Trans and queer writers review thirteen essential queer books (that weren’t covered by the New York Times Book Review during Pamela Paul’s reign).
Too often I think we view misogyny through the lens of women’s responsibility—do women cause misogyny, how can women avoid misogyny, how can we blame women, always—instead of recognizing that there is literally no way to opt out of or avoid misogyny entirely, because our whole society is built on it
Can I ask you a favor? If you plan to buy this book eventually at some future date, can you try to grab it before the end of the month?
It helps a lot because of Publishing Math
So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.

Seeing Trump's pardon as an endorsement of their violent tactics, anti-abortion activists are actively planning and recruiting people willing to be arrested in nationwide demonstrations. Brittany Fonteno, President and CEO of @natabortionfed.bsky.social, joins me to discuss this threat.
I don’t want 99% of the “advancements” being forced on and/or sold to me.
I want clean air, clean water, and a stable ecosystem and planet. I want free healthcare and education. I want justice and collective liberation.
Two lambs head to head in a sunlit field. Two adult sheep can be seen behind
Two baby goats nestled together in the straw. They are white and brown.
Cygnets in the grass. There are at least four. One stands up stretching its neck and tiny wings
Two fallow deer by a tree. They are turned facing the camera.
Would seeing some cute animals brighten your day?
If the answer is 'yes', we can help.
If you have a few bucks to spare to send my way as I prepare for foot surgery in March and a 3 months of disability leave for recovery, I'd greatly appreciate it. My income is about to take a hit. Anything helps.

my biggest issue is governments will view assisted dying as a more convenient & cost effective solution than say expanding public healthcare, housing and welfare. so much needless suffering could be avoided if we made a choice to invest in these basic needs.

"So, I’m asking you, as someone who loves you—stop it. Stop the screaming. Be proactive about your life. Go do something about it."
I just saw someone say the internet ruined their brain for reading and I just want to say that barring any significant medical conditions, that “ruin” is likely reversible.
Reading is a skill. You can cultivate it through practice. It does mean you may have to log off for a bit though.

An intricately lined digital artwork of a thin pale masculine person facing backwards with his arms reaching back over his head, as a rose bush blooms from his spine and fills the bottom of the illustration. The lines are a rich deep blue, with flat colors of light pink, medium pink, and soft blues.
To all trans people (especially in the US/UK):
Remember that we'll always bloom again. Our community has been through loss and oppression and repression time and time again. But, like a field of roses, we can never be totally destroyed.
Also, I think its time to use our thorns ngl 🌹
