Happy TDOV! My life has been hugely enriched by having friends across the gender spectrum, and in a sense I think transphobes are punishing themselves by insisting on leading a life that is smaller, poorer, and meaner than it needs to be. However in another sense more vengeance is needed

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

btw @mattielubchansky.com @kasulke.co and I made an advice podcast this week and mattie got so impassioned that she unsheathed a sword mid-recording. we discuss whether u should tell yr husband about yr affair(!), whether u should flee the country(!), the time we met a piss ghost(!!), and more!

anyways. we're being visible. i guess

I’m concerned about a supposed legal expert claiming that being told you can’t do something is exactly the same as being told you can

Astoria Trans Collective will be in the space tonight 5-9pm with a raffle/bake sale fundraiser, nail polish meet cute, clothing swap, poetry, binding demo, and more! www.instagram.com/p/DWSnLjFDdjM/ come hang out, say hi, ask yr local trans bookseller for book recommendations (i have so many!)

Happy TDOV from this hat give your money to trans people

So resentful that the solution to my weeks of shoulder pain, which I've been stretching and massaging and taking long baths and googling hypermobility doctors about, was just Put On A Different Bra

Had someone in the wild try to make the case to me that AI "isn't going anywhere" so "you have to start working with it" and no I don't! I don't and you can't make me!

A burrito is a dumpling

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

every so often, I rewatch this amazing 2-minute clip of Jane Fonda being interviewed about gay rights in 1979. her warmth, tone, and words are extraordinarily inspiring. “I hope they use me. What am I here for if not to be used by good people for good things?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=01wK...

Fortune should be mortified—"A story by Lichtenberg sometimes starts with a prompt entered into Perplexity or Google’s NotebookLM, asking it to write something based on a headline he comes up with. He moves the initial drafts into a content-management system and edits the stories before publishing."

also do not FORGET we are doing a LIVE SHOW in LONDON ENGLAND next month!! live.nogodsnomayors.com

I think awareness about Rowling is important And More folks on here need to be talking about this because the ramifications affect a lot of people www.france24.com/en/live-news...

if you want to know the history of this kind of policy, I made a podcast two years ago that explained why these tests make no sense, how they were already used and eventually abandoned by the IOC in the 80's and 90's, and the devastating impacts they have on real athletes: www.tested-podcast.com

I just think in this moment, if you’re wearing “tactical” gear as fashion, don’t

"Earthsea was better" sure, but if Ursula Le Guin was alive and funding Nazis then you would need to boycott her too, whether they're good books is beside the point

What you think of the quality of HP, whether you think it's bad or good or embarrassing or important, doesn't matter. What matters is its author is making money off it to funnel into stripping trans people of their rights. I'd give up literally anything if that was the consequence of loving it.

imagine everyone around you like constantly and casually talked about how attached they were to jerry falwell’s childrens book and its movie adaptations

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

It is entirely possible your grandmother was born in the 70s she knows what high fructose corn syrup is

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

The little vest grabbing thing they all do... we've gotta get a name for that and make it as socially acceptable as jacking off in public as soon as possible.

I do this like once a week someone interview me

We're hosting a free artist talk with the great @mattielubchansky.com this Wednesday, 3/25 - learn about her process for making trans-centric dystopian sci-fi comics! 👀 www.crucialcomix.com/product/arti...

I just feel so terrified and helpless for myself and my family and everyone

I thought I woke up in the middle of the night to write down an idea but it turns out I just dreamt that I did that, so whatever idea it was I hope it sucked

🎵the world is a vampire / im gonna ride it all night long 🎵

i can’t believe i said ‘worry’ so many times here. if i’d been responding to a less loathsome letter it would be a sign to get off my high horse

“I worry in a general sense because I don't like this being established as a precedent for any cutting of human workers in favor of using an app on your phone,” Shannon said. “Like, that’s dystopia, baby.”

Thinking about Skyforger again this morning and wishing someone would make a (non A.I.) real-life version of the painting described here so we could hang it in the @hellgatenyc.com office. hellgatenyc.com/tremble-befo...

I wrote 750 words this morning give me a gold star

I was on Justin Burke's excellent new podcast talking about queer food writing!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This dreadful book banning bill, H.R. 7661, has made it out of committee and into the House. It's time to call your reps.

Legs are going :(

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Great piece about my favorite movie theater, the staff that is unfortunately being treated like garbage, and the concept / future of dine-in movies generally!

well fuck

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...
