"She is basically just a very advanced toaster oven designed to look like JonBenét Ramsey." - new from @midimyers.com 🔥 www.mothership.blog/girl-facsimi...

Go check out my debut on Mothership! This one was such a labor of love for me — Disco Elysium’s one of my favorite games, so getting to write about its bizarre, messy world was kind of a dream come true. Special thanks to @midimyers.com for the great edits. <3

I have my English classes do an end of year narrative writing assignment. It’s a good creative exercise, mostly good fun. This girl just pitched me Supernatural fanfic. In 2026. Apparently some of the kids found it on streaming and now they’re reinventing 2010s Tumblr from first principles.

This is so real, and it describes my experience exactly. I’m a woman, yes, but first and foremost I am a Dyke. That’s both because it’s how I feel, what has meaning to me, but also because lesbians embraced me when I came out. They didn’t just allow me to carve out space. They made room.

It’s lesbian visibility week. If you aren’t a lesbian, that means if you see a lesbian, you have to give that lesbian $5. If you yourself are a lesbian though… heyyy girl, what are you doing on Friday?

"Yeah, just, girls crying and laughing and fighting. That's my favorite thing to draw." — @koh.money on their new webcomic, Angel Arcade, which celebrates "the experience of being a fighting game player"

I have read this, and it is indeed pretty fucking gay. And also really, really good. The creative team has a real knack for noir.

i guested on a good podcast to talk about @mothership.blog!! check it out. @404media.co is awesome btw, if you like mothership you should be reading 404 as well

Maddy and Sam get into the launch of Mothership and the importance of owning one's own work.

Red states are rapidly turning themselves into intellectual backwaters, a petty and cruel attempt to indoctrinate the next generation, hoping in vain to stave off the oncoming backlash their policies have created.

We’ve gotten approved for an apartment, but we’re still fundraising the last bit to help us get by until the next academic year starts. If you can donate or share, we could really use the help!

Greg Owen interviewed me about the state of trans rights in Florida education. The long and the short of it is that things are bad.

america is a land of profound contrast because i can accurately say "yeah the government refuses to grant me a passport even though im a citizen bc of anti-trans laws" and the other person is like "damn. anyway the most important issue in my life right now is that i dislike the new superman movie"

i think my student loan collectors want me to get into gymnastics, they keep telling me my balance is "outstanding"

any advice from writers for when you desperately need to start writing something but you can't because you're terrified of it being terrible

For the past few years, I have felt my world slowly constrict around me. I’ve had to make myself smaller and smaller to get by. But now I can count on one hand the weeks til my life can get big again. And I’m making a to-do list.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

I’m really excited to say that my wife and I have been approved for our first choice apartment in West Baltimore! We’re going to be making the move from Orlando in July!

What happened to this poor woman is my nightmare scenario. I think it’s the same for most trans women I know. Transphobia is a dangerous delusion infecting our political and economic elites, and it has awful, tangible effects on people just trying to live their lives.

Coming out as trans can be scary as fuck, and all of the worst people want us to be so scared that we won’t do it. But we keep doing it anyway because we deserve it, because it’s what is best for us, and because fuck them

Setting aside any other thoughts I might have about the Street Fighter movie, I just have to say that Andrew Koji as Ryu is some divinely-inspired casting. RIP Warrior, gone to soon

A day like today deserves a wind down to match. Luckily, I recently picked up some suitable reading material.

I truly do try not to vague post, but sometimes I’m ethically barred from sharing details about really terrible situations. Anyway, no matter who you are, there are probably abusive men who have gone unnamed and unpunished in your orbit, and some of them might even be “the good ones.”

I don’t want to hear useless half apologies from people who facilitated the US dive into transphobia. If Dave Chapelle, or anybody else, wants to make amends, they are welcome to donate to my fund to escape the hell they’ve made of my home state.

journalism in general is very difficult for women (and black people, and trans people) to have long careers in. but in this specific niche is it particularly dire.

Yeah, whatever, it’s not literally all men. But it can be any man. Fuck, looks like I’m crying instead of eating lunch today.

IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead. This is a VERY big test case.

i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics

I don’t normally like romance manga. I have little patience for heterosexual nonsense, I couldn’t care less about what two men do, and even most yuri trends too young and too saccharine. But How Do We Relationship fucking got me. It depicts love like the love I’ve been lucky enough to experience.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Possibly the most important piece of my career. Many thanks to Mothership for giving me the time and space to have a crack at this crucial topic.

“A lot of us in the games industry… we live in these bubbles. We think that what’s happening externally is not going to directly affect us, and that’s so incredibly untrue.” — Elaine Gomez, Chair of the Equity Committee for UVW-CWA, speaking to reporter @catbussell.bsky.social

My wife and I are still raising funds to get out of Florida ASAP. With transphobic policies and anti-teacher policies on the rise, the time is now. But living in this state has exhausted our savings and run up our debt. If you can donate or share, please help us out! gofund.me/1b7d6eb08

kind of intrigued by the idea of holding global democratic votes for what we name stuff on celestial bodies and the resulting future where all the moons in the solar system are MESSI-1 through MESSI-996 and every crater on the moon is named after a kpop star

FUCK YES This is what it’s all about.

One thing that can surprise people when they first meet me in person is that I don’t voice train. I sometimes get asked why, and it’s simple: I transitioned for wellness, not conformity. I’m not dysphoric about my voice, and I do not change myself to make cis people comfortable.

52. I’d watched DCAU stuff and X-Men and even picked up the odd comic from my local library, but 52 is what made me fall in love with comics.

An actual longform demographic study of Gamerant’s user base wouldn’t tell me as much as this list did

I had another person ask if I wished I was born cis. And again, they were shocked I said no. Transness is crucial to who I am. A cis me isn’t me. And I’m at a point in my life where I quite like me. I’m not perfect, but despite all the struggles I face, I’m happy, and I can help those around me.
