This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

I haven't happily written like this in AGES (like, months and months), I could cry ahaha!!

I have been working on this goddamn story for months now, and SOMETHING today clicked. I have to scrap 90% of the shit I'd written but it's gonna work so much better now and I'm finally actually stoked about what I'm writing. LET'S GOOO.

Optimistic about this! Stoked to see liminal space getting its limelight.

A flex (literally and figuratively)

Would be so fun to have writers give 5-10 min presentations at a con about a specific niche thing they've learned during research for a project!

Oh the concrete mixer truck didn't exist until Ackert Bickel patented it in 1920? 10 years after my story is set?? Guess I'll kms

Writing historical fiction is just a series of repeatedly finding out a tool or patent or industry technology did not exist until oftentimes long after you are setting a story.

That’s fun! 🥹💓

Because I’m nosy: how did you and @boneysoups.bsky.social meet?

Never felt so at home at an art exhibit

I’m obsessed

I walked through it so many times that I think they turned it off as if to say ‘that’s enough!’ Lmao

Found this spectacular interactive exhibit called Thresholds by Michel de Broin at the Arsenal Contemporary Museum this weekend. Utterly giddy to walk through it again and again in what felt like a theatre set of Coup de Grâce.

In Criminal Justice Elections This Year, ICE Contracts Are on the Hot Seat - Bolts With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Oh! Ohhhh! New B.R. Yeager! Time trippin’! Ohhh!!! Get my fainting chair!
