Aren't You Glad To Be A Pansy?
(inspired by @sweatermuppet's poetry and stickers, and my own very complicated relationship with gender and cowboys)
buy silas denver melvin's stickers! (i have... almost all of them, and they're great quality and let all the other transsexuals at the function know that i'm a cool queer poetry loser)

"in the old world, before the body / awoke and ruptured, / you followed your father shirtless / through the yard, grass bloody knees, / one of the men in your small cowboy / boots and muddied hands."

GRIT: a poetry collection by silas denver melvin
goodreads
The polite transphobia from adult women is no longer keeping you hostage as you sob an earthquake in your ex-boyfriend's car.
Grit is a transgender coming of age story. There are no beautiful rainbows here, no whispers, but raw cries from somewhere primal.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this poetry collection, but I think I've read some of the author's poems here on tumblr.

"Silas' words dart in and out like a scalpel revealing layers of flesh that have been given-or-taken-by lovers, parents, cruelty, and fate." - Sean Felix

Hey all, 5 of my local transfem friends at the core of our little trans girl community are currently saving up to buy a house that they got a friend to sell them on the cheap so they can create a transfem housing co-op together. Some of them are currently various different forms of homeless so this is a huge break for them and it’s also an incredibly important resource that we can share to try and make sure none of us ever have to be homeless. Unfortunately, it’s also expensive, so they’re doing a little fundraiser to try and help cover the costs. Pls reblog & give if you can! Help support vulnerable trans women in securing housing and building community!!!

I regret to say i may have bitten off more than i can chew with my rats, after a year of owning these wonderful creatures my life has led to a point where i just cannot afford to nor have the energy to properly care for these beautiful creatures they way they deserve. Chloe is the white rat, sweet and shy she may run when you try and pick her up but once shes comfortable she will just lick and lick, we do suspect she may have a tumor but we just do not have the finances to confirm the tumor/have her operated on. Raven is the black rat, inquisitive and explorative shes always looking around to see and sniff whats going on, she often will hop up on one of her ledges to see whos sitting on the couch next to her cage. These sweet girls deserve better care than me and my partner can currently give, were located in the capitol hill area of denver, looking to donate the cage and whatever supplies i have to the person that adopts these 2 sweet girls for however long they may have left.

obligatory birthday shitpost‼️😎🎉🎁🎊🎈🥳🎂💯 (plus some other birthday stuff from previous years)
i can hardly believe i was 19 when the pandemic started and all of a sudden i’m 23 wtf?? time flies fr… also turning 21 and not being able to go to bars or 21+ concerts totally sucked and i’ll probably associate my birthday with the pandemic for the rest of my life just bc of the date. not in a bad way necessarily but it’s just so surreal
(also the one from 2016 was actually something i made for someone else back in high school lmao)
