Dr. Redfern Jon Barrett

Thank you! 💞

Yay! I have a couple Switch Pro controllers and a PS5 controller I use with my Steam Deck. I'm looking forward to it!

I would love to come along to this! Is there anything guests can bring? 🌈

Thank you, I’ll keep it in mind!

Going for cyberpunk colours today with a blend of neon pinks and oranges.

Now to meet some writer friends to share some feedback! 💗🧡

Just wrote the very first chapter of a new novel. The start is always a dizzying mix of thrilling and terrifying, and I can never tell how much of what I'm feeling is anxiety and how much excitement for what still lies ahead.

Being a writer is fun!

Here’s a cool thing, I’m being interviewed for this book alongside other queer creatives. Looking forward to having a big ol’ natter about transness & the genre.

It’s a super interesting subject and I’m really keen to see the finished book. So yeah, check this out if you like the Encybered Punks.

A selfie of Redfern in their bathroom. They’re wearing golden eyeshadow that cascades down to bronze near the lid. Their tattoo of a parrot is actually visible, a rarity for their social media these days.

Just finished reading in the bath – my favourite activity in my favourite place – and I’m now getting ready for the random movie night at my local cinema. I love having no idea what I’m going to see!

Have a golden evening! 💛

Haha same – that’s why I use my e-reader in the bath! It’s waterproof!

In my desperate search for a silver lining I’m hoping that this at least means “AAA” games won’t be able to keep demanding more and more expensive hardware just to animate the individual arm hairs of a bland lead character… that maybe more effort will be put into writing and novel gameplay.

Maybe?

A white background overlaid with vertical lines of binary code. A trans femme person of colour fills up one side of the graphic with two mechanical limbs and one hand raised into the air. Beside them, text reads ‘Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon’. Beneath, bolded in black, is text that reads ‘//Back Now’

I'm so sorry, it's an absolute disgrace. Solidarity from Berlin 💞

If you’re ever feeling down about yourself, remember that there are people who dedicate their entire lives to dismantling democracy and making vulnerable people less safe.

You could do absolutely nothing every single day and still be doing more good for the world than they are.

Say you have an entire shelf of physical books you've yet to read. Do you:

A. Diligently work your way through said books, feeling a sense of pride that you're finally clearing the shelf.

Or

B. Buy half a dozen e-books to read instead.

No prizes for guessing which option I've gone with... 🔥📚

The cover of The Giddy Death, which looks like a beer bottle with the title printed on the label.

My novel The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights was a finalist for the Bi Book Awards!

It also features polyamory, nonbinary characters, and drag!

If I’d known how 5G would allow people to constantly stream loud videos on trains, in queues, and across cafes I’d have been tempted to join the conspiracy theorists opposing it years ago.

Noise is the new cigarette smoke.

I'm delighted to have been interviewed for this incredible project – especially as it's alongside incredible trans+ icons like Jessie Gender and Stephanie Sterling! 💞

I've also just backed it! You can too, at this link:

All of the above, with a sentience beyond sentience!

It means it will have fermented into something lethally potent…

It looks so good!

Forgive my repetition of 'incredible' there! I shouldn't morning post until I've had at least one full coffee...

I made a post yesterday where I referred to it being 2025. I think we're having a do-over.

Also, I’ve apparently not caught up with the fact that it’s 2026 yet.
