MY HEART DEBUTS IN PAPERBACK TOMORROW IT'S NO BIG DEAL IT'S FINE I WON'T THROW UP AT ALL

🎃 blayne 🎃 @ewhag.com · 21d

hi 🖤 i'm blayne (they/she/any)

my first collection of poetry, BITE BACK, is out october 9. it's about reclaiming yourself in a world that wants you to self-destruct, and alchemizing past abuse.

it's gory and queer and dark and filthy. you'll love it.

pre-order here: bookshop.org/p/books/bite...

lesbians are far more than what they do for the community, but their support and care of those affected during the AIDS crisis is a perfect example of the kind of selfless help we need to offer one another right now. not because of what anyone does for us in return. because we're stronger together.

Ell Huang

Bottling Purity with Jekyll and Eros-Hyde

Good one,I have always been.
The good boy, good fellow, fully clothed
upstandingly dressed in black and white.
And sin is quite impossible a stain to get out,
virginity is quite impossible to get back-
unless, that darkness wasn't me, but my foil.

There are things I know that no one else knows.
But if I could know both, let my purity be
both purity of soul and purity of evil.
Let me go to heaven and back and know the fullscope

of redemption. The rush of demons screaming and the wash
of holy water burning away all evil so that it never happened.
I lived in a contained laboratory of a world, my experiment
between me and g - d above. A werewolf's delighted life,
the fullness of knowledge of good and evil!

Whichever form I died in, then, would be who my soul was.
Idrank. and the me that drank was no more,

I watched all pure light and wonder rot away to ravenous hunger.
I saw no people walking amongst us, only cuts of meat.
An urgency to have them al, a starvation magnified.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.
