At least yesterday for Trans Day of Visibility I had a gorgeous, relaxing view of the clouds rolling over Chicago Feels like this derailment was meant to be 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🌥️ And before any UFO hunters see this... That little stairway to heaven in the second photo is a reflection of my friend's fairy lights 😂

Wanted to say I'm totally physically fine. Thankfully a friend let me stay at their place yesterday to get out of the house and cooked me a nice comfort meal Today's the anniversary of my mom's death, so I'm still going to stay logged off. Trans activism will still be needed tomorrow and can wait 🙃

On Trans Day of Visibility, no less I hope all these transphobic monsters get struck by lightning some day

Welp I had been hyping and promising a big announcement today, but started my day with a medical emergency so... It can wait. I'm going to rest. Happy fucking TDOV, I guess. Fitting. FML

I found my mom's gold mirror that I thought was lost when my dad moved out of my childhood home 🥲🥹

Great 🧵 summarizing the complexity of genetic sex "Gender critical" transphobia is fundamentally fascist, religious idealogy Not biological reality

Do I write "ReContact" before or after "Herman Granger and the Curse of Competency?" ...I have too many side ideas, that I'm never going to get my main goals done 😅 Story of my life

Want some warm fuzzy trans news? Read the feelgood story of how I spent 2025 unexpectedly adopting a trans son and ended up accidentally founding a transmasc social club together 🏳️‍⚧️🥹 So proud of Troy for taking the initiative to grow this into something massively important for our local community

I'm gonna be honest this is really fucking with my head! Like... What even is journalism? Who am? What are we doing here?

Was so fun chatting with Jay & Miles about the genetics of X-Men! Give it a listen 🧬

A lot of this conversation focusses on binary trans ppl, but let's not forget NB folks who are perhaps screwed **even harder**. This shit is dangerous. it's dangerous to binary trans folks. It's dangerous to NB folks. It's dangerous to anyone who breaks stereotypes (often but not always queers).

There are few issues more near and dear to my heart than trans athletes. I kind of built my career writing about trans athletes. For my newsletter, I have written my most painful newsletter ever and it's about yesterday's IOC ban on trans and intersex athletes: www.burnsnotice.com/we-lost-the-...

These are not the actions of a "neutral" institution which is not fully supportive of efforts to kill trans people. The NYT is actively ignoring correction requests and continuing to report blatant fiction as the truth because it supports their cause of trans extermination.

Happy polio vaccine announcement anniversary. "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" remains one of the hardest remarks of all time. Kind of quote every child should be taught

a funny thing about being a life long anti-authoritarian is that whenever i post about shitty stuff Trump is doing ppl are like "I BET YOU HAD NO PROBLEM WHEN OBAMA WAS DOING THE SAME THING" and I literally always have the receipts that i did, in fact, have a problem with it

The Jetsons lied to us

Fuck yeah!

Despite telling my network for months that I quit my job to advocate for trans rights full time, this is the first year I've gotten 0 speaking requests for Trans Day of Visibility Feeling pretty exhausted and invisible right now 🫠

Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans Excellent reporting 🧬🏳️‍⚧️ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Doing this is a specific choice that appears to be calculated to garner favor with anti-vaxxers, including those in power. If you care about accuracy, don't quote misinformers. It's actually pretty easy!

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

Ozymandis, anyone?

Do I write "ReContact" before or after "Herman Granger and the Curse of Competency?" ...I have too many side ideas, that I'm never going to get my main goals done 😅 Story of my life

And then of course we get the news that season 2 will be the last 😭 ST:A encapsulated the values of Trek: Power through love, diversity, and curiosity about the universe Just another sign that Paramount/CBS/mainstream media has been taken over by soulless capitalists who don't appreciate art 🤬

Will the ghost of Carl Sagan give me permission to write this script/book, because I will 🥹✨🌟

It almost feels blasphemous asking for this, but... Contact sequel with older Jodie Foster back, now the head of NASA/SETI Openly lesbian relationship btw Mentoring some younger queer POC astronomer and encouraging them to not give up their dreams even when science funding is under attack

The universe is a glorious, stunningly beautiful place, and it’s offensive & gross when people produce or share fake space imagery. There’s a video floating around on here pretending to be the night sky viewed from Mars. It’s extremely fake, has been polluting the internet for years. Don’t share it

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

THREAD: A major court decision just found Meta & Google liable for addictive product design. Good. Fuck these Big Tech giants & the surveillance capitalist biz model they road in on. But here's the rub: politicians are already using this to try to advance dangerous censorship & surveillance bills.

ALSO worth reading about Dr. Alan Hart, who pioneered the use of X rays in detecting TB. He was also the first trans man in the US to get a gender affirming hysterectomy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_L....

we need more women-directed space movies

I am so excited to show all of you what I've been cooking up 🏳️‍⚧️🧬🫨 Sorry not sorry for the teaser 👀

Email your senators to urge them not to confirm Jim O’Neill as Director of the National Science Foundation. He's not a scientist, has no relevant expertise, promoted vaccine misinformation, and he helped gut the CDC. Email your senators here! : tr.ee/NoToONeill (1/2🧵)

Getting millions of dollars to run a think tank where every suggestion you make is just "what if we tried sounding more like the right on [insert issue]?" sounds like a sweet gig, tbh

I have a frameshift mutation joke, but oy fprdm:y zslr drmdr

Begging Starfleet Academy to do an explicit plotline around gender/transness in the 32nd century I'm just saying, I know the perfect trans geneticist science communicator to make a cameo as a professor... 👀 🖖🧬🏳️‍⚧️

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Howdy y'all 👋 This channel has been sleepy, but we've been working hard behind the scenes We'll have a big update this month during #TransWeekOfVisibility, followed by an official full launch on DNA Day (April 25) Until then, encourage people who care about trans rights & science to follow us! 🏳️‍⚧️🧬

I love how there's this thing we all talk about but we don't say what it is but everyone on here knows. And like all of you, I cannot wait.

Dear Death, I said get the guy IN the Mueller Report. FFS, Death! We’re all waiting on you. Furiously, God

I miss when everyone blogged.

it's miserable, it's just so miserable. once companies realized the internet wasn't a passing fad and there was money to be made, it was all downhill. I miss using search engines to find personal websites made by humans. I miss webcomic message boards. the internet fucking SUCKS now.
