I thought I was holding grief.
Tonight I see grief is holding me.
Not with a vice grip. Not with a fist.
More the way gravity holds the earth to the sun-a force without which our planet would lose all warmth, all life.
Love has many names. Grief is one, and I am grateful tonight for the way it tethers me not only to pain but to beauty, goodness, connection.
Tonight I see grief not as a problem to be solved but as an energy to explore, to move with, to circle what is beloved.
There is some comfort even in knowing it will never let me go. It is right that it should hold me, even as I turn and turn.

policing expression/kink w/in our own communities is not what we need to be doing when current powers are chomping at the bit to greenlight sanctioned oppression of queerness.

shaming kink doesn’t protect you when the β€œyou” is ALL OF US.

β€œdegenerate” kink/art/expression MUST be safeguarded

an oil painting of a raven flying in front of a howling coyote. both animals have their mouths open, with wisps of white coming from the coyote's mouth and wisps of black coming from the raven's; the wisps connect to one another as they spiral around the piece. the background is a bluish-greyscale gradient from dark to light
