If you see this, post an anime you love.

Why?! (Don’t answer. I know why.)

Bonus points: it’s an album I’m on!

This is so nakedly, transparently evil that I truly don’t understand how other people don’t see it.

My new workplace (a cubicle farm) is a lot noisier than my previous one (my home office). In related news, I remembered everything for my work day today except my nose-cancelling earbuds. 😣

This is what it is to be trans in the US in 2025. One of the few trans people in elected office is targeted by bigots who’ve been given license to violate her dignity and slander her with impunity. This is the world cisgender hate has created.

After watching Grant O'Brien's @dirtylaundryshow.bsky.social short on making a Paper Plane, I decided to try it for myself. A couple of substitutions* later—Campari instead of Aperol, and rye instead of bourbon—and this may be my new favorite cocktail. It's definitely top 10.

I’m not a Catholic anymore—I’m an apostate from the Church, a practicing witch, and queer—but I know enough about the faith to know this is a serious problem for US Catholics. They have to choose: the teachings of the Magisterium and Christ’s vicar on Earth or the ravings of a demented Antichrist.

Listening to my wife tutor my 19-year-old daughter in math is honestly one of the best things to ever happen in my life. 🥰

This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about trans history. I said what I said.

me: Hi! I need some tech support. 🙋‍♀️ Help Desk Person: Of course, sir. What’s your name? me: It’s Tamsin… and I’m not a ”sir,” I just have a husky voice. 💁‍♀️ HDP: [profuse apology followed by six entirely needless gendered honorifics] me: [silently thinking “CAN YOU JUST DON’T THO?”] 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

This is absolutely where I’m at right now. And on that note, goodnight, Bluesky.

La Zona Fantasma is our b-side to "Tomorrow Place," out Friday. It's a reimagined cover of the 1986 classic by Aviador Dro. Proceeds go to Amnesty International in the name of due process, combating ICE, and carceral abolition. Also, you can dance to it, hard. Sound on, y'all.

@seeming.bsky.social have a new album coming out in a month. Their 2020 album THE BIRDWATCHER'S GUIDE TO ATROCITY is one of my favorite Bandcamp purchases ever—h/t to @eruditorumpress.com for suggesting it!—so I previewed the available tracks with high hopes. I was not disappointed.

I don't recall the last time I was this invested in any city's mayoral election.

It's almost time for the next song.

People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better! What is your all-time favorite TV show?

If you’re straight and cis, please read this thread, and the article linked here. If you’re queer… well, as the OP says, this won’t surprise you.

This is heartbreaking. Teen Vogue has done better journalism in the past ten years than WaPo and the NYT combined. I realize that’s not a high bar, but again: TEEN VOGUE. This couldn’t be more obviously a move to silence actual political reporting if they literally renamed them TRUMP’S TEEN VOGUE.

And just to get out in front of things: I know some trans lesbians say shitty things about transhet women. I’ve seen it. But don’t do the exact thing you lament others doing. And anyone who uses my thread as an excuse to be shitty to transhet women is an asshole and needs to shut the fuck up.

Love to see random strangers claiming that “trans lesbians think they’re better than transhet women,” despite having literally never once had this thought in my life—and, in fact, having argued against it on multiple occasions. Precisely what I needed to see another trans woman say today.

Casual reminder as snap benefits are fucked but if you witness someone steal at the store no you didn't Be more like the kid from terminator with this dope ass mullet

Ordinary average everyday office lady.

This is another largely un listened to album. I have no purpose for doing these, so maybe I should use em to point out some of the albums that live in bit more obscurity. Strange vibe on this one, I was angry/sad while working on it and I feel like it shows. Ha.

...oh, hey, Maeðyn. Long time no see. 🥰

Other than having exactly zero aptitudes or interests that would've led by any conceivable route to this being a viable career option, this sounds incredible. I wonder if it's still possible to get a gig as a lighthouse keeper. (NB: All references to the Robert Eggers film will be ignored.)

UGH, okay, FINE. I've showered, dressed, and done my shot. I'm a Good Girl™, goddamn it, and I deserve a medal. 🥇

Current mood: putting off getting in the shower because I'm putting off the hassle of doing my shot, even though I know I'll feel a lot better after I do it. 🤦‍♀️💉

Oh my GOSH, y'all. I just finished reading this, and it's a genuine delight. It's super-hella-cute eggfic, it's an adorably sweet romance, AND it's a love letter to magical girl anime, which means it's practically a guided missile with my name on it. The whole thing is available on ScribbleHub now!

brb changing my bio to “false transsexual”

Quelle fucking surprise.

Wait. This is the same Brianna Wu who attacked trans women and nonbinary people for not being trans the same way she is? Who threw us under the bus and sucked up to TERFs for YEARS? THAT Brianna Wu? Well, congratulations on figuring out what we've all known the whole time, I guess, but, uh... no.

Orange juice, Topo Chico mandarin + lime sparkling water, and vodka. If there weren't already half a dozen (frankly kind of terrible) cocktails already named "Sonic Screwdriver," that's what I'd call this. Instead, I'm just going to sip it and be quietly happy.

I had never even heard of her ~ The Legacy of Audley "Queen Mother" Moore and Her Battlecry for Reparations www.nypl.org/blog/2023/01...

Hey, @moderation.bsky.app, you wanna maybe fix yourself here?

This song will always make me think of my late, beloved friend Vashti, whose fault it also is that I will forever think of gothy dance music as its own sub-genre named “bop bop,” based on this song. 🥰

Good morning, happy Halloween, blessed Samhain (observed), and/or happy Friday. I’m at work with three days of stubble because electrolysis is tomorrow. At least the stubble is light, which is why I need electrolysis, and also makes it harder to see against the ghostly pallor of my skin. 👻

Marked safe from “Browsing Trans Discourse™ on Tumblr” today.

One of my favorite reads. She always makes me think. Also, she’s an absolute sweetheart.

Post a perfect album from the ‘90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Have done, can confirm. 🥰

It is 2016 and trans people on Twitter are arguing about the transsexual label. It is 2019 and trans people on Twitter are arguing about the transsexual label. It is 2022 and trans people on Twitter are arguing about the transsexual label. It is 2025 and trans people on BlueSky are arguing abo...

I'm not saying that the trans community's ongoing issues with The Discourse™ would be solved by a generous application of the phrase "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU APPALLINGLY STUPID SHIT-FUNNEL." I'm just saying, maybe we should try it.

Essentially every straight trans woman I’ve met has reported having difficulty finding community and meeting other het trans women, so if that’s you I want you to know I started a small community specifically for us and our friends and you’re very welcome to join if you want 🩷

I’m home from Philadelphia, very tired and somewhat emotionally fraught. Unsurprisingly, the usual flavors of Discourse™ rolling across my skyline are doing nothing to make me less tired or fraught. I’m going to put on an audiobook and fall asleep to it. Goodnight, beautiful creatures.

Saw @ezrafurman.bsky.social as mentioned earlier. Oh my gods, what an amazing show. 🤩
