My third eye is twitching
Queering the crashout, spiritual psychosis, things I've saved.
Hey again. This one is all about collecting things: screenshotting texts, archiving quotes, scribbling in your Notes app. All stuff that can generate juicy source material. Here’s a poem of sorts, assembled from words, fragments and conversations. Plus a handful of things that I’ve taken mental screenshots of lately. The open tabs in my brain, if you will.
My third eye is twitching
this full moon really has me out of whack feeling super anxious lol ☆ my third eye is twitching ☆ i think i’m cursed ☆ i’m being divinely protected by the hypoallergenic pet food mascots ☆ my body is a haunted house ☆ chin up queen your veil made of shame is slipping ☆ maybe she’s just edging the self destruct button ☆ i think i have carbon monoxide poisoning from all the crazy fucking change happening lately ☆ this new season of your life could be frightening ☆ 2025 the year of the snake was not your year. 2026 the year of the horse will be yours ☆ self diagnosed diva ☆ found a grey hair ☆ my plants are wilting ☆ reiki healer told me not to date right now ☆ you’ve been listening to loads of angsty music lately, probably bc ur in such an era atm ☆ once my frontal lobe developed i realised i didn’t know fucking anything ☆ it’s ok to be scared, girls are really dangerous and scary ☆ she likes to stir stuff up unconsciously ☆ queering the crashout ☆ i dry my tears using my panda teddy’s paws ☆ had a dream that you stole and ate half my orange ☆ really happy right now which makes me nervous because something bad is surely bound to happen ☆ you have such a unique vibe like a creature from the sea ☆ can picture you in an evil tower laughing. like edna mode ☆ jesus man you’re fucking going through something ☆ sometimes you have to do crazy stuff to get yourself out into the world ☆ the sadness can be managed and will dissolve

Things I’ve taken a mental screenshot of lately
The Filton 25 trial and the surrounding campaign to protest the Palestine Action activists being sentenced as terrorists by the UK courts. A genuinely terrifying case against a bunch of very brave, admirable people. The sentencing hearing is taking place today at Woolwich Crown Court, with supporters being asked to mobilise outside.
These ominous dispatches from my Notes app.
Yes I know there's a checkbox option and no, I don't know why I refuse to use it Working Girl: On Selling Art and Selling Sex by Sophia Giovannitti, which I’m revisiting after first reading it a few years back. I was struck by this excerpt and love this way of approaching creative work.
Silent Twins: Without My Shadow, a 1994 documentary about June and Jennifer Gibbons, a pair of twins with selective mutism that eventually evolved into a toxic psychological bond that led to the pair being institutionalised for eleven years. So moving and devastating. I want to read both of their books.
My emotional support scrapbook and the spreads I’ve been having fun making.
Tickets to Dublin Modular’s Queer Debs Yard party, a staple in the Dublin Pride circuit. The event always sells out in minutes so my tickets were purchased breathlessly at my desk at work. My co-worker El nabbed hers at the same time, and I had to laugh at the image of us both furiously refreshing our laptops and clutching our rainbow-striped Revolut cards.
This website which shows you a Rothko painting based on your current weather and location at that time. Dublin’s one on a Wednesday after work in June was, naturally, grey.
This video, which struck a chord within me for its sheer aesthetic perfection. The choreo, the styling, the makeup, no notes.
This are.na board by Chrissy Brimmage containing quotes/images/ephemera all about light.
This cover of Crank It by Slayyter mixed with Bags by Clairo that I saw on TikTok, which is seeping with such sheer lesbian yearning that it gave me a lump in my throat. I’ve pre-saved the full cover which is dropping soon and I expect to be bumping it every day on my walk to work.
Thanks for reading, would love to hear from you in the comments!
Back next week ♡
