I never knew how to put it into words. There was something powerful distilled in places that spent decades alone, silently deteriorating, that made me feel I could almost make out through the shimmering mirage of the waking world. I was watching these places go somewhere, become something, but it wasn't time yet for me to see it. It ached to be so close to something I could never define.

Boosting two groups I recently set up, that might be of interest to people #AmWriting #AmReading

These are un-moderated guppe groups. You tag your posts to boost. Follow them to see posts in your Home feed.

@auslit - Australian Literature. Share book recommendations, talk about literature & writing, or connect with Australian writers

@indigenousauthors - for Indigenous-authored literature only. Share book recommendations, connect with Indigenous writers, talk about Indigenous-authored literature.

Non-Indigenous/White people: please respect the purpose of this #IndigenousAuthors group, and don't use it to boost non-Indigenous literature or research, or to centre your own writing practice.

(I know umbrella terms are problematic & potentially culturally inappropriate, but I'm using "Indigenous" to be inclusive of First Nations, Aboriginal, Pasifika, Native American, and other First Peoples globally)

I'm back in my new flat! Coloured this roaring moon ink drawing to ease back into things.
Had a nice break and I can't wait to get back into my projects again!

Microns and digital colour.

“Meeting expectations since 1994.”

Ever since the aliens came, dating was…weird. But the Chrysididae were planning to stay, the last military resistance crushed that first long winter. So when Glint came up on the dating app, profile photo emphasizing just how handsome its obsidian humanoid lure was, I couldn't help swiping right.

It's normal to have a favorite index entry, right? #index

👋🏼 About time for my #introduction.

I am a proud #sanfrancisco resident and California native, but #travel as often as I can manage.

I am passionate about #infosec, #privacy, content systems, and #hiking. Oh, and emojis 🙋🏼‍♂️

More intermittent interests are #photography, #PublicTransit, #civics, and #SolarPunk.

I should probably redo my introduction post. My last was 5 years ago 😬​

Hi! I'm Jaz, a 47 year-old N-B trans woman and part of the #twittermigration

Although I've had an account here for a while I haven't used it all that much because I've pretty much only the bandwidth to cope with one social media thingy at a time

My hobbies include reading, pineapple, drawing, writing, cooking, politics, and law

At the moment my pfp is my Halloween one, so please don't be put off by the glowing, fiery eye 🤣​
