Since all I had eligible this year were a couple of very silly poems, I'll forgive you for leaving me off the list. But congratulations to everyone who did make the list.

You can't be political, but I can. Wake up, California, and get behind a candidate for governor!

Thereby stealing @ktwagner.bsky.social record for longest title in the magazine. Anyone who claims "District 69, or, How Trixie Learned ASL: A Drag Alien Occupation Story" is too long should know that I'm now a distant third.

Great show by @dragapella.com tonight! I'd tell you to go see it, but you're already too late.

Here. I memed it for you so you can get the word out.

So here's my theory: Boomers are still, to this day, rejecting their parents' morality. And since their parents defeated the fascists in Europe, that explains why they've gone all-in on fascism today.

If you would like to support the reading, there is a Zeffy you can contribute to!

Welcome to “To Do: The Musical.” Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival will be producing a concert reading Feb 28, 2026 at the Unurban Cafe in Santa Monica. Watch, and follow here for more info.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

Particularly appreciated.

I'm willing to forgive them for excluding mine since it won't be eligible until next year.

You know I can see the analytics, right? Not everyone dropped everything to read this story like I told you to.

This story came from a prompt that asked how a resistance can communicate in a surveillance society. And I was like, DUH!, have it done by the people nobody is listening to. I wrote it just a little over 2 years ago. It wasn't meant to be prophetic like this…

This week, straight from Hell Itself, The Drag Queen of Science Fiction, @ladyzinnia.bsky.social, brings us "District 69, or, How Trixie Learned ASL: A Drag Alien Occupation Story" We'd say more but that title is so long we're almost out of characters. Read this story.

If you are not reading @hellitself.bsky.social, you need to be reading @hellitself.bsky.social. You especially need to be reading @hellitself.bsky.social on Friday.

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

Rehearsals start tonight. We have a great cast, and we can't wait to see how it plays to a real audience. Still looking to raise more money to support both this project and the broader goal of supporting development of new works.

We are about halfway to our funding goal, thanks to all you lovelies out there who have donated. Those of you who haven't donated yet can still be one of the lovelies who did. All you have to do is donate.

My co-writer, whats-his-name, also posted about it.

Well, the SEKRIT PROJECT is no longer secret. I've been co-writing the book for a new musical, and it's getting a staged reading in February through Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival. If you'd like to donate to Santa Clarita Shakes to support the cause:

This dog was spotted wearing shoes. This is not a drill. He hopes you like them. 13/10

Now I want to write "The Pugilist in Puce: A Drag Boxing Day Story" but it takes months to get 10 rejections with the way most editors take their time.

Now why didn't I think of that?

I saw Margo Rita's Monster Ball at Six Flags Magic Mountain last night. Truly a great show, with a great cast. I can't recommend it strongly enough. Seriously, go see it! It's on the Full Throttle stage back behind the front-entrance gift shops.

My collaborator, Whatshisname, has a new story out today.

@deborahldavitt.com is in The Limerick in Chains with me. She's a marvelous poet and a marvelous short storyist, so y'all should be reading her work. It does need more drag queens, but we can't have it all...

Well, it looks like the porn bots have discovered Bluesky. OK, y'all, I'm not gonna just automatically follow you back, you can save the effort.

Hello, world! Pleased to see so many of my fellow Twitter refugees in here. Still here. Still writing. Sekrit projekt still secret...

I have a short story about EXACTLY THIS if you know anyone who wants to publish a raunchy drag piece...
