sea, swallow me
this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.
her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!
Your voice = euphoria
6/15/24
Your voice a stream, gentle and unceasing,
flows through the corridors of my being.
Each word, a note, delicate and clear,
touches the core, awakening something deep.
In the morning, your whispers break the dawn,
softly calling the day into being.
At night, your tone cradles the dark,
bringing a calm that settles the stars.
The world is a tapestry of sounds,
but your voice, a thread that weaves through,
creating patterns only the soul can see,
a quiet song that lifts the heart.
In the presence of your voice, I am whole,
each syllable a breath that fills my soul.

Risk
6/12/24
In the quiet depths of hesitation,
Lies the echo of spoken desire.
To leap into the unknown expanse,
Is to dance with the shadows of fear.
Risk, a silent companion,
Whispers of both joy and pain.
In the void of certainty's absence,
We’ll find the truth of our fate.
A journey embarked, uncharted,
Navigating the maze of possibility.
For in the gamble of the unknown,
Lies the canvas of our truest selves.
In this venture, you will never be alone
Hand in Hand, we’ll brave the void.
For in the leap, we find surety
With a shared breath of “if you jump, I jump.”
i ask you how you are and i'm saying "i love you" i send you a 15 minute voice note and i'm saying "i love you" i remember your coffee order and i'm saying "i love you" i watch the movie you recommended and i'm saying "i love you" i send you a movie you'd love and i'm saying "i love you" i buy the extra large bag to share and i'm saying "i love you" and i'm saying "i love you" and i'm saying "i love you" and i'm saying "i love you"

Ningen by William 巴特尔 Bao
Early accounts sourced from a Japanese internet forum circa 2007- The Ningen. A gigantic man shaped whale like creature that stalks the frigid waters of the South Pole. First to be sighted in the early 2000s by Japanese whaling ships illegally hunting in the Antarctic water. For a creature so large it seems to be extremely skilled at evading human eyes. Some blurry evidence from underwater cameras hinted at its existence from time to time but researchers still lack any concrete evidence. The creature’s white beluga like skin tone suggests it evades detection by camouflaging with giant underwater icebergs, perhaps even pretends to be chunks of floating icebergs, making the search for the Ningen’s illusive figure even more difficult in an already harsh environment.
