I have some more that I couldn’t find for this post, but here’s some selected works from my bookshelf. Fun fact! I actually wrote two of them

Hey y’all~! My name’s Mikaylah-Rosalina (“Rose” for short), and I’m a New Orleans-based student organizer and political activist, and for the past 10 months I’ve been writing essays, delivering speeches, and thinking on all manner of political, philosophical, and and even personal problems from the perspectives of dialectical materialism and the Juche idea. I decided to compile those written works into this collection and I’d love to hear what people think. For a little extra context, I’m a member of the New Students for a Democratic Society and the work (esp Volume 1) contains a number of essays about that line of work. 

Volume 1 focuses primarily on the political and theoretical and includes some fiery speeches, political analyses from the student movement, and an extended essay on a materialist-dialectical conception of identity. 

Volume 2 turns the theory inward and focuses on some personal and subcultural matters from that same perspective. Volume 2 includes a dialectical understanding of ADHD, some theses on internet puppygirls, and a letter to my future child about why we struggle for a better world. 

These are self-published, so I’m doing my best to get them out there. If you’re interested, you can find them HERE, but I’m just as happy to discuss the ideas here!

A few of the essays can be read HERE

Sorry if this isn’t the right place, but I just wanted to see what people thought. If you do choose to check them out, let me know, and I hope you enjoy them!

Hey y'all~! My name is Rose (well "Mikaylah-Rosalina" but that's long asl), and I’ve just released the first two volumes of my collected works series, The Starshine Essays. I’m a New Orleans-based student organizer and political activist, and for the past 10 months I’ve been writing essays, delivering speeches, and thinking on all manner of political, philosophical, and and even personal problems from the perspective of dialectical materialism. In those 10 months, I’ve decided to collect a lot of my written works into this collection. 

Volume 1 focuses primarily on the political and theoretical and includes some fiery speeches, political analyses from the student movement, and an extended essay on a materialist-dialectical conception of identity. 

Volume 2 turns the theory inward and focuses on some personal and subcultural matters from that same perspective. Volume 2 includes a dialectical understanding of ADHD, some theses on internet puppygirls, and a letter to my future child about why we struggle for a better world. 

Some of my favorite pieces are available on my website for free, and Volumes 1 & 2 are both available for $14.49 on Lulu.com.

You can buy Volume 1 HERE and Volume 2 HERE

Hello everybody~!! I spent the day yesterday taking pictures in the French Quarter for my birthday (except the first picture which is on my college campus and I took today). I'm still learning, but I wanted to show y'all these. They're all shot in 48 MP ProRAW on iPhone 17 Pro Max and graded in either Affinity or Photomator.

Hey y'all~! Today's my birthday and I took some selfies to celebrate. The vertical graphic was actually a commissioned birthday present (shout out to Rashid Younus on Fiverr for the Arabic calligraphy). I stylized these with extra graphics because well... I wanted to. The Arabic translates to, "The Lord of all worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious, has made me Mikaylah." I'm a semi-practicing Muslim revert and while I understand that many of us trans folk struggle with religion, my faith has aided a good bit in my transition. Alhamdullilah and thank you all so much for this community.
