"Everybody's got some sort of freaky bizarre thrill" is WILD

Holy fucking shit I've made it in life 😭

@taliabhatt.itch.io every day I grow increasingly convinced that RCBG is nonfiction.

After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live! No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

One of the things I've absolutely loved about getting to write RCBG is portraying trans lesbian life as rich and multifaceted---not always shiny, happy, and full of joy, nor a relentless slog of misery and bravery and inspiration porn, but messy and human and authentic, you know?

I recommend reading through this and putting some of these on your TBR! I snagged a few (some of these books I've already read, but it's cool to see other people's pov on them!)

This is actually kinda cool, because I’m, apparently, well on my way through this list before even reading it and now I have a good resource for going further on not-narrow course …

Okay time to eat noodle

Everything you have ever needed in one place - it truly exists

Hey it's my birthday month - do you wanna do a little something that'll make all of us feel a lot better? If you click through, you can see how to tip Juno for her work (which is exceptional) and help a struggling trans journalist. ALSO please read her work, it's insightful and moving stuff.

I’ve only read a handful of the books on this list and they’re all amazing

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

looking forward to reading this! I’m still enjoying the generic-fake-dating-nonsense-but-make-it-T4T romance novel but I need something a *little* less sugary for my next read. Like, let’s try an un-frosted pop-tart next.

This is a precious record and a masterpiece. Everything I’ve read of these has been brilliant.

I did it :3 Finishing this article only took me, uh, two and a half months longer than I expected! So basically right on time. And now we rest.

Lmao the finished Start Here page is so long that it's making the WordPress editor lag 😅

Happy to announce I'll be teaming up with lauded Youtube essayist @jessiegender.bsky.social to produce a story for the new @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social anthology, Lie Machine! ICC is opening submissions for this one on December 1, join us if u really fuckin hate nazis ironcircus.com/lie-machine/

👀👀👀

One of my favorite reactions to my reviews is when I rate a book 4/10 or something and someone else is like "hell yeah I NEED to read this" I love how two people can have completely different experiences with the same text 🩷 There's no "correct" reading or interpretation of a novel.

A book after my own heart.

I need to remember to pick up this book for my sister

It’s been a hard few months and it’s felt like I haven’t had the energy to celebrate the book properly, but a reading like this makes me really fucking proud of what @submorstua.bsky.social and I made 🖤 lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

Extremely kind thread by @thetransfemininereview.com on TABOO. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Consider buying a copy so we can keep making freaky trans books: lilacperil.bigcartel.com/product/issu...

I've read so many good books this year, truly living the elementary school dream 🥰

Happy pub day to my beautiful daughter!!!!!! she is so smart and funny and weird and thoughtful and I am so excited for you to meet her!!!!

Can you believe this was @saoirsecl.bsky.social first publication?? We couldn’t!

@anemonebythesea.bsky.social wrote a total knock out 💥💥💥

AHHAHAHA

Hehehe

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

very curious to check this out, love this continuance of the visual language of "between revolutions" so much, i love that folks are so often in conversation with it 💘

o hey im in this ⬇️

Victoria Scott is amazing and so knowledgeable

After three straight months of research and reading, I have FINALLY reached the last book for the 2025 Start Here page 😭🙏 It's @lilacperil.bsky.social's second short story collection, let's bring this thing home!!

Just discovered this wonderful channel that shares trans history throughout the ages and its really really wonderful, you should check her out! www.youtube.com/@Transgender...

Book time with @victoriascott.bsky.social :3 I do not have a driver's license, so I'm mostly just here for the photography lol.

A series of interesting ideas with classic cosmic horror play The King in Yellow are completely waylaid by one of the most unlikeable main character dynamics I've read in fiction this year. I loathed the ending of this book too. Major suicide TW to any prospective readers.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania. The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown. 🔴 Live election updates: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...

This article is fantastic, highly recommend giving it a read 🩷

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

Tonight Pennsylvania voters stood up for our freedoms and protected our independent courts. Congratulations to Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht on their wins tonight! 👏

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

What we know so far, 8:30pm —Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —Also means Dems take VA trifecta. —Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov. —Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia. —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati. —Last GOPer in Orlando council gone. —PA: Dem justices up big so far.
