Any freelance designers/typesetters looking for book work? I have a client looking to expand their pool.

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

A selfie of me with a much higher undercut than I've had in a few years. I'm wearing a nylon cape and there are all sorts of reflections of my patchy scalp in the three-way mirror hanging off the door behind me.

This made me laugh in spirit, experience, and solidarity. Thank you, Jessica.

Fuck Long Covid. And if you don't have it yourself (yet), I recommend you try to avoid it. Be smart, be kind, and wear a mask.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

The banner for The Power of Pride Bundle 2026. It depicts a black cat taking a nap amongst an assorted pile of objects associated with projects that may be submitted into the bundle, including a pink game controller, a pencil and paper, a musical note, a 6-sided die, a book, and a black power fist. A rainbow sits behind the logo and cat.

The creator is also seeking more insights from people who fit the following intersections:

- Black Trans+ creators of cyberpunk
- Current / former Trans+ sex workers who have created / are creating cyberpunk
- Disabled Trans+ creators of cyberpunk

I was today years old when I realized that "a whole other kettle of fish" referred to a fish kettle, that fish kettles are a thing, and the expression isn't about fish in a tea kettle.

Thirding this! Another lower-budget option is to have a copyeditor (like Steph) look at a shorter piece, like a chapter of a novel, and give you professional feedback on your grammar etc. You can learn a lot from that and then apply it to the rest of your work.

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...

Lighting up the Scrivener bat signal! Anybody know why tf it's refusing to let me drag image files into my "research" folder the way the internet says it ought to? It insists it's going to convert the file into text, which is...not what's supposed to happen?? Search is not availing me...
