i can’t be this or that when i fee like something other.

when presented with the question my lips fuse shut. i can’t be this or that when i feel like something other. girls play with dolls. boys play with cars. i played alone. i am neither or perhaps both. i could be the stroke of midnight. a liminal in-between. the witching hour. silence electrified. i’m that oversized flannel shirt and those acid-washed jeans. weighed down under societal pressure. the hangman’s noose. normativity wrapped around my neck. dead weight. i want to be a pleated skirt. to swim in delicate fabric folds. flowers embroidered into my failing flesh. heaving bags of cement to fill in past trauma. of boys don’t cry. hidden in the closet. once called fairy now they. i come out once again.

A week into 2026 and the world continues to go to shit. I'm dealing with this the only way my autistic writerly brain knows how - by buying books from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social I'm in my overdraft but I regret nothing. Can't wait for them to arrive and curl up with a coffee. #books #reading

Highly recommend courses by @cbcreative.bsky.social their 30 day writing bootcamp is a fantastic way to keep you motivated with writing and the writing gothic and supernatural fiction really helped propel my WIP. Check out their website. #writingcommunity

Elle crumpled the duvet over her mouth to muffle a scream. Feet scraped across the floorboards as the porcelain doll clambered onto the bed. Its dress stained crimson and that pallid face flecked with blood. Eyelids drifted closed and then shot open as a mischievous giggle filled the room. #WriteCBC
