Got tags running on my site, finally, so all my #YearOfKindness essays are in one place. I don't know if there will be more of them. I am writing a book of poems about it, though, I think.

(most of) the books i (mostly) read in 2025, the first year I ever kept track (so my brother & I can trade lists on NYE). It was an excellent, weird and powerful year of reading, and this post was a great way to remember some favourites <3

THE YEAR IN BOOKS
My Year in Books: This year’s reading was rabid, diverse, and orbital — circling identity, grief, transformation, the odd shadow in the woods and a lot of vampire camp.

If you hurt someone by accident how would you want your partners,lovers and friends to show up for you?!
I kept someone alive so they could become a better person, and they were already really amazing to being with. 🖤

A few people I seldom talk to but am fond of have reached out to me around the anniversary of this time to find out how my partner and I are doing and if we're okay. I've been able to say that not only are we okay, but we are planning bright futures. I have sent a few my essays
This is the essay at the heart of my #YearOfKindness everything grows from this, this collection of experiences was like a coming age, formative. Informative, transformative. We never here how anyone goes through this. This is how I did it.

By far, one of the worst outcomes of living in a technocratic misogynist society is that I cannot speech to text the word "period"

Everyone go wish Matt a happy belated birthday because they are great and deserve nice things 🖤
Although it was spent working, I had a really lovely birthday. Got to shine pretty lights on pretty queerdos while they took their clothes off. Got to eat cake off a very hot persons butt as is burly tradition! Ate fried chicken, and got lots of online well wishes.

not only have I noticed this, but as I tell more people about my work with restorative justice, Ive discovered it's emotionally important for people that I "still" have a group of people I think it is acceptable to abuse. People question me, seeking reassurance
Have you noticed? When someone points to our responsibility—individual and personal, or collective and societal—to end an abuse, the question asked next is very rarely about *how* to do it, but how to *prevent* us from doing it, for fear of doing it the wrong way.

Stories We Tell
Recognizing victims and villains is not creating victims and villains. A series on living in a culture of repair, against a culture of abuse.

Practicing peace is hard. It means practicing justice and it means not indulging an understandable desire for revenge. This is hard. But practicing peace is practicing survival for our species and our ecosystems.

I've written two novellas that have no men in them. Zero men. No one even talks about them. They're both near future literary sci-fi. 1 is entitled 'this wild & foolish hope' the other is entitled 'Loading, Darkly'

I keep reposting this because I think it's important. after accusations of harm and violent fallout how people show up and reintegrate is something we hardly ever see. This is how I did it.
