Time to see what all the fuss is about. Starting Absolute Wonder Woman by @kellythompson.bsky.social @cleanlined.bsky.social @beccasee.bsky.social and Jordie Bellaire

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

Narrowing it down is hard as hell. Metal Gear Solid 2 and FF Tactics just narrowly miss the cutoff. But these nine games will give you a sense of me ❤️

Four years to go from a human anti-antidepressant to the funnest butch in the City Beautiful

Christopher Wiggins at The Advocate was kind enough to interview me about my decision to leave Florida, as well as the state of public education there. I would really appreciate if you gave it a read. It almost begins to capture how dire things are.

I didn’t expect anyone to notice or care when I asked for help. Florida’s regressive policies already pushed so many of my queer friends to leave, I had internalized the loneliness. I should’ve believed in my community more. Thanks to everyone who has helped or reached out. It means the world ❤️

Florida is doing what it set out to do, make life unlivable for trans people. www.advocate.com/news/educati...

Ghost of Yotei star: 'workers need more protections' in game development

Saoirse Stone says state policies have turned her daily life in an Orlando high school classroom into a series of quiet humiliations. https://mrf.lu/mQLY

as always,

Seriously though, I’m a hidden gem y’all. I’ve got a book I’m looking to get published. I’ve got an essay with a killer angle on the original Life Is Strange, just in time for it to drive traffic to your site when the sequel hits. And I write fast and good as hell given I’m full-time employed.

I’m achieving levels of lesbianism most can only aspire to. You’re fumbling in her DMs, while I’m leaving her handwritten poetry to find when she wakes up. We are not the same.

Has there ever been wiser words said, than “my tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government“?

I can’t stop thinking about the girls at that school. How many Iranians has our country killed already? How many has it wounded? People just like you and me, trying to live their lives, killed or maimed because of evil old men.

I woke up to news about the strikes on Iran. All I can think about is how many dozens of my students have joined the US military over the years, all because they thought that was the only way they could afford to go to college and pull themselves out of poverty.

Hi everybody. My name is Saoirse. I am an out and proud trans lesbian who, for the past six years, has worked as a public high school English teacher in Orlando. Even as things got bad, I stayed because I believed that kids in red states still deserve a good education. But I have to go now.

I gotta actually sell something I wrote soon. I need to not be financially reliant on being a public school teacher in a red state.

This should be one of the biggest stories of the month, but it’s struggling to get coverage outside of local markets. They’re test driving new abuses of power to be leveraged against all Americans, but people aren’t paying attention because they see trans lives as a secondary concern at best.

I know the response of 'you're causing irreversible harm to children's bodies!' to trans healthcare for kids comes from transphobia, plain and simple. But it's wild that the same people are never vocal about MUCH more common things that ACTUALLY cause irreversible harm. Take high school football...

I think the most critical quality needed to be a good artist and also a good critic is that you have to be absolutely fearless when it comes to experiencing and interrogating your own emotions. Don’t be afraid to feel, and don’t be afraid to figure out why.

I’ve literally been saying this since I was a teenager:

dont fucking speak to me while im mgs3maxxing

When you read the news and are struck by the feminine urge to crash out like Maki

A group of men who regularly rape children decided to ruin the public's perception of trans people in this country for shits and giggles and every time I think about that my heart clenches into a blood-red fist of rage. And I can't stop thinking about it.

my biggest transphobia red flag on dating apps is a cis lesbian describing herself as politically moderate

the one and only @susanapolo.bsky.social wrote about dragon age and the way it handles player choice and it's SO GOOD y'all it's SO GOOD www.mothership.blog/dragon-age-g...

I went to my annual physical with my regular PCP. You know, the one that's supposed to be free with insurance? Well, she asked me if I had any new health concerns. I brought up my desire to shed a few stubborn pounds. We talked about it for 5 minutes. That's now a "split appt" and the cost is $225

"Why doesn't HP have the same intergenerational relevance as Lord of the Rings" Because it's mediocre and suffers from a terminal association with cringe millennials. Sorry. You could as well ask "Why doesn't Twilight have the same intergenerational relevance as Dracula."

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Abolishing ICE was the compromise solution. That’s not on the table anymore. Here’s what we need to do now: Step 1 - Take back political power.

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

What all this self-pitying sludge about ICE agents feeling depressed and scared is forcing into our collective forebrain is the knowledge that our culture has placed a premium not just on creating classes of men who kill and torture at will, but on forcing the rest of us to love them at gunpoint.

A big paradigm shift you need to make if you want to be a good artist, good critic, or good person-who-enriches-themself-through-art is that you have to recognize that whether something is Good is often way less important than whether it is Interesting.

If I successfully teach my students a single thing, it’s the importance of applied curiosity. We live in the Era of Algorithmic Content designed to stifle independent investigation. Our society incentivizes kids to accept and internalize what is given them, not to seek understanding, and that sucks.

Republicans will talk about ICE officers 'acting in self-defense' like they're wild animals and then expect you to treat them like heroes

Every time I almost talk myself into using social media more frequently, I see another trans woman get run out of the digital town.

Waking up this morning to the news about Venezuela is terrifying as a teacher. I teach 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at a primarily Hispanic Title I school in Florida. If, as Trump says, we go boots on the ground in Venezuela, some of those boots will be worn by my current and former students.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

My wife and I are watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. We never call a show by its actual name while watching, so I began referring to it as fmab. She didn’t like that. Said it sounded gross. I love her, so I stopped. But she doesn’t like “Fassigned Malchemist at Brotherhood” either.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Last year I focused on surviving, but I still built new relationships, worked on new, exciting things, and wrote a novel. This year, I’m going to connect with my fellow sapphics, finally get out of Florida, and publish that novel. I swear it, I’m a trans dyke to watch out for in 2026. 💪🏳️‍⚧️

God, I really hope this one is the better than the last ten.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, Like Tiny Tim, who did NOT die

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.

Reagan is one of history's greatest monsters for a multitude of reasons, but did you know he tried to exterminate trans people in the 80s too? Reagan's presidency invited Janice Raymond to author policy that stripped anyone who accessed trans healthcare of access to federal health insurance...

ME PRE TRANSITION: lava is so cool THE LADS: hehe yeah bro ME POST TRANSITION: lava is so cool THE LADS: aha easy mistake to make but actually it's very hot
