I think I just don't connect to these stories about how "even before I passed as a man people respected me more!" Bc the people saying that usually live in progressive American cities and I'm from small-town Saskatchewan, we are not the same, lmao

Creatives! Show me your favorite thing you made in 2025. It could be a sketch, a painting, a book, a sculpture - something YOU made that you're proud of, big or small. ------ I’m pretty damned proud of the cover of Disposable Magic, which I made myself, and the book itself, which is one of my best.

I got told to read Black Flame for transmasc reasons, and sure, it sounds interesting, I was intending to get to Manhunt in 2026 but I might read Black Flame instead, it looks more interesting and from the bits I've read from Manhunt I'm not sure I'll like it much anyway, why not procrastinate more?

I'm going to choose peace, for now, and simply say that if we're going to uplift trans men in our community, it's important to uplift ones that express joy in their manhood, not dismay. We're all different, sure, but to move past the toxic connotations of manhood, we have to look at people it HELPS!

Being trans is such an interesting experience when you meet other sorts of trans people, bc for me, female puberty was hell and I had no idea why I hated being a woman for so long, it felt like I was forced to put on a sick performance for others' satisfaction But-

This. OMG, this. Manhood and testosterone were an unending nightmare *for me*, but watching my transmasc friends blossom into the fullness of their manhood made me believe in the beauty of masculinity for the first time in my life. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to read The Will to Change.

Sadly, the aftermath of war is as cruel as the war itself. We were left exposed without real support. What we live today is not life, but survival. We urgently need tarps and fabrics to protect the place before things worsen. Your support today is the difference between standing and collapse.💔

In 2026 I'll likely work from earliest to latest but I'll go through my book review threads and convert them into kofi posts, it technically makes them more accessible and readable in one piece as opposed to a thread, also I think paywalling my opinions on books by a dollar is fine.
