At Tolkien conferences, over-speakers should be told "good morning".

Literally reading a transphobic book so you don't have to

We went to a coffee shop that closed at 11:00, then sat in a park and talked till 04:00 am

A few seconds, usually.

Dreamed I was in a polycule with Illyana, Kate, and two queer friends. We saved the world and cuddled and there was cake.

Okay, I am checking something partly for fun but also for seriousnessitude. IF you have been reading our Uncanny X-Men, do you have a favorite moment, or issue, or story? It doesn't have to be a big thing or a perfect thing, just something that struck you just right? Thank you for the help!

I am doing Femslash February Podfic Edition, so get ready for some ✨Femslash Podfics✨ in a thread

Trans dog girls and cat girls are so cute 💜

Make one? After years of reading and learning about them I still don't feel ready to write about them.

I’ve decided to treat Bluesky like it’s Tumblr

I finished the huge, monsterous, horrible revision! YAY!

I do not want to “thrive in a fast-paced environment.” I want to thrive in a slow, chill environment. An environment with a pillow fort and tea and cookies and boobs and some nice music.

a thread of grounding techniques for anyone finding it A Bit Much right now. most are a little unconventional; all are things i've found effective. if you feel like you need to soldier on and be fine, no you don't; if you feel like your struggles don't merit using this kind of approach, yes they do.

It's so cute, too

When I need to go get checked up, I tend to feel like I've done something bad and I'm in trouble. I think it says something about the medical system.

No, person who wrote this paper, nonbinary people aren't "trans lite" and aren't "cisgender really".

I'm enjoying this season of Bridgerton more than I expected

The Holocaust and pogroms. They were refugees in Cyprous, and ended up in the US.

Aww, this podcast taught me a lot and I am sad to see it go!

Eeeeeeeeeee, I went over two of the nine, and added them to my file! I have two less to worry about now! :D

I have a backlog of 9 sources I have to read, that I haven't been getting to, and has been weighing on me for ages. I am reading one of them now! Weeeee!

Every time Maya has a cold she doesn't hug me, to keep from giving me the cold. My depression always gets worse. I just got the first post-cold hug :)

Mushroom soup with lots of caramelized onion, some white wine, black garlic and chopped onions.

Dreamed there was a fan fiction story about a glam rocker coming out as a man, named "I'm a dude, dad"

I had forgotten I wrote this one. Thank you for bringing it up. (For best results, read it while making a frittata, so you can hear the sound of a cracking egg.)

3 types of bean, a little wine and a ton of caramelized onion, baked for an hour

Is anyone interesting in some writing sprints in the next hour or so? #Writing #WritingSprint

Last year, I met a new friend and we became close really meaningfully. But we wanted different things from this friendship, so we broke up. Met them yesterday at a conference, and it's bittersweet, because I genuinely love them.

The fact that Cory Doctorow wasn't canceled for fatphobia tells you where people's values are.
