HEAVY AS ALL BREATH is a vicious little love letter to effluents, to praxis, to moms — and to guro, both as an erotic artform and as a technique for integrating the inevitability of disability, death, and even disillusionment into the durably broken shape of a life well lived. hope u like it!!

they spent the first 21 years of my life milking me for my antivenin. that's why it's all in miami

oh that makes sense!! i like that coinage a lot. the few uses already online are so esoteric in context i couldn’t rly guess at meaning

yeah, i’d been thinking of “-genic” as “producing” but there’s certainly precedent for “produced by”, i.e. (ironically) “traumagenic” in plurality parlance

i can’t find a definition anywhere! i’m guessing it’s something like “awe-inspiring”?

sometimes a whole herd will walk through my backyard and lightly menace me. they’re so cute

i felt the same way! i almost got the impression that it was made by some very talented artists who only made a game bc they couldn't think of a better venue for showing off their gorgeous art

on my way! ^-^

i truly hope no woman ever has to be alone in a room with you

you’re lying. everything i said is taken from the report of her account. these are direct quotes: “he wouldn’t let her move away from him”; “i said i don’t want to feel forced”; [after the ‘forced’ comment:] “he kissed her again, stuck his fingers down her throat again, and moved to undo her pants”

they’re trying to give my hands RSIs too but so what? i’ll type with my germy tongue if i have to

else wtf. this premise is incredibly good!!! i need to read this story so badly 😭

the last time i heard the word “cissexual” in real life was when my best friend was joking about how they’ve picked up several human testicles from pathology departments for friends despite not wanting any surgeries themself. our differences can be the very source of solidarity if we let them

i was just responding to where you said that only terms created neutrally are okay (“not bad”, as i put it), using “transgender” as a counterexample. my saying we use a lot of terms that weren’t created neutrally isn’t to say that every term with an ugly origin is okay. squares/rectangles/etc.
