Halloween is "Queer Christmas" and I'm trying to figure out my costume. I'm open to suggestions. Keep in mind that I'm relatively dignified 73 years old and around 5 feet even. I've eliminated cheerleader, Sailor Moon and Velma. I was thinking WNBA player, but that's not likely. Suggest away.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Justice League of America #42 (February, 1966). As a kid, it thrilled me to see Metamorpho appearing here. But I was disappointed it’d be years before he made another appearance and that the intriguing Unimaginable never returned. 9-23-25.

Every damn day is a new attack on or a new threat to trans people like me. Your supporting these monsters is not an opinion. It's a revelation of your basic lack of humanity.

I don't expect to get my happy ending. Too many hearts and minds turned against my becoming my authentic self. But I will keep becoming, keep fighting, keep sharing, keep writing. And when they come for me, I'll sink my teeth into their necks and take as many of them with me as I can.

I want to assure y'all that I do not own a transgender gun or know where I could buy transgender ammo. If I did own a transgender gun, it wouldn't hurt anyone. It wold just make them trans. But that's just a fantasy. Smart people know it doesn't work that way.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then
@bsky.app
suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
