Decided on a bright orange look for going to the cinema tonight.
No one will see me in the dark, but I’ll know!

I have a cyberpunk book that focuses on trans issues!
PROUD PINK SKY takes place in an alternate cyberpunk Berlin that’s the world’s first gay state. Trans and non-binary people are isolated and confined to ghettoes…

As gifts for myself, I got warm gold and bronze eyeshadow along with a millennial pink sweater. After a really busy holiday season, I’m almost feeling ready for 2026.
What do you mean it started already?

Having a very 1980s-themed day today with neon blue and pink.
I can present it’s a tribute to the decade in which I was born, but the truth is I did it on a whim…
Happy Eighties Tuesday nonetheless!

Off to meet a friend downtown today, so thought I’d go with a non-traditionally festive orange and gold eyeshadow!
Fine, so the matching sweater isn’t necessarily thick enough for the winter weather, but we all need to suffer for our art!
Happy weekend, everyone! 🧡💛

I realised I’ve never posted a picture of me and my partner on here. This is me and Ismar earlier this year, while visiting my mum and her boyfriend in Spain.
The two of us are planning on getting married next year, which feels strange for us queer poly weirdos. But also kind of nice. 💞

Silly at is seems, I once thought I was too tall to be nonbinary.
All the examples I'd seen were faint and fey. Androgyny is often portrayed as small, femme, even dainty. How could I be 6'6" (198cm) and genderqueer?
Well, I already was! 🌈
Also: once you're my height you don't stand. You *loom*.

Berlin winter approaches, meaning it’s time to whip out the big coat…
It’s also a perfect opportunity to pair it with my new favourite lipstick! 💄

It was a fantastic reading at Berlin's Z-Bar last night! My friend Orla and I were performing a new short story of mine, a comedy horror that went down really well with the audience.
Despite being more introverted in my day-to-day life, I absolutely love being on stage. What a great evening!

Having a colourful day today! Green eyeshadow and sweater, pink trousers, an orange jacket, and a scarf that the shopkeeper helpfully informed me is “supposed to be for women”. Still, it fits my neck perfectly!
Hope everyone’s enjoying a bright and beautiful autumn so far!

It's the time of year when the veils between worlds grows thin. When we honour our dead and all they mean to us.
My friend RM Vaughan died five years ago, around now. No one knows exactly when.
He was a great writer, and (unknown to him) a role model. He'd never believe that.
I miss you, Richard.
