there are trans people here by h. melt is a collection of poetry primarily focusing on trans joy and trans futures, two aspects of trans life that are often overshadowed by trans pain and death. i’ve included two poems i really appreciated for their perception of liberation and freedom.

a few days ago jamesissmiling asked us to think about how we were complicit in nex benedict’s murder. i have not been paying close attention to all of the bills and resolutions in the us because i’ve been hyper-focused on palestine, even though they are connected and i have the capacity to care about both. my memory isn’t great and i have a ton of blank notebooks, so i’m going to start keeping a record of the bullshit laws our governments are trying to pass, including anti-trans legislation. i also have a high capacity for letter writing and as i continue to write to my reps about palestine, i will also start writing to them about trans issues (if anyone has extra stamps or envelopes, send them my way).
