Content Warning:

The following content may contain topics or themes that could be found emotionally triggering or cause emotional distress.

Most of the Shady Sapling content is rooted in my experience as a 36-year-old tranfemme poet living in the occupied land of the American West. General topics directly informing and present in my creative expression include:

• Mental health struggles, mainly dealing with severe anxiety and depression

• Self-harm.

• Substance abuse

• The emotional and physical harm suffered due to prejudice against the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. 

  For any explicit content not mentioned above, I will do my best to state additional, specific content warnings at the start of individual posts.
