Oh Seattle. Keep going as you do.

Call for trans zine recommendations: my Trans Studies students are going to be doing a unit on zines next month, and one activity we're doing is looking at as many physical zines as I can get my hands on. If you know of cool trans zines that ARE PURCHASABLE ON PAPER, please let me know!!!

I bought a $40 android mp3 player and turned it into a mini music server for my wifi speakers and I have to say I'm feeling very pleased with myself.

Be sure to check your kid's Halloween candy. I just found a derelict vessel damaging the Puget Sound ecosystem inside of mine.

Nothing warms my heart as much as seeing someone doing this. The world is *full* of people doubling down on shit they don’t even believe out of a sense of pride, and seeing someone graciously acknowledge being wrong, in full public view, is quite inspiring.

Okay, whatever Vancouver.

lover's spar at the devil bridge🥀

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is still on sale for 1.99 across most platforms! Which means…

I have stolen the jewels that were in the louvre and which they were probably saving for display Forgive me they were sparkling so shiny and so cold

We've finally had some rain in Seattle and now things are looking alive again.

Mondays are hard...so here is the forming of an adorable friendship at McLane Creek Nature Trail. You're welcome

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Windows 10 end of life is today, and a lot of people don't want to switch to 11 because they fucking hate it but didn't know what they could do to get the Extended Security Updates; well it seems like this might be something:

I wrote a trilogy of novels published by HarperCollins about a brother and sister caught on opposite sides of the war to unite Viking Age Norway. Today is my birthday and if you are inclined to share this, it would be a lovely present! The first: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-half-d...

The opening chapter of Three Men in a Boat is one of the best pieces of comedy writing in all of western lit and should be taught at the high school level.

I have been thinking about this for a full day.

Another short from the Imaginize Podcast, about misconceptions of the world, which I hope you'll find fun, but also take away the important message! #society #future youtube.com/shorts/a4jMA...

The documentary I made with Miss Major 10 years ago is on Vimeo on Demand. If you want to spend some time with her on screen tonight and learn some abolitionist trans history while you're at it, it's free to rent with the code "shinebright" vimeo.com/ondemand/major

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

Hello, I'm about to go on parental leave. Please enjoy this reissued print, now in A3 size, edition of 50. www.sonnyross.com/shop/shutupa3 #illustration #medieval

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

This is it, the most unhinged literary opinion. I will be adopting it as fact immediately.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

When I was your age, searching for a phrase in quotes returned results for that exact phrase

Based on the sudden rush of car horns and joyful yells outside I'm gonna guess the Mariners won. Man we really need to get those Etsy witches on some of the real world horrors.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

I love Capitol Hill.

Does anyone have/know someone with a copy of the Black Library novel The Rose at War by Danie Ware they'd be willing to sell at a reasonable price? Trying to complete my collection of Adepta Sororitas novels and I'm missing this one.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Here I am, talking about how the second wave became TERFy, why it didn't need to, and how feminism can be better for everybody.
