Just came back from the doctor. It seems blue cross blue shield of Illinois isn’t covering hormone testing for trans folks anymore. If you get a test, you have to sign a form saying you’re willing to pay $250 out of pocket. Thanks Howard brown for not notifying us in advance.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

MASSIVE CHAOS THREAD (daily updates): THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF VALENZIAGA, Kickstarter tips, writing snippets, author advice, etc. I asked a multiple-choice question, and y’all just replied “yes”, so here we go, lol! I’ll start with a KS tips… (next post) www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

You say “Autistic Barbie” like I don’t already know several neurodivergent dolls

“Show me a comic you loved when you were 13, that’s all I need to know about you”. - Brad Meltzer

Taputapu is a lively and optimistic panda with a huge face, and he appears in picture books and anime.

“Gender studies is useless! Now, please subscribe to my podcast on the male loneliness epidemic and be sure to check out my substack about the birth rate crisis and whether we should repeal the 19th amendment”

I life it when my wife gets inspired. I can see the moments before the purchase or the project, the excitement when it arrives, and the confusion once it’s complete or acquired. This year, I want to share in the joy. With her new fursona, her purchase of daggerheart…I want to be part of it.

Every happy, successful trans person is a conservative policy failure. We must not just survive but also thrive despite all their attempts to stop it. Live your lives accordingly.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025 no matter how small. -learned how to take my estradiol properly. -wrote 2 chapters of a book -completed 2 4.0 semesters -went out to an extremely expensive restaurant with my wife and family as myself. Looked amazing.

This is like the second article about cis women going on T to get hornier for men from the paper that has been cited multiple times in anti-trans policymaking btw

Over 30 selfie thread… These -children-… 53.

Happy holidays to my trans homies

Thanks to @magicariot.com, I found out I was taking my estradiol wrong. Here are my post ‘full bloom’ numbers

This is the cover art I did for NOVA, a manga zine from the 1980's. I was a huge fan of Patalliro, and had the albums, laser disc film, and most of the manga. I don't keep up with it anymore, but I really loved the unique art style.

www.sevenstories.com/books/4753-f... my book is still very much on sale! My publisher’s IG gift guide recommends it for “your niece that you’re scared of”. I recommend it for: critical fans of Buffy, iwtv, and anyone who is/was a little too into biting the first person they kissed

Real joy: me, my wife, my sister, and my daughter at Nobu.

Hey everyone. I'm going to bump this up, so sorry if you're seeing it again! We had a good start, but Evan still needs some help, and nothing else seems to be coming. Even a little is appreciated, if you can afford it. #mutualaid #disabled #helpsky

rip gainax, you ended in a weird convoluted way that pissed a lot of people off

Moment of trans joy: my wife, me, and two of our best friends decked out to the nines, and going to a fancy ass Japanese fusion restaurant, and being treated like queens.

Nothing is better than having to cite @magicariot.com’s Maidensong Magica Series in a grad paper. I love library science.

Thank you @itsladarrion.bsky.social for Savon, D.Low, the house of Transcendence, and that speech. Ugly crying at 5am. #bonesatthecrossroads

remember, Salvation Army is a big NOPE use your extra $$$ for mutual aid groups

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

I know it's cliché to say this, but if you're thinking about transitioning, just fucking do it already. You can always stop if you don't like it, but if you wait years and years and then do it and realize it was the best decision you ever made, you'll bitterly regret not having done it sooner.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

When I was 5, they all called me a girl. Now I’m 41 and they all call me a man. 🙃

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

In retrospect, perhaps trusting all of the government's systems and data to Elon Musk and his band of 20-year-old cybercriminals was not the smartest move.

Straight title doesn’t indicate the wicked comedy in this piece (Stewart Lee among the righteous!) www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/o...

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!

If you see this, QRP a gif of your first ever anime. No GIF. One of my earliest memories: youtu.be/rsuQpm5f_54?...

Age yourself with a film you saw as a kid. Mom would dump us off to see this for most of the summer it was released.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.
