You might know I’m working on another game. If Penrose was me working through my feelings re: transition, Lacuna is me working through my grief re: losing my dad. This candle was his. The label just started splintering in a very familiar way. The thing is, I made my game’s title card months ago. 💜

Shots from the other night! 💖

I figured I’d have a good time, but that ended up being one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. The drag show absolutely ruled, To Wong Foo is now one of my all-time favorite films, and the vogue mini-ball was stunning and stellar from start to finish. Perfect night out with the bestie! 😊💖

Off to To Wong Foo + drag show + vogue mini-ball w/Joannaaa 💖

What movie do you consider perfect?

My friend is performing at gay church tn, so I’m morally obligated to wear slutty dress 💋

Was given the nickname Liza Al ghaib after posting Dune GIFs in the server, and as someone who’s obsessed with that series and has wanted to be given a cool nickname since childhood, this is easily one of the best things that’s ever happened to me 😂😭

I literally look like this

Bestie got us tickets for the Rocky Horror 50th Anniversary Spectacular, and freaking Barry Bostwick, Nell Campbell, and Patricia Quinn are all gonna be there, and this is a literal bucket list item, and aaahhh!!! 😭😭😭

Noticed Remy in mouse cursor tracking mode while I was working on pixel art, so naturally I had to indulge him 😂

It’s time for me to go fulfill my sacred duty (drum along to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack in its entirety)

I would like, if I may, to recommend a song for your spooky playlist of choice. Rough audio, but for good reason: this is quasi lost media—a song recorded for Revenge of the Old Queen, a sequel to Rocky Horror that never happened. But this recording survived, and so did the script, which rips 🤘

Reached the halfway point in my far future trans technowitch novel!! This’ll be a nice and cozy, short and sweet one for the sapphics. Onward! 😊💜

It’s the color-matched earbuds for me 🩵

Make a band singular: Øne Piløt

Was watching a retrospective video on the Katamari series (Katamari being a hyperfocus lately, if you couldn’t tell 😅), and then I remembered that I literally shouted out Katamari Damacy in my debut novel! So naturally, I had to dig that out 😂

I couldn’t *not* do this song 🤭

Last night was v fun, and I am v gay, and I guess I just get to look like this now ✨

About 3/4 of the way through Nevada by Imogen Binnie, which I’m reading bc a chick at tgirl picnic had a leather jacket with “Read Nevada by Imogen Binnie” written on the back of it, and I can now concur: Read Nevada by Imogen Binnie.

Dykes on bikes open world Metroid was not on my bingo card, but I am so here for it 🤘

As a metroid fan AND a lesbian,

the look / the fit ✨

We’re getting the gang together tonight for tgirl takeover, and I’m so excited. I love my gay lil transsexual friend group 🤭✨

If you’re looking to get into drumming, I cannot overstate how OP of a strat it is to just drum along to some of your favorite songs. Your enthusiasm will be through the roof, and the euphoria of getting to participate in and experience the music in a new way is honestly unmatched. Just pure flow 🤘😊

We need cozy fantasy and simple joys to nourish our hearts and souls. I'm so grateful for the love and fun out there in queer, cozy fantasy. And grateful for you Autumn Wolff! 💖

I love possessing v niche information, like the fact that if an adaptation of Imogen Binnie's Nevada were ever actually made (which it absolutely should), then Lost in the Supermarket would go crazy hard as bg music in the scene where Maria and James first meet in the Star City Wal-Mart.

Writing this cozy-sapphic far future trans technowitch novel feels like getting a big hug from someone close, like the excitement of finding a new friend group of people who truly get you. And anyway, I hope it feels like that to read it too. I’m loving this so much. 🥰

at the bar straight up “corking it” and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My pinots

A little bit ago a random Liza started following me on Duolingo, and I saw she followed a bunch of other Lizas too, so I followed suit, and now we have like a league of Lizas that send congrats and high-fives when we achieve new things, and it’s pretty lovely actually 😊

Having queer & trans musically-inclined friends means going to a bunch of queer & trans musically-inclined events. What a life!

Tell me why when Baby One More Time came up on shuffle I instantly knew how to drum it with literally no changes needed on the fly 😅

Okay so the level where you remake Virgo (my sign) starts with this. I first played this game in 2004, the same year I was first able to verbalize the fact that I was trans. Also! This level plays my favorite song in the game (Lonely Rolling Star). Did Katamari legit help me realize I was a girl? 😅

I am, in fact, very trans and very gay.

Canticle was literally life-changing for me as a young writer, and I’ve never found anything else by Miller, so when I saw this in the bookstore, it was a holy-shit-immediate purchase ✨

Genuinely love how I can go from goblin-moded while drumming to cleaned up, Twin Peaks-moded for sweater weather walkies ✨ The duality of woman 🤭

Trying to get myself acclimated to incorporating kick drum and weirdo improv fills more, and it turns out Roxy Music is perfect for that 😂

40 lbs. down, 60 to go! Turns out losing the last of your masc fat but keeping your curves is a *really* good motivator to get to that goal weight 🤘

In related news, we’re apparently getting a new Katamari game next month!!! 💖

Woke up from an awful nightmare to immediate irl out-of-my-control stress and decided to play Katamari Damacy about it. I’m not saying early morning Katamari sesh will fix everything, but it can’t hurt, and it *will* make the world seem more whimsical by default ✨

I wrote my fill of serious literary stuff, both short-form and novels, and I’m obvi proud of the output, but I think I’m in a different place in my life now. I’m ready to just write cozy little sapphic books from now on, tbh, starting with Opal and Oestre (the WIP) 😊💖

Tonight‘s “and now for something completely different” double feature will be Strange Darling and Hair. Joanna hasn’t seen Hair, and neither of us has seen Strange Darling, so I’m excited!

Create more weird art. It’ll make other weirdos feel less alone and feed your soul at the same time. 🤘

Got the first two covered with the book I just released and the one I’m working on now 🤘

It’s my birthday! What better day than today to put out into the world a very queer, very trans, very trippy sci-fi novel? This one’s for all the people who feel not quite right in this world. The ones looking for the others who feel the same. 💜 lizaolsonbooks.com/boundless-an...
