Monster Issues

Hello all,

Today’s newsletter is sponsored by the need to shake off the dust from this draft. Also, this week will be full of links where you can see the fun pictures, and hopefully I will have the fun pictures on my blog by the time I update that 🙂 forgive me my picture-less sins.

Poetry of the Week

Hallowed Be Thy Body (updated link)

I’m quite proud of this one. It was actually the missing piece I needed to send this newsletter out. I wish I didn’t feel every word, and I hope even more that you don’t relate. But if you do, I welcome you with open arms.

Things I’ve learned, laughed about, and/or obsessed over

  • Medusa and monstrosity as an allegory of self-acceptance, especially for women, AKA female rage with a side of (understandable, although maybe not excusable) toxicity
the feminine urge to embrace the monstrous as an allegory for self-acceptance
typing "fuck" on my phone duck with a knife
"our hero character is depicted as a single-minded, murderous force of nature that cannot be reasoned with." John Wick has a lot in common with Kirby.
to fear kirby is to fear the very mysteries of cosmic being, not me tho may the pink orb bless us in this life and the next hence why i always play kirby
  • Organizing my Google photos into the following albums:
    • Unionize Eldest Daughters – explains Why I Am Like This™
    • The Urge To Create And To Love And To Cherish – I just love love and its byproducts such as creativity, okay?
    • Women as Monsters – explains the core of my being
    • Physical Touch – explains why I’m such a great hug
to much love little stuffed lamb little stuffed animal lamb
oh to be loved and worn down and turn into something else for it still yourself by now fundamentally changed rather be aware of your imperfection through love than remain perfect and unloved

Personal Chisme

chisme = gossip

  • Some small wins:
    • Starting a new routine, even if only works for a little
    • Gaining some kind of decision on the future
    • Being kind (at least I hope so)
  • Highly debating writing some kind of expose on Sweetgreen. Could be fun. All of my fury has to go somewhere, right?

The Void Shouts Back

If you would like to respond but don’t know what to say, answer the question below. If you don’t want to, just respond with keysmashing or send me a hug with your thoughts. If you don’t want to do that either, that’s okay too.

  • Any personal projects you’re excited about? I would love to see them!!

Me? Being six months late to updating my Xismosa Xit page and blog posts on Colochos de Flores? Why would you even say that? 

In the meantime, as you accuse me of procrastinating, I hope you like some of my stickers!

Abrazos and/or high fives,

Ariana
