been a tough month. really depressed for most of it, almost drowned last week as well. it was really scary.
only highlights were visiting my friend in Miami and attending a great NXT show in Houston where Chris Hero gave me a huge hug that made me feel better since I’ve been so down. other than that, it’s been really tough mentally for me.
Got to see WALTER vs Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) up close. Ohno vs WALTER felt like Chris Hero trying to prove that he’s still Chris Fucking Hero. And he proved it, and then got on the mic to put over WALTER to the AXXESS crowd. Felt like two heavyweights fighting with the spirit of lighterweight Mexican boxers. They both took lots of punishment. What a great match, one of my favorites for this weekend.
Hi, I’m excited to announce that my new poetry chapbook is now on sale over at Gumroad. I’ve been sharing drafts of these poems over the past few months, but here’s the official description:
The poems of out of a wilderness of tangled cables are experimental poems, political poems, and, above all, they are love poems. These poems form a cry from within the rotting walls of a building patrolled by racist landlords for a future without hierarchies, where none of us are marginalized or left in isolation. The language of these restless, splintered near-sonnets weaves together recurring natural scenes, fragments of the Spanish I once spoke at home, ghosts of the love and life-saving conversations I’ve shared with trans women, echoes of the ever-present surveillance (the digital, the internalized, the cisgender) that haunts our every move, and a bloody, vengeful prayer for the end of all that profits from our suffering.
