Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Pay attention.

Guys, I know I’ve posted this article a lot in the last two weeks. But I’m so serious.

They’re not fucking around, and major executive action aimed at trans literature could happen as soon as tomorrow. The time to take action to protect trans books and authors is *now.*

Photo of a dog with light brown hair, sitting and staring at the camera.

My incredible dog, Clover, was attacked by another dog last night while out on a walk.

We had to take her to the emergency room for sutures and other care.

She's in recovery, but we have an unexpected bill now.

So I'm running a quick sale. Please share this!

Well said! Every attack on trans people is an effort to both:
- manufacture rage for distraction/fundraising purposes
- drive trans people out of public life

And the logistics of the policies always boil down to Republicans making cis women less safe while simultaneously blaming trans people.
