unsurprisingly at one point during The Trans Event tonight we were listening to jeff rosenstock on the indoor speakers and when i walked outside everyone was listening to bomb the music industry! on the outdoor speakers

this is so fun and everyone is so cute, come through!!

It’s trans day of visibility, which I think means by law you have to preorder my book from @astoriabookshop.bsky.social???

trans day of “dear lord my gender is the least interesting thing about me and also about you please for the love of god can we be normal about trans people because not only is this all very violent it is still really boring to so many of us please we need a better world this is unbearably bori—

Astoria Trans Collective will be in the space tonight 5-9pm with a raffle/bake sale fundraiser, nail polish meet cute, clothing swap, poetry, binding demo, and more! www.instagram.com/p/DWSnLjFDdjM/ come hang out, say hi, ask yr local trans bookseller for book recommendations (i have so many!)

a silly thing i've learned in the last 1.5 yrs of not getting a haircut is how many people reverted back to she/her instead of they/he for me just bc i don't have a buzzcut?! not even just strangers but acquaintances!! is gender stored in the hair? i cut off my tits for this???

trans day of money, job security, health insurance

rewatching nurse jackie and man i love merritt wever

sure "good headline" or whatever but it still sucks that Variety has posted 10 articles about this show within the last six days including a trailer and first look photos, and they will surely continue to cover every aspect of it for the duration of its run

How thoughtful of the IOC, though, to give @michaelwaters.bsky.social and me something new to talk about at our @nobordersbooks.bsky.social event on gender panic and health in athletes! More details here:

obviously we set up a record player in the bookstore @oceanator.bsky.social

my dog's name is really apt for the veterinarian's march madness promotional emails (???)

tis the season (men walking around in Mets jerseys at 9AM with a celsius in one back pocket and a pint of beer in the other)

Seven-word death punch

everything about jk rowling and harry potter sucks but especially the fact that i have to see adults debate about harry potter all fuckin day

kinda feel like there are more important things to spend money on right now?? (plus i just know most of these attendees have cardboard boxes from amazon they can sharpie "no kings yaaas queen" on)

got 40 minutes into The Slaughter Rule before i realized i was absolutely confusing it with Remember The Titans

really regressing back to junior high (stayed up late rereading the outsiders)

what “renaissance” means here is it is now YOUR job to start a publication. i don’t make the rules electricliterature.com/the-renaissa...

idk why i thought searching the name of a movie would bring up dvd purchasing options. silly assumption on my part

need to go back in time a few years to write a television adaptation of The Outsiders and cast Austin Butler as literally any of the greasers

btw it's also charlie's gotcha day. five years of this perfect dog refusing to let me leave the couch!! i love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USA Today is hiring a WNBA senior reporter jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gannet...

everyone's always like "it's so cute when pets are on zoom!" but we're doing interviews for a role at my job and charlie just puked up half a bully stick in the background ajilgkf

A few new-to-you titles in stock this week! All $12 and under! We're open 3pm to 9pm today, come through 💕 (and DM if you have books to donate!)

new gladie record is out today, obvs i think it's great + i've been obsessed with but it also does what all my favorite art does: made me text a bunch of friends things like "i miss you! can we hang out?" & "heard a song that made me think of you! how are you??" gladie.bandcamp.com/album/no-nee...

this week i've watched all of Vladimir and The Chair, and the available episodes of Rooster. on the one hand, academia is terrible but on the other hand should i become a literature professor

🚨Dozens of books have been added to our partner, Open Books’ bookshop. Browse the collection, buy a book (all proceeds to Sameer Project) and write a review of any length that we’ll publish to our substack. The famine in Gaza is intensifying and we need your help generating funds for Palestinians!

GOOD MORNING to gladie

you can DM me if you have books to donate!

i know the industry is real into gay hockey books rn but i feel like it's really sleeping on how romantic AEW wrestling matches are

charlie suddenly decided she hated her bed i guess

once again my partner has called my bluff and now we are starting the very very long AEW PPV *after* watching all of the oscars

just thinking about boogie nights

oscars fever

Our grand opening yesterday was SO cute and fun and PACKED!! Thanks for coming out! We're also open today 10-7pm if you'd like some more lowkey vibes (and we have one copy of Vineland left, if you're in an Oscars mood). OR you can also enter our raffle from home: givebutter.com/no-borders-r...

Hey everybody! I’m looking for contract writing and producing work! I’ve written on shows like Rick and Morty and Inside Job and written and produced content for ClickHole, The Onion, Funny or Die and various non profits and companies! I could use some gigs soon, hit me up, thank you!!

good charlotte's "hold on" came on and i remembered when i wrote a high school sociology paper about pop-punk songs + suicide and was somehow surprised when my teacher asked me to talk to a guidance counselor

once in a while someone will excitedly tell me they found a video game that i might actually love and it's always something very boring like "run this restaurant and balance the books!" or "manage a baseball team (but don't actually play any baseball)!" and they are always, unfortunately, correct

put on Heat for my dog to watch while i went out but i just checked the doggy cam and that bitch is asleep????

GRAND OPENING THIS WEEKEND!!! Saturday, March 14th! Free cookies and patches until we run out! Storytime for kids, button-making, tarot readings, a teach-in! Many other things! We can't wait to see you! We forgot to post this earlier!
