When the working day is done, oh girls just wanna have non-verbal time on phone in bed

[bug girl @buggirl]

being a human is miserable i want to be a tiny baby hippo who is allowed to bite everyone

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

i don’t expect a billionaire to lead the revolution or anything i’m just confused as to why one would make a movie about standing up for what’s right at any cost only to literally never stand for anything again

[Caldatelier @caldatelier]

LGBT+ skies!

I'm glad I'm not the college instructor out there who has to do stand-up comedy whenever my students don't feel like talking in class

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

I'm not saying I have great airport ettqiue but atleast I don't talk about politics at 5 A.M.

This is is my Roman Empire

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

It's honestly so weird reading academic articles or books about us, members of the Brothertown Indian Nation, not written by us but by "professors" and "scholars" of Native American Studies. It feels dehumanizing, like we no longer exist or only exist as test subjects.

“Aaron Rodgers is down.”

[Richard Yeselson @yeselson]

Rodgers is a classic American type: the iconoclastic conformist. He thinks he’s “fighting the power” by invoking MLK while supporting crackpot anti-vax theories and bar stool demagogues like Joe Rogan. But he’s a just rich dude who rejects civic obligation—we mass produce those.

James Baldwin:

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

yes, yes, and yes. it comes off as so condescending and passive-aggressive.

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

I'm trying really hard to stop telling my students they need to develop "thick skin" to be a writer because it feels very "capitalist" to me. Capitalism wants us not to have emotions or be vulnerable with our art. I want my students to be open and vulnerable in their writing.

Me but with prose and every lit mag I've tried to submit a piece to

[Despy Boutris @itsdbouts]

(through gritted teeth) i love being rejected by poetry magazine it is necessary for my personal development

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

Its either this or cis-woman telling me that I have internalized misogyny because I don't want to be a woman.

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

Just because I'm non-binary doesn't mean that I can't speak to womanhood or the "female." Like I still get treated like a female on a daily basis because of how I look and am perceived.

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

I'm just so sick of ppl (usually older cis-woman) telling me that "because I'm trans/non-binary" I can no longer relate to women or womanhood or speak to either of these things.

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

Like I know it's a trope that Midwesterners don't like to talk about shit in the past, but this is definitely something we need to talk about (preferably in group therapy lol)

[Sof Voet @SofVoet]

The hardest part of dredging up my family's past is definitely having to reckon with centuries of generational trauma as a result of war, forced labor, forced displacement, internalized anti-Indigenous hatred, and intergenerational childhood mistreatment. Like shit.
