Wrote about gifting myself a fun system for beating decision fatigue and receiving care I haven't often gotten as an early adultified child and someone without a nesting partner: Decision Dice! www.patreon.com/posts/143890...

I can't stop thinking about these TDoR 2025 facts: 1) sex work still weighs in as the top occupation of trans folks killed in 2025, and 2) organizers and activists made up a rapidly climbing second group by occupation, and largely folks in their 20s & 30s. People younger than I am now.

Lovely, free journaling techniques for anyone who could use a gamifying angle to dig in the dirt of their interior landscape www.restlesscourage.com/ttrpgs/

Interesting. 🤭

Tonight's event was the closest thing I've ever witnessed to a presentation from @dropout.tv's @smartypantsshow.bsky.social and I think we have now officially launched a series of social PowerPoint presentations. 😍 @mainetransnet.bsky.social

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

My digital and IRL Finches match and I am inordinately excited about this. I love Waffles. #Finch #FinchApp

They want to label us terrorists for even describing what they're doing to us. It's the ultimate exercise in gaslighting and victim blaming. 19thnews.org/2025/09/proj...

Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

Hey caption team for @dropout.tv, I see you editing errors in the first pass when I rewatch. Appreciate you 👏🏻🫶🏼 #Accessibility #CC #AuditoryProcessing

I watched a movie tonight where a member of the American armed forces immediately shot into a void that he did not understand. Just now playing a new video game, I tentatively approached a creature, not knowing whether friend or foe, and took damage as the creature charged me. I prefer my approach.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court denied the Trump administration's latest attempt to enforce their discriminatory passport policy. Transgender, non-binary, and intersex people will continue to be able to obtain accurate passports.

earthliberationstudio.com/shop/making-... Felt compelled to reread this zine today. It's a real good one. @earthliberationart.bsky.social

"How arrogant is it to believe that I can turn any of my thoughts, all of my thoughts, each of my thoughts into a poem, or story, in a few lines, that would make someone... stop and think. Maybe even make their breath catch..." Am I headed into my arrogant era? Arrogant Auntie, is that the brand? 🤔

Without glasses I read this as Rihanna vs Smurfette and I was much more interested before I realized that it actually says "is"

Sometimes everything is so wildly bad and yet seven people sit around a table in a dome holding paper sunflowers on sticks chanting "Charlie brown, no shirt no panties" and it makes the world a little bit easier to live in. 🫶🏼 @dimension20.bsky.social @dropout.tv #CloudwardHo #AdventuringParty

I GOT A RACCOON TO CLIMB ON ME.

Immigrant & Trans Mainers are facing escalating, unprecedented threats to safety, dignity, & basic rights. That's why the People's Coalition for Safety & Justice (PCSJ) - a collective of frontline organizations with deep community ties - is launching the Maine Solidarity Fund.

I love this birb so much 🥹 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hk2KY7/

I love my neighborhood wildlife.

Today I am grateful for my PCP, for prednisone, and for my brother being back home after a week-long solo trip (his first) followed by a 48 hour delay in Baltimore due to the severe storms on Tuesday. If not for him being here, it would be another sleepless night. Monday, we're back to work.

Reminder that is not @ anyone in my friends list but that has come up repeatedly of late: using they/them pronouns for binary trans people (transwomen and transmen // folks who use she/her he/him pronouns) is misgendering. 🫶🏼🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Pride! Come join us for our inaugural arts event in downtown Lewiston on June 28th at 6pm to fundraise for @mainetransnet.bsky.social! Let’s fight fascism, be in community, enjoy art and music, and inspire a little joy! tinyurl.run/in-my-skin #maine #pride #protestart #RESIST

my friends at @mainetransnet.bsky.social just helped beat back I think eight separate pieces of state level anti-trans legislation, they are doing hugely important work

Show us your JOY! MTN is seeking visual art about or depicting TRANS JOY by trans and nonbinary artists. Art will be featured in our 2026 calendar that will give us and our community a full year of reminders that joy and delight are our birthrights, and raise $ for MTN. Submissions are due 7/15!

Continuous line drawing in two colors on the first page of a new sketchbook. Thanks to @wendymac.bsky.social for the prompt that came to mind when I cast around for a simple and joyful way to bring art back into my days after time away. 🫶🏼🐉✍️

I've watched Doechii's NPR tiny desk concert before, or more accurately, I've listened to it: I didn't watch it or else I would've noticed previously how there's no audience in the shots, no audience interaction. Does NPR only fill the studio for certain genres or what?

I wonder if there are organizations where you aren't allowed to be a donor without also being a participant in programming.

Okay T Kingfisher with the zinger first lines... I noticed it with Magician's Guide to Defensive Baking and again just now starting Paladin's Grace 👏🏻

It is a very good thing that this title is full of lighthearted sweetness in addition to things like cities beginning registries for folks with particular talents. 🙃

Working on cross hatching, understanding values, and using white gel pens and colored pencil on watercolor marker.

I think I've accidentally started writing a comic. Maybe it'll be a series of zines? I don't know yet, but I haven't been excited enough about an idea to execute it on multiple sequential occasions like this in a very long time, and never with graphic art and not just words.

First open window day of the season and I'm playing Wingspan for Switch on my TV while at least five different species of birds hang out around my feeders just outside. AITA?

“we must preserve human rights here. Can I get a hell yeah?” Bre Kidman of @mainetransnet.bsky.social brought it today at our @indivisiblepwm.bsky.social rally! #MEpolitics #HandsOff

unexpected art. This lunch plate delighted me and I was so pleased with how the speedy print of the orchid turned out, just adding some water to my dried out palette from yesterday, dipping the blossom in it, and laying it out on the textured paper.

My most autistic traits are often overridden by my most ADHD traits: the only reason I don't frequently have two videos and an art project and exercise happening at the same time is that I can't get my executives to function well enough to create a space where I can do that

For your mental health I present: Plum’s paws

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We’re asking you to join us in taking these IMMEDIATE steps to fight anti-trans attacks & reaffirm Maine’s commitment to the legal & human rights of trans folks. Links to find your reps, a list of bills, and a great clip from @lastweektonight.com @our resource page for allies (and trans folks too!)

Y'ever pull a card and you're like, oh yeah I know her 🙃 Fun fact: Jupiter IS in Gemini... @croadcore.bsky.social @chaninicholas.bsky.social

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!
