I wrote a book!
It is on pre-sale right now. It is 20 bucks for nearly 200 pages of poems. This is the culmination of several years of work. It explores a lot of themes, love, loss, daddy issues. Religious abuse, transition, the end of the world. And so much more.
If you buy during pre-sale the physical copy ships mid-december but you get a free digital copy immediately!
Please feel free to share this post!
This is me. H from poetry others. This is it. the next big project after this blog. I appreciate everybody who followed along and hope some of you come on this journey too.

god those "primal" people who are like "our ancestors SLEPT ON THE GROUND and ate RAW MEAT and sometimes didnt eat for DAYS!! so thats how we should all be living its NATURAL!!" i truly am full of rage towards them.
like. first of all: being able to cook meat was Really Important for our evolution, so no dumbass, we arent "meant to eat raw meat" you fucking moron LOOK AT YOUR TEETH. WE ARE MADE TO EAT SAFELY COOKED MEAT.
second: who the fuck are these "ancestors". how far back are we going? modern humans? one of the other hominids? full monkee? you are idolizing a random point in our species' history because of whatever unscientific fantastical version of pre-modern life was. it wasnt hell on earth it wasnt paradise we were just LIVING.
third: DJFJSKBDFDSFCDHJFBS HARDER DOES NOT MEAN BETTER YOU CUNT. our ancestors lived hard lives because they HAD TO. and you know what? THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT EASIER!! do you fucking think people were laying on hard stone because of their amazing willpower? No! They were getting moss and animals pelts and shit to make it a little comfier! They were trying out spices! They were painting with their children! WE MADE CLOTHES FOR A REASON!!!
its just like. 100% based off the idea of early humans as jacked (white) cavemen who beat up dinosaurs with their hands and were constantly fighting. theres no humanity in your fantasy of early humans. our ancestors would be amazed and HAPPY with how far we've come with providing ourselves comfort and support. when someone was disabled in the past they werent (at least not always) killed or left to die. people cared for them! modern humans have a long, long history of making the best out of things and finding comfort where we can and always trying to make our lives better. eating raw liver doesnt make you better you dork
chantek the orangutan regularly requested ice cream and cheeseburgers via sign language, and happily made his own jewelry. many great apes in zoos, from chimps to gorillas, will thread beads on string and wear them. one gorilla was observed ripping a feed sack along the seams and wearing it as a little shawl when she was feeling sad. a young chimp was observed playing with a dead squirrel as she watched her mother care for her baby brother, rocking the soft little body and signing baby, baby, kiss. another chimp raised by a human demanded her caretaker check under her bed each night for black dogs and crocodiles. in college when i was taking art history we were shown a little round pebble with two dots and a crease, that looked like a face, that was found thousands of miles away from where it should have been, and it’s theorized that it must have been carried by an early hominid who saw the face, and liked it. many ancient cultures that never invented the wagon nonetheless built wheeled pull-toys for their children.
our ancestors ate delicious snacks as often as they could get them and some of the earliest tool use was drilling holes in stones to make beads and spinning fiber for string. our cousins still make nests and rain hats and hug each other when they’re sad and do tricks for peanut butter and grape juice. we have always been as soft as the world allowed.
Sorry guys I gotta give up tumblr and go squirm in the mud, it's what my ancestors did so it's the only good and natural behavior for me.
