Here are some snippets from my illustrated essay, "An American Enby Moves to Japan," about how my sartorial expression shifted when I moved from the USA to Japan, published in the queer fashion blog Just Femme + Dandy 💋💋💋 Read the article at: justfemmeanddandy.substack.com/p/200267bc-1...

My baby 💘

Super affordable!

One more baby pic, I swear

Does the CBLDF have a purpose? Does the organization even exist anymore? @cbldf.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

Look at this baby scrub jay running around in my backyard 🥹. I've been keeping the dogs inside so that Baby stays safe. (Its parents are feeding him and chasing away squirrels etc.)

The problem with speaking publicly about someone having a borderline personality episode and smearing the reputation of innocent people is that people with BPD are likely to be paranoid and vindictive and come after you for it.

Memoir review: Author is not vulnerable enough Also: Harsh judgement about every mistake the author has admitted to making 😭

LOOSE ROOTS

What i am making versus what inspired it This is my first time making a skirt and my first time working with chiffon (rough!!). I am thinking of adding some sparkles. (Work in progress)

I guess my only real problem with AI is that it doesn't work, uses all the water, makes the worst people who ever slime-trailed across this green earth richer, gives monsters cover to crater organizations, destroys lives in both obvious & subtle ways & also isn't even AI. Besides that, I'm for it.

Put on some absurdly glam nails with me! I went into Don Quijote for an umbrella and somehow came out with these beasts 💅

WHAT

A few years ago I made a series of collage portraits of friends and people who have influenced me in positive ways. Each one used photographs I personally took and hand dissected, of gemstones, clouds, flowers, and other things from real life.

White + Asian = Wasian? White+ LatinX = WhatinX? White + Black = Whack? I dunno man, I think I’ll stick with “mixed race”…

Thinking about the fact that certain Chatbots have encouraged kids to end their lives and how certain tech bros don't want to change them lest they go "out of character"... My grumpy talking fish was a better person than those jerks.

When a podcaster (or anyone) announces that they’re funny: perhaps let the listener be the judge of that 🙃

Super fun to get hit with bi-phobia from a rando whose timeline is filled with “Love is love 🏳️‍🌈” posts. Apparently acceptance only goes one way?

The more uncanny, sterile AI art I see, the more messy human art I crave.

In 2022 or so, I began taking generic Lexapro to help with an esophageal issue. I was not a fan of meds (docs used to call me the "Side Effect Queen"), but my gastroenterologist convinced me by saying that a side effect might be that some of my anxiety would be lifted.

The hardest part about being an editor is having to reject people, even those whose work I’d like to publish but I can't for one reason or another (the other editors rejected it; it is too similar to something else we've got on the roster; it doesn't fit with the magazine's goals or aesthetics).

Video for details 🥳🎈

Approximately a year after I began this project, I have finished the embroidery part of my larger-than-lifesize self-portrait “Queer Rage in Exile.” Next I will decide how to display it and where. I’m open to ideas as to where this should be displayed, so please reach out if you have suggestions!

HERO.

This audiobook had me laughing and screaming and groaning. What a delightfully nasty story. A+++ to @tkingfisher.com

Today is a nice day to read @marinaomi.bsky.social 's book I thought You Loved Me 💔 Mourning the woman I told all my boyfriends I would leave them for, who doesn't even tell me when she's in town now.

These handsome devils with their fancy crowns appear to be Charaxes sempronius, the Tailed Emperor butterfly. They're native to Australia where they feed on kurrajong or bottletree shrub leaves. They're also famous for getting drunk & fighting on hilltops. Let's talk about these tiny dragons.

When someone courts a person much younger than them and says, “s/he’s more mature than I am!” I have never taken that to mean that their object of affection is actually mature.

When i was little, adults told kids “god made dirt and dirt don’t hurt,” but clearly they didn’t know about tetanus and staph.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

In 2013, I made an essay for XOJane about being sexually harassed on a panel of my colleagues. I anonymized the harrasser, but he outed himself a couple days later, issuing a public non-apology ("Sorry you didn't get my sense of humor"), which led to his fans barraging me with hate + death threats.

I know I’m not supposed to respond to trolls, but this guy (posing with what is presumably his daughter in his facebook profile) responded rudely to my post about being sexually harassed and I couldn’t help myself

People who read my books know I have been in a looot of relationships, and while I don't regret most of them (each experience is a lesson blah blah blah), I do regret not seeing the words, "You put too much importance on ___" as an incompatibility issue rather than a moral failing.

I finished the right hand! Now my actual hand feels like it’s about to fall off 😅
