I honor my body by moving it daily; because I understand that movement is a privilege and exercise is a celebration of what my body can do. No need to be extreme. Just consistent.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Hey, friends! Boosting this because donations have slowed down a bit. Thanks to those who’ve donated so far, PLEASE keep sharing. We’re about halfway there.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

hi, cis folks!

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

Cheers to Half of You..., by Izak 2 track album

Remember! If you support trans people in any even vaguely meaningful way, then you hate democracy and Americaβ€”so proudly show your disdain for this country by putting more money in the hands of evil trannies like me this #bandcampfriday.

No conversation about crime is useful unless we talk about what causes most city crime: exploitation and poverty.

Any intervention that isn't aimed at reducing the working class oppression that leads to poverty (wage slavery, for-profit housing, over-policing etc) will simply not work

When I was ghostwriting gay werewolf romances the client once emailed me an idea & ended it with "you get the jizz." He wasn't being funny, he just honestly thought the saying was "you get the jizz" & I think about that every now & then. I wish him well

Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

He was so good with BDM! I will miss him for sure. The Sunless Empire solo will live on as one of my favorites of their whole catalogue.

Two happy queers smile next to each other. The one on the left has long blonde hair and wears glasses, a hat, earrings, and a white shirt. The one on the right wears a black newsboy hat and a black button up shirt with lemons on it.
