Talk to people about your passion projects - listen to them talk about yours. Capitalism and scarcity mindsets constantly limit the boundaries of what we believe is possible, and it's so important reject boundary-making. You are world-making.

I need folks to read this short story today. I think it does a better job than a non-fiction essay harangue of highlighting the real danger of ignoring Indigenous Ppls with alm this 51st state talk and tariff warring. Especially in area with NO TREATY.

If you're new here, I will never accept that settler colonial nations have any right to exist. Decolonization means Indigenous land and life-ways back, no cops, no landlords, and probably other stuff that might twist up your ginch so beware.

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Palestinians Share Moments of Joy as They Return to North Gaza for First Time in Months β€œWe had thought we wouldn’t return, like our ancestors,” one Palestinian said.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians crossed the Netzarim Corridor to return to North Gaza after 15 months of genocide. β€œIt’s the joy of return. We had thought we wouldn’t return, like our ancestors.”

Neo Nazis in St. Albert? Quelle surprise. St. Albert was originally a MΓ©tis community, but MΓ©tis were displaced by white settlers as a part of propping up the white supremacist settler colonial state. This shit is baked in folks, Canada is not superior to the U.S. I fear.

So I quit my University position but I have no speaking gigs scheduled for February at all. If Indigenous topics/futurisms is at all your thing, you should hire me!

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.
