not so gentle reminder that academia belongs to the queer, the weary, the women, the people of color, the poor, the ill just as much as it does the rich, the white, the privileged. if your academia isn't accessible, i don't want it.

“I wish I could sleep like I did. The greedy way I spread myself in a bed, arms and legs splayed. Unafraid of taking space and using it. I used to be unwakeable, heavy weight against my pillow wet with spit. The spellcasting doesn’t help with sleep, the whole world still undimmable.”
— — Naima Tokunow, from “DEVOTIONS RESURRECTED,” Shadow Black

Time for a little gay fantasy romance [ID: a digital painting featuring a unicorn woman with a mermaid in her lap. They are both fat and nude and gazing at each other longingly. The unicorn woman is black with cream hair and has the legs of a faun, a tail, and a horn. The mermaid is white with dark blue hair and tail. She has a long tail with fins and she is a left arm amputee. They are sitting on some grassy rocks in the foreground. in the distance behind them is a castle on a cliff. The colors are mostly soft pastels.]
