A pencil illustration of a very thin woman in a long victorian nightgown leaning out of the top of a tower. Overlaid are the first few paragraphs from the prologue.

An illustration of an angry mermaid with shark teeth and sharp nails swimming towards the viewer. There is text that reads "NO TERFS NO SWERFS IN MY SURF"

Today seemed like a good day to update my NO TERFS NO SWERFS IN MY SURF art into something more badass. Shark teeth and sharp claws. Fix your hearts or end up chum.

Black Transfemme Literary Springtime 2025 is the best year for Black transfeminine fiction ever. So why is nobody talking about it?

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

What began as a simple reading list of forthcoming Black transfemme novels blossomed into a full critique of White supremacist publishing, Black literary erasure, and the supplementarity of the Black transfemme body as text 🖤

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

Lots of fear and uncertainty on my skyline for the last few days, but it's more crucial now than ever that we keep the focus on CONCRETE ACTION that everyone can be taking in the face of this mess.

I've collected a short list of folks who've helped me to keep my focus on that crucial benchmark.

Just glanced at my phone while coughing, and my eyes crossed in such a way that I thought I'd received a notification from OKStupid. Ideal dating app for me, honestly.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

So weird how life insists on going on like this. I had to take my cats to the vet this week, and I solemnly explained to them that, while they may not believe me right now, I promise that being a human is much, much worse.

Three Things You Can Do Right Now to Combat Anti-Trans Censorship (CW #9) A printable zine of the Trans Literature Preservation Project, nationwide action on December 3rd, 2024, and more!

Even if you don’t have the spoons right now to read the article, I would URGE you to download it so you can have access later no matter what.

There is a PDF download link at the top of the article.

If you want a printed copy, there is a printable zine below:

Hope you also have time to rest up and feel better, but I respect the dedication!

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

I passed a sign in front of a church on the highway that was advertising two events, one of which is presumably a dinner. However, as I zipped by this sign, all I could clearly make out was "HOT TURKEY DANCE PARTY" and I've never wanted to attend an event more.

I put toothpaste on my razor this morning. Whether I was going to shave with the toothpaste or put the razor in my mouth is, thankfully, unknown!

TONIGHT!

Any particular recommendations?

Ooh, we got one of those as a junk mail "gift" in June and I've wondered what to do with it! This sounds like a great option.
