I Had a Dream About You
surrealist dream piece but in a very homoerotic and fluorescent lit way. reminds me of going to waffle house at three am with my friends, or late night road trips. about the idealization of the good wild moments you have with people you love but also about the harshness of living outside of those moments. also kind of about crime, which i think is sexy
bonus poem: The Worm King's Lullaby
Faye Hawke
Scheherazade
"Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake / and dress them in warm clothes again."
poem about the terrible and beautiful intensity of love. makes me feel like i'm sharing a space with a significant other and we have many new and beautiful moments together. and it doesn't fix everything but it makes it easier
bonus poem: Self-Portrait Against Red Wallpaper
Mori’na Lavellan
The Torn Up Road
"I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything."
poem about having a hard time, the kind of hard time where you don't want anybody to see you like this, but somebody is seeing you like this. and somebody is doing everything they can to help you but you are reckless and they are young and you both are just trying to get through it one day at a time.
bonus poem: Landscape With a Blur of Conquerors

Charlie: Today's activity will be thinking about our past mistakes and understanding why what we did was wrong, and grow from it! Does anyone want to go first?
Husk: Don't look at me, I know what I did and don't regret it. Neither does this guy, by the way *points thumb at Alastor*
Vaggie: You mean the serial murders? Yeah, can't imagine you'd feel bad about killing five people.
Alastor: Eleven.
Vaggie: What?
Alastor: I killed eleven people, they could only trace me back to five.
Alastor: The secret is eating the evidence.

I am normally not a podcast fan but I’m facing a 14 hour drive in a little over a week so I’m looking for some stuff to listen to! Splitting the drive over two days and then doing it again a few days after that to get home.
I’m not even really sure what I’d like…true crime? Spooky stuff?? The conversational ones kind of stress me out. I think there’s just too much talking between multiple people/too much going on and it’s not enjoyable for me.
Anyway if there’s one you listen to that you’d like pls send me a dm or leave a comment so I can check it out!! Thank youuuu 💙

forensic science class shenanigans
In Junior Year (3rd) of High School I took a forensic science class. Normally classes had around 30 kids, but this was a new class at the school so there was only 15 weirdos in this one.
Loved the class, loved the teacher, learned a lot. Here's what happened.
Found out how absolute shit human memory is
Found out what bugs will eat me when I die
CUE existential crisis
Talked A LOT about geometry and what blood spatters can tell you
Talked about how if you purposely use your nondominant hand to kill someone, you can tell they are using the wrong hand. (with blood spatter patterns)
Laughed about criminals' stupidity
Laughed about police's stupidity
Put fiber and our own hair under a microscope
Was able to (fairly) accurately determine if classmates had EVER dyed and/or bleached their hair before.
Got to find out that my town is into choking, they just aren't good at doing it safely.
CUE existential crisis
Got to hold a brain (a real one, VERY wrinkly VERY textured)
Got to hold a swollen heart (some sort of heart disease)
Got to hold lungs (VERY spongey)
Get to touch fat (slimy and greasy, ew)
CUE existential crisis
Decided I never wanted to smell formaldehyde EVER AGAIN
Got to collect evidence from a real crime scene my teacher put together for us in an empty class room.
There were bloody footprints from shoes she borrowed from a fellow teacher.
Gave a presentation on who was the culprit and why for our final.
In the presentation my friend presented the last few slides
At the same time as the presentation, a Senior event was happening (involving the whole school) so I'm Feeling 22 played over the loud speakers during our presentation.
As my friend was finishing the slide the song was on full blast so the end of our presentation went like:
"And Mr. C took the hammer," EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT "and he swung once," IF WE JUST KEEP DANCING "twice, three times!" LIKE WE'RE TWENTY TWO-O-O
Thanks Taylor, you really enhanced our forensic science final lol

i have such a like perverse interest in Fucked Up Medical Malpractice bc i feel like being trans these days is at least 40% people trying to make you scared of procedures that will literally save your life and 10% the way gender confirmation is lumped in with other elective surgeries at an outrageous price point many trans people (especially those who are otherwise marginalized) can't afford despite, again, being life saving, sometimes forcing trans people to undergo cheaper, worse procedures that are then cherry picked out of a sea of good results as proof that gender reassignment is mutilation. like this makes me so mad that i have to abstract it into some kind of fictional evil doctor horror story or i will just start biting people. this isnt even getting into the fact that you still often have to grovel for cis approval of your gender identity to even qualify for a lot of stuff in some places. truly hateful stuff.
