Just autographing a Justice League comic where a trans and queer character I made up with a friend is on the cover with some of DC Comics' most recognizable characters, a thing I never imagined happening even in my wildest flights of fancy.

IKYMI: Last week, I wrote for @assignedmedia.org about the difficulties — and beauty — of life as a fat trans person. I’ve been really pleasantly surprised since then by how many folks came out of the woodworks to share their stories in the QRTs, some of which are very raw and vulnerable.
