ALT A selfie of me, a white nonbinary person with sandy hair and glasses, at a low flat beach holding up my upcoming books: ATHLETE IS AGENDER, light blue with rainbows branching out from the top left and bottom right corners, and BEYOND THEY/THEM, pale sunburst in color with illustrated nonbinary figures encircled by a long nonbinary pride flag (yellow, white, purple, black). I’m wearing a light grey sweatshirt and the photo cuts off about halfway up my face - I’m smizing and wearing sunglasses

Wildwood is one of the biggest examples of why I’m begging folks who make media for younger audiences to stop holding back on kids. Took my younger cousin (11) with me to see the film and he was extremely engaged, quietly commenting and theorizing throughout the film.
‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.
“Big studios like Disney and Paramount want to sanitize stories, effectively training children not to think about sadness or fear. Wildwood is for kids to be inspired by how they feel when they see a great movie.”

Don’t want to give the Victorian doctors too much credit but I just went to the seaside and it lowkey did cure my ill humors

I think owning a bookstore overlooking the sea that's also a coffee shop, that’s also a flower shop would actually fix me!

It's also a planet where sea turtle babies communicate with each other from INSIDE their shells to coordinate a synchronized exit.
Hatching as a group makes it safer for the little ones on their journey to the water.

Sometimes I forget that we live on a planet where sea otters wrap themselves in kelp so they don’t drift out to sea while they sleep. Where frogs follow elephants in the jungle to lay eggs in their footprints. Where whales lift their newborns to the surface for a breath of air.

Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

The horrors persist but so do libraries, books, iced coffee, sunsets, trees, the word ‘fuck’, the moon and the sea.

happy intl. transgender day to the nonbinary that are not androgynous, the dolls that do not ‘pass’, boys that like to be fem, the people in between, the questioners of the cis-society, the gender benders, the people that treat gender like a playground.

i can’t explain it but grey feels like the colour of mist on marshes and feeble cloudlight and the sublime dullness of dreary days, and gray feels like a marketing term specifically designed to sell tins of paint. no i will not be taking further questions at this time

Life isn’t long enough to do all the things I want to do. I want to memorize all the works of Shakespeare, read Beowulf in Old English, become an expert in folklore & etymology, study history, play the recorder. There are an infinite number of things to learn, & time is so short
