They/them. An ace, agender, autistic fren-shaped person. Owned by three cats. And a Roomba with googly eyes. Roughly 1/3 cats, 1/3 queer indie books, 1/3 politics.

Yeah, I got a lecture from my committee as a grad student about how I needed to socialize more... Academia both attracts and is horrible for autistic people.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

This is an entire thread full of trans authors - mostly independent - writing across all sorts of genres

It's difficult to get trans stories published these days; the huge media corps aren't even looking anyone but the big names right now. We put our stories out where we can

If I can also push my own work - I'm a trans author writing queer horror. I've started a modern day Gothic horror serial featuring a trans disaster lesbian and all manner of creepy, kookie characters. If you enjoy The Addams Family and Knives Out, come visit Ravenkirk!

I'm so tired, and tomorrow I'm covering someone else's teaching, so I have my own 8AM lecture (100% my fault) but then afternoon lab from 2-5 and an evening lab from 6-9PM. *cries in rich country problems*

Hi! Trans artist/writer/creator here. For those who want to see and or support my work, here: tormentedartifacts.com

Bigger thing is that I'm desperately trying to just fundraise enough to even cover my own rent at this point. Here's that link: bsky.app/profile/deet...

Ooof. I'm sorry it's not nothing, but I'm glad it's treatable.

I mean, I do too, but they're 40 years old and mislabeled and use the Dewey Decimal System.

I have no doubt that the intentions are very good but arriving at work to find a large sign declaring it to be 'Mental Health Prevention Week' gives one the tiniest pause

This is also why engaging with comments is pointless, as is pretending that "outrage" as measured in comments is a useful metric. Yet all of the algorithms are still designed to measure engagement this way, and using these signals to serve you (mis) information.

This is amazing.

When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.

That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.

ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aidsβ€”and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

β€œThink about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

If you think there's really blood in your urine, go. It's probably a kidney stone, but you don't want to ignore that shit regardless of what it is.

Listening to the anti-trans lobbies' OBSESSION with 'preserving' children's fertility and fuckability for the opposite sex is making me feel ill.

Is that all children are to you? Sperm banks and incubators? Fuck toys and wank material? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

Oh. Oh no. I regret to inform you that we cannot be friends. Not if you like cilantro :(.

Tormented Artifacts

Here's me, with multiple projects, art mediums, leatherwork, novels, and a few other bits. And I could REALLY use the sales right now, since I'm behind on rent.

So anyhow, do you want to do a little thing? I hardly know a trans woman that doesn't have some sort of project - stream, OF, writing, leatherwork, music, art, etc - going on you can get into a little. People ask "where's the trans art?" so why not repost this with a link to your project?

Yeah, hopefully the harnesses will work, then. I got a remote laser toy for mine, but they lose interest really quickly if *I'm* not on the other end of whatever toy it is. Gotta take Parent's time or it's not worth it, I guess.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

Jack of Thorns What do you do when a Celtic god rings your doorbell? Laurence Riley is a San Diego florist whose ex won't leave him alone. Quentin d'Arcy is a British earl on the run from his own family. Despi...

Hey there, are you struggling to find meaning in the vast capitalist hellscape we're trapped in? Then why not read some gay books, and hope that all the billionaires are dead when you emerge from your fictional wonderland?!

Two-panel comic with a fluffy black cat on a purple background. In the first panel the cat says that the β€œcat lady” stereotype is a cultural myth and that cat adoption is roughly 50-50 by gender. In the second panel the cat appears with huge eyes and says it supports any human willing to open cat food and wishes a happy Women’s Day while holding a small heart.
