hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Trans class update: the youths love "Nevada."

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

I've been working on two different long-form projects this year, but just know that if you're ever interested in bringing on a genre reader or class speaker etc, I am HERE & super game to discuss short stories forever!

if you've read my work, this is probably the big one:

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

I regret to inform you all we must retire the word “fucking.”
So long fucking, you served us so, uh, damn well.

Yesterday I did high intensity hot yoga, walked five miles, and attended a Renee Rapp concert. So naturally, my body feels like a frozen shrimp today.

guys, I don't think I have it in me to start up with a new social media space; if the bsky team can't get their shit together I think I'll just walk into the sunset and live irl for a while

“… the data out of Montgomery County, Maryland makes one thing unmistakably clear: this crusade is not a mass movement. It’s the obsession of a vanishingly small minority …”

okay we're taking the word "autogynephilic" away from showrunners. that's enough of that.

It’s becoming abundantly clear that an unfortunately large amount of men voted for Trump as a display of performative masculinity and had little to no comprehension or interest in his actual policies.

Fun fact, this show was co-created by notorious asshole Ryan Murphy who Indya Moore just called out for being dead fucking silent on trans people since the end of POSE, and especially following Janet Mock publicly speaking about how trans women of color were not properly paid for that show

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

Oh my

So, uh, how bad of an idea is it to mention Fictionmania during my lecture on Nevada tomorrow? Do we think the undergrads can handle that?

This queer, culty, corporate dystopian sci-fi horror graphic novel is a page turner, but my favorite part is @mattielubchansky.com’s critical treatment of social anthropology.

Honored to have a chance to review it! Thanks for making such incredible art

honored to see this truly kind read of the book ~ www.autostraddle.com/simplicity-m...

I was planning on getting this book anyway but now need to get this book IMMEDIATELY

What an incredible review!

Mattie Lubchansky’s Folk-Horror Graphic Novel ‘Simplicity’ Is Transcendent Lubchansky illustrates trans sexuality as sensual and transcendental but also with all the messy awkwardness and vulnerability that comes with human intimacy.

I had the pleasure of reviewing @mattielubchansky.com’s incredible new graphic novel,“Simplicity,” for @autostraddle.bsky.social!

Scheduling gender surgery shit is so exhausting. Love waiting months just to get a consultation.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

instead of seasons we should separate the year into warm enough to play mermaids and cold enough to play vampires.

When's their flags at half-mast? When's their bipartisan resolution? When do these children get 24/7 coverage of their too-short lives and endless interrogation of their murderer's ideology?
