that money isn't going to me; the album is a rent relief fundraiser

3) the EP opens with a clip from an Octavia Butler interview that flows into one of the best 24 bar verses I've written:

Getting ready to head over to @redemmas.org for the @haymarketbooks.org reading 🔥🔥🔥

Come hear about the joys, challenges, and freedom of being an mature writer: we promise we will be honest, truthful, and fun. Saturday. Noon. @awpwriter.org #AWP2026 @thesusanito.bsky.social @deniselow9.bsky.social

A reference to the Boromir meme from Lord of the Rings in which Boromir is saying "One does not simply walk into Mordor!" only this has Guante's face superimposed over Boromir and the text reads "One does not simply walk into Minnesota"

Buy some new music from @guante.info and @seemore.bsky.social and support a rent relief fund here in Minneapolis - all $ from album sales are going to Neighbors Helping Neighbors!

Found a way to contribute & made this in honor of one of the new tracks... secretrivers.bandcamp.com/album/spring...

In Baltimore I should say. This doesn't happen in Minneapolis

OK there has to be a reason they bring out plain water in bottles at restaurants...?

Baltimore Museum of Art is very heavy into the famous old white painters. Mostly due to a bequeathed collection, seems like. I couldn't get into their big current exhibition but it was worth the walk-through.

Ughghh 🫂

hello darlings

today is my birthday, and for my birthday (if you feel inclined) I would like three things

- tell someone you love them sometime today

- donate to a mutual aid fund (or better yet, give money directly to trans people)

- preorder my boooook ⤵️

[to] the god that lives in your fist
when you fight for something worth fighting for,
what more could life be for, on the brink?
eye of sauron looked right at my city;
we made it blink

Let’s do something amazing

😂 IYKYK

Mmm good point.
Counterpoint: turns out it's a black pen. I always carry a black G2 pen, yet here I am with a powder blue Inkjoy, a red Pilot Precise V5, and a pink Sharpie S-Note highlighter.
But having found one thing I forgot, I am irrationally relieved, despite the possibility of others... 😅

Oh no... there's always something. Always 🫠

Damn. Now I'm wondering what I forgot 😅

Point: sometimes ADHD makes me late, and sometimes it makes me miss things I want not to miss.

Counterpoint: cheaper Lyfts. And maybe the whole thing was gonna be eaten by tentacle monsters anyway 💅🏼

We have so many signings at Booth 1248 today! @reneethewriter.bsky.social, Leila Farjami, Emily Hyland, Dylan Weir, @jasonprokowiew.bsky.social, @lsevick.bsky.social & @kalekim.bsky.social, plus more tomorrow, starting with @martheaus.bsky.social! Come by and get your book signed!

Bandcamp friday!

One thing lil ADHD Davi learned very young: whatever you do, DO NOT remove your hand from the Q-Tip when it's in there.
Also learned: despite all the pain & blood, a punctured eardrum can heal pretty well.

Now signing in Booth 1248!! 2-3 pm Thursday: @joustingsnail.bsky.social and @susanlleary.bsky.social!!

Signing from 3-4 pm Thursday March 5 in Booth 1248: @lucillelangday.bsky.social

So quick to take it away yet so long and complicated to get - and then recover from mistakes like this 😓

…so, uh, who’s up for doing a Minnesota/Twin Cities-themed cover of Endwalker - Footfalls where I pretend I’m not terrified of singing in public (I absolutely will, though, as I live for that bridge)
