Sylvie is my best friend and is one of the best writers I know. This is an incredible article about what it's like for her to live through the inhumanity of Kansas trying to strip away her identity and her ability to live in public. You should read it and share it widely.

I wrote an article for Harper's Bazaar about what it's like for trans people in Kansas (spoiler: it's bad). Read, share, and send some love to your trans loved ones.

I am extremely pissed about this. Not just because it happened to Meg, but because Southwest is the major carrier out of St. Louis - I flew with them 80% of the time. They've torched everything that made them different from other carriers and in the process lost my business.

If you're fat and you used to fly Southwest, I'd advise you to book with someone else from now on. #flyingwhilefat

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

I remember seeing an entire case of Gaiman at Powell’s City of Books in Portland last year and I couldn’t tell if that implied demand had cratered and nothing was moving or if it implied the story hadn’t made it out to general readership and he still demanded all that space.

An audiobook of the anthology "Lesbians in Space" narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal? Featuring my story "Hot Teeth," a zany heist story included on the 2025 Locus Recommended Reading List? You bet your boots—but only if we can get it funded!

2026 Semiquincentennial Dime Designs Recommended | CoinNews In 2026, the United States' 250th anniversary will introduce a unique, one-year-only design to the dime and other circulating coins.

Weirdly, these apparently were approved pre-Trump? I get the return of Columbia, but I don't understand the lack of olive branch at all. www.coinnews.net/2024/11/18/2026-semiquincentennial-dime-designs-recommended/

Adult Braces First off, and it has to be said: I love Lindy West. She’s a funny, inspiring, wonderful writer, and this book is no exception to those things despite how difficult I found it to read. I&#821…

Adult Braces absolutely fried me. I'm not saying you shouldn't read it. I'm saying if you're fat and #polyam, you basically have to. megelison.com/adult-braces

I met this cute girl in college and she was way smarter than me and she was a linguistics major and I knew I needed to take the survey class if I ever hoped to keep up with her.

(We now have a kid and a house and two cats.)

As warnings about AI “necromancy” circulate in Catholic discourse, Pagans once again appear as the unspoken cautionary tale. But the real ethical concern may not be communicating with the dead, but consent, authority, and imitation.

This comes after Trump threatened them for once having a trans student athlete.

As best I can tell it was just Trump manifesting that we are way ahead of schedule on achieving our war objectives, Iran is completely out of munitions, and it’s a lot of fun to sink unarmed ships.

Yeah I strongly dislike the left anti tax movement. There's no having a society just on the back of soaking the rich, even people far lower down the inequality ladder have to contribute. That's fine. We're all in this together.

For reference, Illinois spent a little over $11 billion on K12 education last fiscal year.
