I just put gravy on mine

Reading a Bruce Sterling novel and my daughter asks if he's related to Stephanie Sterling 😆

No man is an island, but I'm no man so...

I wrote about LOST HIGHWAY for my horror column. This one is different from his later films. We aren't meant to identify or empathize with anyone. We are meant to observe. It's closer to his work as a painter where rationalization is elusive & the world is cruel. www.patreon.com/posts/monste...

I remember when ‘directed by Peter Jackson’ was a herald of good to come not only an ill omen

Meanwhile at Cannes, the fantastic Guillermo del Toro:

chickens are more commonly known by their full name, charles dickens

this is correct: you can’t love cyberpunk if you hate trans people

"Machines of Consent" by @sophiajt.com is incredible. Spicy(😉), action-packed, lesbian, trans, very queer, and with cyberpunk thrown in for fun. Two trans lesbians who don't know each other all that well find themselves in the middle of big problems and they have to rely on each other to survive.

In good news, Embodied Exegesis continues to sell well! Word of mouth has really helped this anthology of weird transfem cyberpunk reach those who need it. Thank you so much to everyone who has read it, or shared it with others!!!

Here's a map showing which countries in Europe have no legal gender recognition. Starmer's Labour Party have made the UK worse on trans rights than *Belarus*. This isn't talked about enough in straight cis media. Source: ILGA Rainbow Map

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Let me tell you about TRANS PANIC It basically goes, "I didn't know she was trans and I panicked and assaulted her!" And the vast majority of our country has said yes, this is a valid legal defense in court. It's HORRID.

O HUMAN STAR is so great, y'all.

I'm going to update this - it clearly is deniable, as many people who seem completely in good faith are denying it. So, here's a more nuanced thread, from someone who runs moderation on a news site, about what I think happened with moderation and the trans community on Bluesky. 🧵

Happy birthday, Internet Archive. 💜 A site I spend a lot of time digging into and value greatly. And yeah, it is critically important that it is supported and preserved.

You have no idea how much it means. Seriously.

One of the most surprising things about researching cyberpunk is how often Elvis pops up

"The system is rigged to minimise the lives of Trans+ people, to deny credit for their contributions." @foxenlock.bsky.social 

The real appeal of living off-grid in the woods is not having to hear words like vibing and maxxing anymore

Art bundles begin being posted out this week!

Since Sex Scene Discourse™️ is making the rounds again, I’d like to note that I’ve never read a bad sex scene in an indie trans book. Some are better than others, but they always mean something. Usually a *lot*

mind boggling that my book containing sexual coercion, existential suffering, and an ending with the death of a major character gets referred to as cosy 🤷

Thiiiiiiiiiis

Let's make this clear for non-Black folks: YOUR PROXIMITY TO BLACKNESS DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO USE THE N-WORD. I don't give a shit if you married a Black person, if you have Black biracial children, or if your bestie is a Black person.

For Trans+ History week, @transgenderhistory.bsky.social looks at the histories of Trans+ romance. Or at least, those that survive https://www.wearequeeraf.com/to-burn-out-or-to-fade-away-trans-romance-throughout-history/

I wrote a cyberpunk trans lesbian retelling of Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye. It's got everything you could want in a cybernoir: morally grey butch detectives, gorgeous femme fatales and a nice helping of thinly veiled criticism of the US suburbs. trishusband.itch.io/keeping-the-...

"The system is rigged to minimise the lives of Trans+ people, to deny credit for their contributions." @foxenlock.bsky.social  Learn about the Trans+ composer scoring the sound of hope

Fuck him up Gandalf

Wild that Nueromancer was written closer to the end of WW2 than now

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten www.wearequeeraf.com/from-star-wa...

Did you know? The iconic sound behind films like Star Wars was orchestrated by a trans woman. @foxenlock.bsky.social tells the story of the trans pioneer who should be a household name. Read it tomorrow: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistoryweek/

I’ve been sitting on this news since the end of 2025. But delighted to finally reveal I’m one of the writers for this years Trans+ History Week. It’s been incredible discovering the life of this remarkable trans woman that by rights should be a household name.

As well as being a suffragette and a pioneer of women’s fiction in the US, this famous author may have been gender diverse 👀 For Trans+ History Week, Booker G.A. Feniks writes one of seven history articles released this week.

This is a guy whose entire career record got embargoed for 100 years, having only been outed after he died. The British Army was THAT level of flustered by having employed a trans person/‘woman’ and raised them to its second-highest medical rank as Inspector General of Hospitals.

The agony of feeling like a fantasy creature but needing to wear glasses. But I suppose elves have astigmatism too.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world Tarantino can write good dialogue

As part of our "Reflections" campaign we have an installation at Outernet London until May 10th. It's on rotation. You can catch it every 30 minutes in the 'Now Trending' space.

Launching today! In calm water and rough tides, we rise 🌊 Now until 10 May, "Reflections" spotlights the voice and power of Trans+ communities across the UK.

Sometimes knowing you've got the complete Xena: Warrior Princess boxset waiting for you at home is the only way you can get through the day

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Offsetting reading fifteen cyberpunk books back-to-back with a couple published in the fifties yearning for a bucolic pre-industrial Britain

This actually would piss me off enough to consider not watching any more Star Wars. Absolutely no Star Wars fan is clambering for more Cara fucking Dune. The ONLY (and I mean ONLY) reason to do this is to signal to culture war chuds that they won.

A guy sets a queer bar on fire and the pigs say not to speculate on motive 😡

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Gonna go visit a moated 15th century castle, listening to Nightwish all the way

‘Sockets were hot, sockets were it, sockets were the new sexual preference’ Yeah, Pat Cadigan gets it

One more reason to be grateful for the existence of @wearequeeraf.com When our government and health services won’t take responsibility, we show up for our own.
