The Masque of the Black Death

Posted March 16, 2020 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Death, Digital Media & Videogames, Literature & Narrative, Poetry & Prose, Politics, Psychology, Religion, Social Interaction & Networks

The Plague laughs behind its mask, because it can wear any.

Requiem aeternam

Posted November 15, 2019November 19, 2020 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Death, Gender & Sexuality, Psychology, Religion

In a sig­ni­fic­ant sense, I died on the night of Novem­ber 19th, 2017.

Jealousy

You want what is not yours : jealousy /
You want what you can­not have : jealousy

Ace of Cups

Posted July 16, 2019July 16, 2019 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Death, Dreams, Gender & Sexuality, Psychology

When you have a hys­teric per­son­al­ity (dis­order), like I do, all the world is a stage.

On Larissa Glasser’s F4

Posted February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Literature & Narrative, Poetry & Prose, Posts by Topic:, War, Violence & Terrorism

Larissa Glasser’s F4 is filthy, bizarre, ultra-viol­ent, and hyper-(trans-)sexual, and I’m sure it’s meant to be all those things.

Self-love #1: conquering ‘narcissism’

Posted December 12, 2018December 12, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Psychology

A requiem for a man that’s not in my life anymore.

The List

Posted November 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, War, Violence & Terrorism

There’s a list, and on the 20th of Novem­ber, that list gets read (aloud) by many trans people around the world, in remem­brance of their depar­ted sib­lings. #TDoR2018

The Pseudo-Hysterical Female Man

Posted November 18, 2018November 19, 2018 Odile AuroraLeave a commentPosted in Gender & Sexuality, Literature & Narrative, Poetry & Prose, Politics
