fostering a trans boy and going on a gender affirming shopping trip to the army navy surplus store!!!! I hadn't received a single dm about this, you need to get with it

Literally no one told me the Starsky and Hutch holiday episode was about them fostering a trans boy

In the new year, I'll be hosting a read-a-long of my bestselling trans Regency romance A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN. Read it again or for the first time, everyone is welcome. Sign up: buttondown.com/a-gentlemans...

Annual reminder that I've got a holiday romcom out "A super-steamy queer holiday romance that deals with serious topics, such as substance addiction, identity exploration, and family strife, while still managing to be uproariously funny and incredibly romantic." —Library Journal (⭐ review)

A few billionaires control things. Money has ALWAYS controlled things. Sometimes it's been the monarchy, the Church, etc. Notably, none of the people you named are Jews. A cabal of Jews do not, have never, controlled the world. The conspiracy theory exists to detract from those in actual power.

this made me so happy

I keep forgetting to subscribe to Felicia's excellent newsletter and today I finally did!

doing a tiny bit of admin work today makes me feel like gods strongest soldier. no one else is checking their emails but me. i alone am a Good Worker and I will inherit absolutely nothing bc no one should be working today what the hell am I doing

While I'm not giving the The Telegraph any clicks to check, I hope that my recent piece for @theskinnymag.bsky.social is at least more compassionate – if not also more realistic about the still-present dangers of COVID – than the article screen-shotted here. www.theskinny.co.uk/intersection...

I got an email alert saying that Gov. Hochul has rejected S1099, the NY state Freedom to Read Act, from becoming law. I haven't seen any coverage of this yet, and I can't find the text of the memo that explains her reasoning. But I guess vetoing it on the Friday night before Xmas will do that.

I just read this and it is FUUUUUN! Go get your queer joy, fam! 💜

Every time I think about getting a lil stoned I worry It Might Happen when I'm not sober enough to fully understand What Has Happened It ain't stopping me but I do think about it

What's up bluesky I've got a trans Regency romance with jokes and gags and a carriage chase if that's your gift recipient's thing. Plus Heated Glances oooo!

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

For readers who are about to lose care, I have been told that the Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping the families of trans youth contingency plan to access that care. www.transyouthemergencyproject.org

There is a lot about the right's attack on trans issues to be concerned about, but at a high level I think it's really important to double down on how entirely fabricated it is. That's the case with women's sports, it's the case with kids getting lower surgery ... it's all hypothetical, not reality

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

This is a REAL question and I'm interested in actually hearing answers: have you, as an adult person (ages 24+) forged a friendship with a Best Friend? When and how did you, as two adults, broach the subject to agree that you are Best Friends? Or did you never do that?

For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit. The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.

hi, cis folks! today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail. either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no. tap into the 🧵for more

I've had one lovely book reviewer reach out to ask about whether this book is "sapphic" or not, and I've been tagged in a bunch of posts that simply label it that, so I'd like to share what I told the one lovely person: I have been calling it sapphic-ish. Flora-William is a woman and a man.

oh cool we can bully you here too now, honestly thought you wouldn't try

hey kids do you wanna see a dead body. go look at PW posting about their Ai workshops on the picture place

@mozilla.org I have been using Firefox for YEARS. Not sure what the new CEO is hoping to achieve by "AI everything now" but if the hope is to drive people like me off your browser, you will surely succeed.

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Not only do some people not have a sense of humor, some people refuse to learn how jokes are structured. Your snarky replies could have hit if you put in the effort! But some people refuse to play. They're only commenting for Work, as a job lol

No *you* were crying while reading this on the tram earlier and ended up entirely missing your stop.

True Believers got their paid monthly newsletter today with a short story starring Nick & Eli from SECOND CHANCES IN NEW PORT STEPHEN Happy new year to all. Let's hope 2026 is a better one.

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

Opening week for the very 1st Toby McGuire Spider-Man, so packed in the FL suburban theater I sat next to an elderly lady who shouted GOOD FOR HIM! when peter let the wrestling thief go (who we all know would later go onto murder uncle Ben) After the reveal she snorted "well he couldn't've known"

Paid subscribers to my newsletter are gonna get a cute lil official coda to this book next week!

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

We've got a trans teenager who's a friend of the family, and we want to give her a merry Christmas. Book recommendations along these parameters would be so appreciated!

This is a great rec list with a ton of lesser-known queer indie books! (and I'm not just saying that because a bunch of mine are there too)

Gov Hochul can sign the NY Freedom to Read Act anytime now. Urge her to get it done before the end of the year. No time to slack off! action.aclu.org/send-message...

You don't even have to have bought the book from the specific website to leave a review! A lot of people simply paste the same review into a handful of retailers' forms. Those people will be getting a kiss on the head from me if they so desire
