Okay, after way too long... it's up. If you want to contact me, read my work, hang out with me, or just be with me, please visit nofate.femfactory.tech, my new personal website! HUGE love and shoutouts to @leonasal.femfactory.tech for the domain and help. I will be basically inactive on Bsky now.

Disclosure: I've been much healthier since I stopped using this site, and all social media, and reading news. I have started physically transitioning, after recovering from a total mental breakdown on the streets of Spain while homeless. I don't talk to those I haven't met irl. Please do the same.

i fell for a housing scam and moved across the country for it. i’m homeless.

The problem is that when you are no longer seeking anyone's validation, coming up with alternative reasons for giving a fuck to motivate yourself takes so much more WORK.

Yeah I actually can’t even report porn bots now BlueSky appears to have manually disabled my transfemme, Jew, invited ass from reporting slur users and porn bots for the crimes of thinking Palestinians do not deserve to die and pointing out publicly that Jesse Singal was a threat that hurt people

That's the point. When you can't trust each other you can't organize together

Also… bring your boyfriends! A lot of then might not have realized a lot of shit about themselves, and might be bi themselves, or not even “boy”friends at all!!!

If you think about it this is MOASS for BlueSky transfemme shitposters

It’s even E.B. skfjndbeuusj

So honoured to have this piece in the world, and part of such a meaningful collection.

The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I say this a lot but we are all so lucky this generation of fascists came of age on message boards and not stabbing people to death at close range in a trench while the world detonates endlessly around them

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Its like Drake and Kendrick but they're both Kanye.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

These LGBTQ+ lit mags are changing the game. We asked the editors to describe their vibe in 3 words and the vibes are good, real good. Shoutout to @vellichorliterary.bsky.social for teaming up with us on this! Submission details & website links: www.chillsubs.com/lists/LGBTQ_...

second most self defeating is anti-DRM ebooks. i probably just won't buy a book if i can't easily read it in the app of my choice and it's easier to pirate an epub than it is to remove its adobe DRM garbage

Here's a bundle by a bunch of cool queer comrades, including me. You should buy it!! itch.io/b/3065/queer...

{mitch hedberg voice} I'm an ally. I'm also a trans lesbian, but I remain an ally, as well

I’m supremely honored to be featured alongside the incredible writers in @en-gendered.bsky.social’s Summer 2025 issue, and I hope you all find my essay, “Simulacring Myself,” to be as cathartic to read as it was for me to write. It is the last work in the issue, and I feel it is in its right place.

'gender ideology is not ruining poetry' by Siobhan Dunlop (@fiendfull.bsky.social) was the perfect poem to open this issue. come read the rest engenderedlitmag.com/summer2025

Tapping the sign

genuinely shocking the number of ppl cheering this on and has given me cause to look at a bunch of ppl whose judgement I respected a bit differently, how can you possibly endorse getting a tattoo instead of taking a shower and covering your tracks?

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

earnest joy and appreciation of good things may not be concomitant with being an internet cool kid, but: kill the part of you that cringes. tell creators what their work means to you, and tell your friends and followers what that work means to you as well!

This beautiful collection of work is out in the world TODAY!

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

Optimism

There's a marauding gang of masked men terrorizing our neighbors and they're threatening to jail the parents of trans kids. The fight back against it is comically flaccid and useless. It's not brand building, it's what I actually believe. I'm allowed to believe better things are possible.

This is the worst blurb I’ve ever seen on a book

A few poems from me in here, about gender and IKEA

If white people across the country started singing “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” when a little drunk this summer at their white people bars in their little polos and $70 flip flops I think the worst “journalists” in the world would actually implode

It’s so weird. I really think it’s an issue with adults completely misunderstanding childhood & thinking it’s simplistic, ergo anything made for children is cute, so lacks richness & depth. Obviously Ghibli is more than Miyazaki, but because his work often focuses on childhood, it’s misunderstood.

When you investigate **any** of the links or evidence put forward by permitting-bros and abundance-bros trying to claim the environmental movement is single worst opponent to clean energy on the planet, you very unsurprisingly end up reading stuff that just doesn't support their claims.

Late night hot take: There should be gibbons in the Planet of the Apes movies. They could be neat little guys. I know, they're not great apes, but maybe they just haven't been given an opportunity for greatness. I bet that virus would affect them too. It's worth a try! Gibbons. Gibb 'em a chance.
