As a trans person who writes cyberpunk, damn am I interested in this

A trans femme of colour with a mechanic arm and a leg rising up into the air above a cyberpunk city. Waves of pink and grey energy swirl from their hands and weave between vertical lines of binary code. A variety of other Trans+ people and standing and seated on the tops of buildings and floating platform. The text reads: ‘Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon – Stefanie Carter Cuthbert’. Artwork by Lyss Menold

You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover…

But come on. @lyssmenold.bsky.social has created something absolutely incredible.

And yes, superlatives are very much required when it comes to Trans+ art. Just look at it!

I only hope the inside of the book will turn out as good.

cyberpunk belongs to trans people, and this book is gonna be full of razor-sharp analysis and commentary about cyberpunk stories past, present, and fifteen minutes into the future. trust me, you wanna go back this and be a part of it!!

(also i’m gonna be editing it 👀)

Oh gosh, I didn’t realise you were here on Bluesky, Lillian. Otherwise I would have tagged you.

And now 20% 🥲

I live in a small market town in the county of England dubbed Brexit heartland. So, yeah, I know exactly where you’re coming from 😅

Hey, there's a lot going on right now, and before now, and most likely after now, so here's a reminder to take your meds, drink water, make that thing that you wanna make, get outside if you're able.

Tilly's Trans Tuesdays podcast guest interest form for trans creatives Hi! I'm Tilly Bridges, a trans woman author, screenwriter, television writer, director, comic writer, animation writer, game writer... you get the drift. I've been writing weekly essays on trans life ...

HEY trans and nonbinary creatives!

do you have a project you'd like to promote? would you like to be on the Tilly's Trans Tuesdays podcast to do just that? and get to talk with me (i have it on good authority i'm super fun and cool)?

then this form is for you! 🌟

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims.

Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access.

Are you getting it yet?

See, this is what I was expecting the transhumanist panel at FC to be like. Not the AI slop techbro circlejerk it ended up being.

Rumour has it that I was interviewed for this

Lootboxes? Epstein
Rowling? Epstein
The democrats giving up on trans people in 2024? Epstein
The rise of anti-trans rhetoric generally? Epstein

You know the advantage of all of this is that if they get only 10% of these people I'll still get some catharsis out of it

The UK reporting on the Epstein files focusing only on one man is so tedious. No conversation about the wider issue, its just "hOw cOuLd a RoYal DOOO sUch a ThIng!?" as if that type of billionaire should be uniquely virtuous.

Reminder that the queen obviously knew and protected him for years.

This is the way

A promising beginning

Announcing: Nameless A sample from my first novel!

Trans rights are a matter of opinion to most cis people. Not something that should get in the way of them getting a job or cashing a paycheque.

They think disagreeing is enough, when JKR is leading a billion dollar crusade to strip rights away from trans people using Harry Potter money.

Yes. Very much interested.

I'm publishing a queer fantasy story on the first of every month this year, alternating between reprints and exclusive new releases with the goal to build up my readership over here. February is this one, March is gay isekai ✨

I’ve had the privilege to watch this idea sprout blossom over the last few months so let me assure you - this book’s gonna be so special. If you can, back it, you won’t regret it

I've gotten a sneak peak of this book, and I am SO excited for it.

You should back this if you want a fascinating analysis of the history and current state of the art of (trans) cyberpunk!!!

(I'm also writing the forward for it!!)
