listen. suffering for your art is not the answer. suffering just makes you stifle all the good things that want to come out of you. i took just like a little bit of time to fully assess and feel the grief i had been avoiding for so long and already i feel good things coming out of me. it is such a relief to know that i will be better at art and better at loving art simply because i can do it on my own terms. it should always be on your own terms. i love poetry and music but i never understood wild geese fully until now. i never understood some of the songs i thought i had already loved to their fullest extent i never understood the paintings and everything else embedded in it all because that clarity seemed so unattainable but it is there it is within your reach i promise

u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....

have you ever re-read a favorite book of yours and thought to yourself "yes, this is what coming home feels like"?

"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited."
-Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals

Fuck it, I’m suggesting a new day for the queer calendar: trans futures day. TDOV is a relic from another time and TDOR is vitally important but deeply emotionally distressing. Trans people deserve a day to celebrate our successes, our community, our joy, our resilience, our potential. As a solarpunk, I’m passionate about imagining better futures for all of us and a good future includes happy, thriving trans people who are beloved and valued members of their community and have self-determination over their gender expression and personal lives.
TFD could be all about inspiring trans youth about the adults they can become, celebrating growing older while trans, trans people working in progressive politics, the environmental sector, community organising, utopian storytelling and the cutting edge of new advances in science and technology, you name it.
As a date I propose 26th July - if I’ve mathsed right (always a gamble lol) that’s the day exactly halfway between TDOV and TDOR.
Who do I talk to about making it real? 😅
