transness is a forest; gender euphoria is a trail of bread crumbs, which leads to a big cauldron where witch-sirens cook the rich to eat.

grateful to have my song "mountainhead" featured on this expansive new compilation! i've received some especially kind words about my singing performance on this track—maybe you'll like it too! or find a new favorite in another of the many styles skillfully represented here 🎶✨🤘

This very cool compilation came out yesterday and they were kind enough to include Tragic Gadget on the track list. I recommend putting it on while you play around in your favorite open world.

Hey this is my friend and she's really struggling lately - if you can help, I'd appreciate it and if it's possible for you to repost it I'd appreciate that a lot too. gofund.me/b17b6695d

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

one way i pass time through this apocalypse: performing anarchist love-protest songs on the forbidden stoop of the town's oldest colonial building. may i live to see it razed & a garden in its place 🌱🐦‍⬛❤️‍🔥 i'll share some lyrics i sang loudly at several dozen people & cars today 🧵

mark your calendars i am hungry

i started writing a story in 2021 about a near future where a trans femme pop star, astelle astelle, gets "cancelled" when it's revealed most of her discography's vocals were composed using AI since she lost her voice to COVID early in her career. maybe i'll return to it for a dose of levity

"… the barracuda scraped past her thigh a few minutes ago. It was silver and long and thick as her leg. The bracelet of a sea monster, she thought." read & listen to my very short story, a portrait of the spectacle & drama of adolescent girlhood.

a few reflections from me here as the seasons turn. "court the threatening ember! call in delicate green!" i'll be sharing more of my short fiction in the coming months. thanks for support & care in all forms—finanancial support remains a need as i search for supplementary work.

Great day to pick this up!

sunrise a couple days ago from this park altar i arranged last summer, which has finally emerged from the snow. i tuned it up & cast a queer love spell.

And if you hate AI, you need to hate the colonial relationship with labor and material goods. The problem with mechanical looms isn't that the cloth has no soul, it's that the result consolidates power further into the hands of capital, and that they're intending to replace capitalism with omnicide.

i gently recommended this workshop to my mom (a self-identified progressive) & she started asking me invasive questions & dismissing my carefully expressed boundaries. this is how the conversation ended. this is the shit we autistic & trans people deal with every day from supposed "allies."

There is so much wild shit out there from independent creators, from people outside the US, from your own damn friends and their friends! There's upcoming things, recent things, out of print stuff, and painstakingly recovered treasures. You have never needed those rich cunts less than you do now.

The ACLU gets over $50,000,000 a year in funding and trans people have like a 30% unemployment rate. Your money goes a lot further when it’s handed to someone constantly on the brink of homelessness instead of given to filmmakers to shoot a documentary about losing a very important case, you know?

I see a lot of people I respect fundraising for trans orgs and I say this with full love for them and knowledge of how much work goes into organization but like. I feel like I should mention that I believe it’s time to just give trans people money so they can flee these red states trying to kill ‘em

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

every day as a trans person doing creative work is forcing yourself to not focus on the nightmares and hunker down and keep doing as good a job as you can in the hope that for a brief window you can fulfill your drive and get your art into the world before the hammer falls on you too

In our new issue, Jennifer Kabat writes on the knotweed that chokes the parking lots and subdivisions across the United States, and wonders: are the measures we are using to eradicate the invader more dangerous than the plant itself?
