For Bi Visibility Day I wore something vaguely femme and felt far too perceived by a child in a store who kept following me, circling me, moving into my field of vision to make aggressive eye contact, leave to say something to his mom in another language (and get scolded by her), and repeat.

Can the congress republicans get raptured before they finalize my losing more rights and civil liberties and healthcare as a trans person with ridiculous and cowardly bill riders?

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I think I need to take some Tylenol tonight so I can become even more autistic

I saw Hozier on Friday and it was an incredibly good experience and I cried a lot. He’s charmingly awkward, but had an impassioned political message before Nina about the Civil Rights movement, shouted out trans rights, hung a progress pride flag on his mic stand after Take Me To Church. /1

I had a dream last night with @deaconblues1979.bsky.social in it and we talked about music and workers rights and labor unions and I got to hug all his kids

God I already fucking love Sabrina Carpenter and now she’s just going to be the greatest forever

It’s less humid: Amazing! I’m alive again! It’s less humid: My amazing summer curls are dead.

News happens so frequently that I can’t do anything about except make art about the feelings. How do we keep going through this? How do we keep going on through this?

I’m so insanely hype for this. I dislike racing games as a rule, but this is my one exception because they also had a timed open-world death match that you build your cool vehicle and then compete them and an untimed version of the same that you could just hang out and try all the vehicles.

Just dumping some of the pieces I’ve been making in the past week—being a working artist is amazing 🩵

Probably my most cursed idea of the day is writing a magic system for a book that had unintentionally devolved into wizards dueling like your average game of MtG with blue players. No showy spells—only counterspells for counterspells.

I told my friend that Ozzy passed away. Him: WHAT?? Oh my god that’s crazy. Me: He was pretty old and had a cool life. Him: …I just realized that I was thinking of Weird Al. I thought Weird Al and Ozzy Osbourne were the same person. Me: Me: They are not

So apparently the theme for Target’s pride collection this year is “closeted” because uh… I’m not sure they recognize the history of being “low-key,” either, especially for Black gay people. I get that it can be a trend, but all this is screaming HEY YOU DON’T WANNA BE SEEN AS *THAT* GAY, RIGHT?

"what's your creative process like?" bold of you to assume I have a process instead of the sudden obsessions that come to me in the form of a hazy delusion that I have little control over

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Watching mason bees gather their mud. #nativebees #bees #gardening

It’s Easter and my eldest asked to watch Newsies and it’s got me 🥺🥹😭

My autistic kids are both playing baseball and softball for the first time this spring. They also have written poems, and also—fuck RFK Jr. My husband and I are autistic people raising autistic kids to thrive. My youngest went into Pre-K barely talking and I’m gonna be cringe and brag about him:

I’ve been trying to stop reskeeting politics for a hot minute, but this ad is… another layer of brilliant imo.

Working on a big block of cheese #pottery #ceramics

A friend of mine makes really cool art and you should commission her!

I will never again indulge my imposter syndrome. If the inept morons running our government can be in their positions, then I will never again doubt that I should have the job I have.

Me rn

Oh my fucking god. A preteen/young teen came up to me at the park and asked me genuinely if I was Jacksepticeye because I look like him. I replied no, I’m not, but thank you?

Today, the President of the United States pointed his finger at Baltimore City public school students and leered at their test scores as he dismantled the Department of Education. I’m a museum educator in Baltimore City and I have something to say about it.

a court has officially ruled that transgender people can have warrior ethos

Some of you need this big brass cover of Killing in the Name Of. It feels very This Season.

What the actual fuck

After relentless attacks from the Trump administration on the transgender community, trans Americans and allies from across the country will convene in Washington DC to show we’re not going anywhere. Join us at transdayofvisibility.com.

There is no heart in Texas.

I credit books with changing me from the ultra-religious, homophobic, conservative Texan I grew up as to who I am now, which is none of those things. Where did this happen? BYU. Not a liberal arts or state college—a private Mormon university. I went from Romney to Bernie in four years.

Unfortunately, the playbook for all anti trans legislation is horrificly predictable: The worst states submit batshit legislation that doesn’t pass, kicking the hornets nest. Less-shitty anti trans laws pass that year, but in the next cycle, the batshit laws are the new less-shitty laws. 🙃

Mason, how are you spending your first day off after a grueling physically demanding week of woodfire and market prep? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK—I’M WAGING AN UNHINGED COLD WAR AGAINST MY SIX YEAR OLD AND THE BATTLEFIELD IS THE TELEVISION AND I MAY BE CLOSE TO FINALLY DESTROYING HIM a thread:

radical acceptance gets a bad wrap for being woo-woo but it's literally the most crucial skill for distress tolerance. it's fundamentally true that you do not have control over everything in life, and learning to accept reality as it is is the first step to making peace with that and moving forward.

Mice are transgender icons now

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

I’ve known all the words to “Do You Hear the People Sing?” for what feels like my whole life. I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve watched/listened to Les Mis since I was a kid. Whether or not this song was meant in subtle protest, *I* appreciate that it happened because it speaks to *me*.

This porcelain pot flew off the wheel during trimming and when that happens, my art soul goes full feral vulture and says “WELL NOW WE CAN DO ANYTHING WE WANT” So now there’s a bug on it where there used to be damage #stagbeetle #pottery #wabisabi

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

My kids are doing a virtual learning snow day today and I just overheard my 6yo say “skibidi toilet” to his class. Reader, he has no idea what this is from. I have no idea where he picked it up. 💀 This is worse than when I go bro’d by him.

TURN HIS TV OFF

Two genders, both alike in glazing

perpetually disappointed in writers for not preparing me for JUST HOW banal and absurd evil is

Finding out that listening to a Kendrick Lamar album is like reading an audiobook with music—best of both worlds ✨
