I think we should normalize telling our friends that we love them more.
there are many different kinds of love other than romantic.

it also feels nice to say it and to hear it ❤️

if u don't know SWITCHED-ON BACH is insane because the Moog synth is monophonic. meaning every single note of every single chord in every song had to be overdubbed separately. she had to be extremely precise & meticulous to make that album work

I accidentally set my toaster on fire at 2am last night and honestly that feels like the vibe this week is going for.

well said!!

Exactly. It's just...fine. *shrug*

i feel like i'm the only one that's not connecting with rosalia's LUX. It's not that I didn't like it, but it's being treated as this mind-blowing life-changing experience and I'm just not hearing/feeling that at all.

another week, oh god another week

15 days later and I still can't believe I lost my dad so quick and suddenly, i'm just stunned. I miss my daddy so much beyond words can ever explain.

I lost my daddy to a sudden and shocking heart attack yesterday. I'm shattered. He was my best friend in the whole world.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Imagine if trans publishing could be a job instead of a vocation

there is a reason why I cannot pay myself to publish books even though we have an audience that wants them and it is because the margins are miniscule

You know what else should be more expensive? Books!

look i’m just gonna say it, the nytmag article about women taking testosterone activated everyone’s latent misogyny. you all need to shut the fuck up and stop scolding women for wanting their sex drive back or because they fuck men and you’re assuming their husbands are losers

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Vera Drew visited the Criterion Closet a year ago and there’s no video of her talking about the movies she picked?

bizarre love triangle, criminal, semicharmed life

Anyway this is my appeal, once again, that if you ever have an interesting take or critique of a trans book you read, WRITE IT DOWN. Make a free blog and publish it!

It's a desert out here, and the only way to become a critic is to just start doing it. Start now. Start yesterday.

there is dignity in just being

it is ok to be

At an industry thing for LittlePuss and was chatting about Gendertrash with ppl, expressing amazement it's been moving the numbers it has been (which I am still amazed by). It was then in real-time I realized in addition to everything else we did print a book with two hot girls kissing on the cover

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

being trans is not bourgeois. everyone i know and hold any respect for is broke as shit. if they have anything nice they broke the law for it. there's nothing to argue here

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

It's time for tradpub romance to let go of the cartoon book covers. we get it.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."
