less interested in the genitals of your lover and more interested in whether you've actually ever done something to support queer people and causes or if you're a racist who's never said a nice thing about a single trans person

TRANSMASC MARVEL GIRL
Sterling-Elizabeth Arcadia
An original painting by nat raum of three interwoven dark pink bands on a background of beige. there is a muscular quality to the bands. they may also evoke vocal chords or veins next to skin.

coming April 16th
preorders are OPEN

the following quote appears in hot pink alongside the cover:
in a dark movie theatre, a body is almost
anonymous. more so if it’s one of the auditoriums
with recliners, where a body is less likely
to touch another body.

after la chimera (2023)

the last time we met was all epiphany.
you laid a bundle of saplings in the bonfire,
spitting up embers that flew into my eyes,
smoke and ash that burned my nose, chased me off.
everything that went wrong was preceded by a celebration
where we robbed the italian countryside. drank
the finest in non-alcoholic aperitifs, fucked with
the thinnest condoms money could buy. i can
still feel you buried inside of me, cumming harder than ever:
stolen goods.

i saw the tv glow (2024)

they can’t hurt you if you don’t think about them. they can’t hurt you if
you don’t think about them.

the memories that sting the worst are the ones i don’t have. the ones i never, no longer. Buried under a thickening layer of dirt, ooze, the accumulated leaves of fall after fall.

i’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. what the big bad took when they cut out our hearts. replaced with a unipolar magnet and a broken clockwork. infertile automata.

before, life was like a glowing pink. a polished mirror. tangible. more than a vision. a lens flare. an artifact. clean, bright agony.

i’ll never understand your fear. the way it spurted out of you.

I think we should imagine abolition and restorative justice in all areas and call for solutions that are different than the solutions the oppressor class are using for "crime", i.e. yes removal from power and dismantling of violent structures and institutions but not imprisonment.

i gotta say as a trans woman it increasingly feels like my only options to avoid living through / dying as a direct result of mass deprivation of trans people’s human rights is to leave the country or kill myself haha just kidding
