Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

“None is more innocent than a child, their death the most unassailable proof of the injustice of this war; how it was conducted, accepted and supported.” Devastating and vital by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social on the lost children of Gaza. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Romance books can be "literary" af. They can be beautifully written. They can be insightful & explore complex issues. They can make important observations. They can change minds. They can save lives. If you only see them as smut, you've never read one. Either that or your misogyny is hanging out.

We're making all your websites shitty and evil. What are you gonna do, log off and spend time with your family

Neil Gaiman shouldn’t be treated like an extreme outlier. It’s not fame or following that enables men like Gaiman to act the way they do. It’s power. And power can be A-list celebrity status or it can be the head of any ordinary household or a leader in any local community.

little do they know for the entirety of December my ig reels feed has been a chinese gay guy talking about “last christmas I bottomed for you”

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

When you try to take away a monster's talent after finding out he's a monster, you are tacitly making a claim that enough talent can excuse monstrous behavior.

I remember in 2005 when Jude Law cheated on Sienna Miller with their nanny and I was like “what’s WRONG with him, Sienna is a CATCH” and my mom was like “it has actually nothing to do with her. there is just a certain type of man for whom nothing is ever enough” I think about that like every day

No actually we *should* keep getting our hopes up about people. It’s okay to be shocked and saddened when someone you admire disappoints you. We’ll be sad and hurt and then go on without becoming hard-hearted cynics who refuse to let anyone enjoy things.

you lot are missing out on such a fun and functional website over on twitter btw

Having robot thoughts last night.

so I tried that “just don’t sleep” method for making my 6 am flight and folks you’re not going to believe this but I’m physically seeing the horse that’s destined to kill me in 14 years

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

Tapping the sign again

less “i’m an adult, i shouldn’t be into this stuff anymore” and more “i’m an adult! i can be into whatever without caving into the judgement of others bcuz i’m no longer a teen being ridiculed by parents and peers! i’m literally an adult with free will!”

Writing is thinking. It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
