Should go without saying, but this is indefensible, full stop. All the arguments defending it amount to collective punishment. Nothing, nothing, nothing can justify this, ever, anywhere, at all.

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.

I've accepted my limitations. I can't do everything, I can't read everything, I can't organize beyond my limits.

But if you care about trans knowledge, now is as good a time as any to give my primer on the topic a read:

"As a trans mom who fought for custody of my daughter in 1995β€”without a lawyer, at the very start of my transitionβ€”my story is more urgent than ever."

Trans Mom vs. Family Court Justice Sees No Gender

An important new one-woman show about a trans parent needs your support!

In 1994, a trans musician faces the threat of losing her child if she chooses her authenticity. Her transition triggers a vicious custody battle; she fights overwhelming odds for the right to parent her child.

It’s actually super annoying that my purpose in life is to be joyful, raise kids in a gay ass household, and do live art but now I’m forced to care about geopolitics because of like 5 fucking white men in a group chat. I should not have to care about men who don’t wear heels.

Canada kept a far-right, Trump asskisser from becoming Prime Minister so in honor of that here is some Le More Velvet Red alpaca/silk yarn. 🧢

No blue bc Canada said no to being the 51st State.

There is still work to do, so keep your gloves on.
