"An academic discovers a paper attributed to him that does not exist has been cited 42 times" is a sentence with an actual referent in 2025.

It's true. 😉 rebfree.itch.io/matcha-and-b...

Considering making one of the most important non-protagonist characters in my horror novel trans.

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

"If you're asking yourself, 'should this character be trans,' they probably should." (?)

Science fiction story in which general AI is created, but they communicate in a way not intelligible as a language in the way humans understand language, and the only way humans and AI have to communicate is by writing and running complex programs to signify meaning.

Reading.

Thinking about writing a novella.

My favorite kind of holes in roads are where the hole opens into a pipe or some other space, so all you see is just a void open to the road surface. It's probably just a pipe, but who's to say it's not an opening to a subterranean tunnel system, or a portal to another space?

there’s not a single fucking reason cishet men couldn’t learn a thing or two from butch role models—real or fictional. not. a. single. reason

“we need more positive examples of masculinity in media” they cry and yet there isn’t a massive attempt to make butch lesbians normalized. lies. it’s all lies

I have made a Japanese-style seal (hanko). 僕は判子を作ってあります

The list is actually pretty solid! BUT ALSO FOR REAL THOUGH.

anyway, everything sucks, so many consider reading my hopeful trans lesbian cheerleader book series (and, in doing so, supporting a trans woman and her wife who are stuck in England)

Today we’re talking a bit about something we will work on if we meet our funding goal. We’ve been planning The Reconstruction Papers most of the year and our difficulty getting it off the ground as we are now was part of the motive for the fundraiser. www.liberalcurrents.com/a-preview-of...

In an @ezrafurman.bsky.social kind of mood this morning. ezrafurman.bandcamp.com/track/book-o...

we're going to win

Your moment of calm: Hooded Mergansers on Whidbey Island.

Write. You have an entire universe between your ears

Here at LittlePuss Press, we are proud of our strong historical track record of listening to our audience and taking their concerns seriously

Still in awe of this absolute unit of a triple-decker.

I think I'm going to write a horror novella before getting back to working on The Nine Pilots of Nebula AI0372.

“The world we are a part of now is difficult to accept, unimaginably difficult. I don’t know if I accept everything even now. I don’t know how I can. But acceptance moves past denial, and maybe there’s defiance in that, too.” — @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social The whole planet is now AREA X.

That's Bukowski, and if he could then you damn well can do too.

Drink from the well of yourself and begin again.

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤 We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️ #tdor

Rita Hester

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, I'm thinking of our trans neighbors whose lives were stolen by hate & prejudice. Folks like Rita Hester, a Black trans woman and beloved community member who was killed in the #MA7, and whose murder sparked this important day of recognition.

THEY ARE ADORABLE!!! LOOK! BORBS ADORBS!

Hi, I’m Matthew Seiji Burns. You may know me from such tweets as “They call him Big Hat Logan because he wears a big hat” or “Sam. It’s me, Die-Hardman. Wanted to let you know there's banana bread in the kitchen.” Check out my debut novel, about a guy who has a bad time.

LRT: "Biological men" is also a nonsensical mix of a science term, biological, with something socially-constructed, "men."

Beautiful colors of the fading foliage seen from the tower in Mount Auburn Cemetery, painterly.

Imagine a fascist future where trans folks find hope and fight back

even if/when we make through to 2026/28 it's a temporary win unless we commit to doing Reconstruction For Real This Time

Shepard, picking the Destroy ending:

What does it mean that a work of art has "stood the test of time"? It mostly means people still like it, for the reasons they originally liked it. Why does the Suck Fairy exist? Because tastes change, but also, whole modes of storytelling change. My noozletter: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Homosexuals of Boston! This is tonight!

I accidentally snuck up on five mourning doves just now, so here is my favorite poem I've written with a dove in it. 僕は先ほどにナゲキバトに五羽たまた忍び寄った、だからここはハトの中の収録を僕が書いてある一番好きな詩だよ： ショパン聞く雨降っているハトは鳴く Shopan kiku Ame futte iru Hato wa naku I listen to Chopin It's raining A dove sings #Poetry #Senryu #詩　#川柳

This is tonight! It should be cool.

I could've warned Elon.

Always walk away from bullshit.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I have busted the ghost that was in your hood and which you were probably scared of and screaming Forgive me busting makes me feel good

If you come to the event, I will have a few copies of my chapbook, Matcha and Birds, with me available for sale. This may be the last opportunity to buy physical copies of my chapbook without paying for it to be shipped. My print run is nearly sold out, and I don't intend to order a second run.
