If you're a transfeminine author who's trying to fundraise for basic needs, gender affirming care, or to leave the United States, either drop your link in the replies or DM me.

I have a mutual aid plan that I'm gonna be working on this week.

Woodworking Check out Woodworking - <p><b>"Big-hearted and hilarious, an ode to authenticity and a must-read in our current times." --Shelby Van Pelt, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Remarkably Bri...

Not to follow this up with "buy my book," but researching very recent trans history -- the '80s and '90s -- for my novel helped inform my thinking on both our present and on my book, so, anyway, it is ABOUT THIS, so, yes, buy my book, or request it at your library!

Writing even contemporary YA sends me all the way back to my younger years. Why am I obsessively listening to Hanson? Sending pics of my favorite 2011 Bruins player to my friend? Surfing the To Write Love On Her Arms online shop?

In response to RFK Jr., Pritzker to sign first in nation executive order protecting autism data The governor's office said the executive order is in response to rising concerns about efforts to create federal autism registries or databases without legal safeguards or accountability.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday plans to sign an executive order to restrict the mass collection and sharing of autism-related data for Illinois residents, in response to the country’s top health secretary’s rhetoric around the cause of autism.

Was just looking for something in my older Google Drive when I stumbled upon a spreadsheet labeled "Things That Made Me Gay" and the only things on it were Taylor Hanson, '90s sports movie tomboys, and a girl in a backwards hat in an American Girl Doll Commercial.

I’m so happy for people who like sandals in any form but they fill me with fear and sensory panic and dissonance. And other normal things.

I'm very excited to share the first blurb for CLIMATE OF CHAOS by the indomitable Jen St. Jude @jenstjude.bsky.social. If you haven't had the chance to read Jen's deeply emotional and moving YA about mental health, love and hope at the end of the world, IF TOMORROW DOESN'T COME, I highly suggest it.
