The way I want to write an inter dimensional diner romance (as a born and bred New Jerseyan) now…I have the perfect shelved WIP for it…if I wasn’t working on 3 other projects I’d write it right now

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

very excited for this to be out in the world: i wrote about repressed queerness in Elio, child surveillance in Inside Out 2, the post-Lasseter crisis, and the figure of the child in Pixar for The Baffler thebaffler.com/latest/probl...

This is such a great piece and brought me back to being a queer tween in the late-aughts when Green Day was my one little piece of rep that made me feel not so alone in a very red part of suburban NJ. I’m so glad to have more out & celebratory queer music now but “coming clean” still slaps.

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps. Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

My public position continues to be don’t kill kids. It’s never okay.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE. Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Taking a bit of a social media cleanse and break to focus on some projects and key into real life/community. You can still keep up with me by subscribing to my newsletter: tayberryjelly.substack.com

I know you’re tired But please keep making queer art if you can.

Norway and Denmark are different countries.

Finding and sharing joy is the single most important thing you can do right now. You can’t fight with an empty heart.

Did this 1000-piece small world puzzle by myself in about ~6 hours over two days because once I start a puzzle I start to obsess over it. Might glue and frame it because it’s so cute. 🥹

Due to my recent eye emergency, I could use a few sales here. If anyone can afford games about spaceships. About $300 in sales will cover my routine bills for the rest of the month.

I honestly thought this was going to be a Berkley book but am equally disappointed but not surprised to see it’s Harper.

Okay, friends. If we can get the #BookstoreRomanceDay GoFundMe to $1500 by end of month, I will read this & live-post my real-time reactions as soon as it's available for review. If a digital review copy doesn't become available, I swear to get it from the library & read/review. gofund.me/d86e5c8b9

Blanket bans on trans youth in sports have never been about fairness or science or protecting girls' sports. They are entirely about alleviating the discomfort of bigots who don't want trans youth on sports teams or anywhere else in the public square. That's all they are.

Thinking about that article about how publishers are pulling away from queer kidlit. Maybe queer kidlit could be more successful if publishers had any initiative to actually market and place those books within the communities that want them but capitalism am I right.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

Every time things feel impossible, I remind myself that I’m seeing The Last Dinner Party and the Savannah Bananas on the same weekend in April. Good art and entertainment is the best carrot on a stick.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Everyone’s wishes are their prerogative, but I just fundamentally do not understand the attitude of the “kid free wedding” peeps. I personally cannot wait to have my good friend’s under 2 son at our wedding, but then again I’m literally making him a bag of Duplo and activities so he ISN’T bored lol

Send Jimmy Ma to the Olympics, the math argument against this does not interest me

I don’t give a fuck about technique, Jimmy Ma is the gold medalist of my heart (Watching the broadcast I recorded because I was at a David Bowie tribute concert last night lol)

My kingdom to replace Johnny Weir with Adam Rippon for NBC’s ice skating commentary

Close enough, welcome back boygenius

With the caveats that I understand how Renee Good’s death is tied to larger discourse about the experience of Black people and the way ICE treats immigrants in this country, I feel so hollow and defeated that her life as a queer person with a queer family has largely been erased and overlooked.

Every woman has heard it. Your daughter, your sister, your mother, your wife. We have ALL heard it.

Becca Good, the wife of Renee Good, has released her first public statement since the shooting “We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day.”

we all know what we saw.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Protest sign on Route 4 in Paramus, New Jersey reads “ICE murders woman in MN”

She had stuffed animals in her glove box.
