"if you live against your grain to appease a word, then the only person who benefits is no person at all." I wish more people understood how much we get a say in who we are and what we do in our lives, in so many aspects of our lives, not just gender stuff. tapas.io/episode/3755...

We're looking forward to connecting with writers of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction with an interest in games at AWP in March!

Read this, last night, cover to cover after it was gifted to me. I really enjoyed it! Actually haven't read a whole book in one sitting in a long time (it's really short). Kinda miffed to find the intro about stolen sapphic letters was fiction. That felt kinda irresponsible. But the story was fun!

When I first wrote this book, I was maybe 2 years into my transition. Now that I've finally gotten to this point in posting it I'm 5.5 years in. I've made so many changes to this convo that it feels like present me talking with past me. And I love it for that. tapas.io/episode/3749...

COLOR!! Issy's back story was a MAJOR last minute add (as in, I wrote it a month ago, where as most of the book was written three years ago...kinda stressed about it) but I was SO excited when I realized that I could use color!! While I like it conceptually, I get so tired of b/w.

Listening to Lady Moon during a figure drawing session and was inspired to draw her during breaks. Tho she looks like she has a black eye and snake bite piercings because it’s impossible to figure out where the point is on a piece of compressed charcoal 😭😭 but I’m still happy with it!

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Imagine Watergate and the Saturday night massacre combined but instead the media ran cover for it. That's what this is.

Lesbian graffiti, North Point State Park.

I love drawing Lorens. And these reaction expressions are always so much fun to draw. Trying to convey feelings with more than just words always gives such a boost to the subtext of whats being said. 🏳️‍⚧️Along the River Phoria🏳️‍⚧️ Tapas: tapas.io/episode/2641...

What does climate change mean for the future of chocolate? "Chocolate, cacao... is so delicate.... Chocolate is not going to be around the way that we know it within our lifetimes."

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

It's Maple Syrup Time! I talk with Brittany Roger of the Irvine Nature Center about turning sap into syrup! Sweet!

If you’re a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as “amended” so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

We’re living through Deconstruction. I don’t know what else to call it — it’s an assault on the New Deal, Great Society, Reconstruction, and every other rights movement I can think of.

Of course I'm rooting for the bats

Working on a new pfp when a song came on I remember drawing a very different self portrait to, years ago, when I was a different person, in a completely different point in my life. I looked the sketch up an realized this makes for a nice little trans timeline. I'm so, so glad I stayed.

So she makes a push to ban trans women from restrooms for fear of cis women being attacked, only to immediately…attack a cis woman. Got it.

Out of DC for the weekend - can't think of any place I'd want to be less during the inauguration. The stories will come fast after Monday. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Take those breaths of fresh air and enjoy those around you. Recharge as much as you can. We'll all be in this together afterwards.

Remember Bigolas Dickolas? That was word of mouth & it got This is How You Lose the Time War to the top 30 of multiple Amazon markets' listings for ALL books You probably won't be someone's Bigolas Dickolas, but you'll help them sell some books... and you MIGHT be their Bigolas Dickolas, who knows
