Hack At, Play With, & Shape.
A downloadable fleshy nonsense
All of the work ahead of you was collected, created and stitched together for TRANSFUCKINGRAGE JAM, an incredible multimedia jam I am proud to be apart of.
Please check it out when you're done here, there is great work to be found.
In the meantime, enjoy my fleshy-nonsense.
Yours To [Hack At, Play With and Shape] is a short series of poetry and songs created from whatever viscera and heart I had to spare.
It talks of feeling like a monster, being trans, and channelling your self-destructivity into something more akin to reconstruction.
- But that is just what a carcass thinks.
Every word of this was designed to have its meanings torn apart, to be made into whatever you need it to mean, and to become Yours.
Yours to do whatever the hell you want with.
I hope you find something for yourself in this.
That is what I created this for.
Now - to drop the magic a little - ahead of you, in the download link, will be five poems with five matching songs, as well as a content-warning/overview doc going over the specifics of what you can expect from each work.
and, as a sidenote I really recommend headphones for this, and to read along with the pdf as you listen. I am far from a prolific mixer and even without that, everything was recorded on my boyfriend's gaming headseat.
Below these words are a full list of content warnings to be aware of, and some links to my social media and email - if you need anything at all to access this project, please contact me, I want you to read this and I want to know what you think.
Content Warnings:
- Minor Body Horror Elements Throughout
- Implication of Death
- Self-Violence
- Implied Violence / Threats of Violence
- Surreal Imagery / Unreal Imagery
- Non-Graphic Drawings of Bones / Blood / Teeth
[A more detailed breakdown of where each of these appear throughout the poetry can be found in the content warning document available to download and is accessible here]
And lastly all of the music, drawings, and poetry submitted here were made by me, Atlas-Eel H. (They/She/It) !!

COMMUNITY COPIES!
I am absolutely against the concept of anyone spending money on this project unless they are stable enough to spare it without worry. This is a project made by a trans anarchist for trans anarchists.
We are poor but we still need art.
I know how long I have spent debating with myself about whether a Community Copy is for me - and let me tell you, as the creator of this work and as a struggling trans person myself - this was always for you.
My work is meant to be enjoyed without worry.
Access as you wish.
More community copies will come with each purchase,
More still with each purchase at or above the suggested amount! <3

This is a really beautiful collection; highly recommend. 'A Flesh-Etched Tower Card' in particular made me tear up.
A quietly powerful collection of tender rage.
This set of spoken word/poetry is absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching and put so many words to the things that i have felt.
