2026 was the year that we took our power back from the billionaires & supremacists. The year that we rediscovered the practice of revolutionary & radical love. That we stopped trying to punish ourselves into being better people. 2026 was the year we embraced the end so we could find the beginning.

Twenty-five years after the Vancouver bookstore’s win against Canada Customs, the struggle for the freedom to read isn’t over

Something I almost never talk about bc it seems like no one other than trans women care is that when we talk about being survivors of CSA, abuse, IPV, all the violences...people don't care. Or they think it's funny. Or we're like, "exaggerating." It's not REAL abuse. Like if a REAL woman was abused

"If you were half the king Mufasa was -" "I AM TEN TIMES THE KING MUFASA WAS!!!!!!!!"

The right-wing coalition in America is splintering, and badly. Strategists and cultural workers on the Left in the Global North and beyond should be paying attention - this is an important opportunity.

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Laws that criminalise sex work don’t prevent sex work, they just make it more difficult for sex workers to work safely. #DecrimNow

The Right-wing coalition is splintering, and this is in fact an important opportunity for the Left.

I most identify with Glinda, but I've always had a soft spot for Nessarose

A propos of nothing, I've been trying to watch that rom-com series Nobody Wants This w/ Kristen Bell but keep having to stop bc I'm so disturbed by the rampant sociopathy and psychological abuse that is apparently just a part of straight romantic culture

Honouring the trans women and fems slain by violence used to feel like invoking a lineage of fierce and fabulous ghosts. Right now, it feels hollow, writes @razorfemme.bsky.social

A must read for Transgender Day of Remembrance: I'm sick of writing about dead trans people - @razorfemme.bsky.social xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

I wrote about the exhaustion and dissonance of writing about TDOR for the past 15 years

Last week, Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, two members of the Drug User Liberation Front—were found guilty of drug trafficking charges in the B.C. Supreme Court. The legal battle isn’t over.

On est ici, on est queer, pis ça va pas ben! Le premier volet de la nouvelle chronique de @razorfemme.bsky.social, « La lutte est réelle », «Le secteur traditionnel des soins en santé mentale peut-il protéger ses client·es queer?», est maintenant sur Script : www.script.health/fr/article/p...

We’re here, we’re queer, and we feel pretty bad! @razorfemme.bsky.social’s first instalment of her new column 'The Struggle Is Real', ‘Can the mainstream mental healthcare system protect its queer clients?’ is now live on Script: www.script.health/article/arti...

A couple years ago I decided to never tag or show my husband on socials because of the time that the "gender critical" crowd decided to harass me and tried to get to me by attacking my partner. The worst part of being a public figure is having your loved ones threatened

After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live! No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

I'm teaching an in-person course on conflict transformation and depolarization in activist communities in Toronto in January! Would love to see activists, leaders, organizers come join. Sliding scale spots available :)

I am delighted and honoured to say that my second novel RAKESFALL has won the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction! vajra.me/2025/10/21/r...

DHS is repelling from helicopters into apartment buildings to raid them and zip tie children in the middle of the night while saying "fuck them kids." They're shooting at people on the streets and lying about it. This is a hostile occupying force that is a threat to everyone's safety.

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again. burns-notice.ghost.io/we-cant-live...

No literally this is the thing: the Right has completely captured the media apparatus in an era where that doesn't matter, no matter how much regime loyalist content they put out everyone fucking hates them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

For the last edition of my column DANGEROUS SPACE with @xtramagazine.com I wrote about why it's time for queer communities to say goodbye to cancel culture as we resist the accelerating crackdown on our rights.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

I don’t think people truly understand the ascendency of fascism in this country right now. This is an abhorrent, but not surprising, proposal given the rhetoric and actions of the Trump regime and its far right supporters.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

This is how they ensure political opponents can't escape when they start rounding them up. If you're in a position to leave, you should do so now before they close the door. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

NEW: A timeline of how false “transgender ideology” claims spread in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing. By @hencarnell.bsky.social, @msjpauly.bsky.social, and me: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

1/2 In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo. Including “TRN” the ironsight and a direction broad arrow:

Why not

So how many anonymous attempts to take down trans women, famous and otherwise, in the last month do we have at this point? Enough that it’s reasonable to suggest something dangerous is happening?

“He was asking what he had done wrong for this to happen to him and if the teachers don’t like him,” said his mother Anne. Jake said he was planning to avoid using the toilet at school by limiting the amount he drinks https://bit.ly/3JwjYBT

NEW: With a new first-time translation from Jamie Berrout, I'm delighted to share this 2023 interview with Mariposas Negras cofounder Laura Glover, originally printed in the zine Trans y Fugas. Mariposas Negras is a transfemme sex worker collective on the front lines of Mexican trans activism 🇲🇽

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights

I wrote about revolutionary love, non-dual thinking, and spiritual activism without spiritual bypassing

Since the AI discourse is evergreen: You are losing far more than you gain with AI writing. You are losing your ability to create, to imagine. You are losing valuable skill experience that could improve your work down the line. You are losing community. You are losing marketing opportunities.

Mass revolt from queer authors in the UK after a major LGBTQ+ writing prize longlisted a self-proclaimed TERF. 11 authors and 2 judges have withdrawn from the Polari Prize. One of those withdrawals, that of June Thomas, is newly confirmed by our reporter, @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Read more here:

Crazy making that every day we wake up to more information about millions of ppl being violently slaughtered while the most powerful Empire in the world openly shifts to dictatorial fascism & also there is LITERAL SMOKE FROM THE WORLD BURNING filling the sky & we still have to answer emails

The Animorphs are such a classic and incredibly prescient of the hellscape we now live in.

I need queer people to stop being envious that trans women are the principal rhetorical targets of right-wing anti-trans propaganda.

Tolkien: now we'll know everything about gollum's adventures! Tolkien: all questions will be answered! Barker: hey jirt i got a question for you Barker: why don't you tell us what the blue wizards were doing Tolkien: NO FUCK YOU NEVER

Tolkien: cuz people are always asking, what was gollum up to Brian Jacques: [squeaking] was he going to feasts Tolkien: no, see, he was forgetting the taste of bread, actually Jacques: Jacques: [squeaking] oh Jacques: [squeaking] i wanted to see some feasts

It's staggeringly obvious that a major reason so many queers are So Triggered by recent revelations abt Laverne Cox's dating life is unresolved self-loathing & shame about their own erotic lives. 1/5

This is going to be a generational destruction of human capital in service to the rich. They are intentionally destroying the markets for white collar skilled labor in order to depreciate wages in a Khmer Rouge-esque fantasy of returning to industrialization. They want to enslave you, in short.

thank you, muckraking journalists of the bari weiss tribune, for exposing the awesome stuff zohran mamdani has tweeted about like abolishing medical bills and seizing the property of millionaires

An allegorical short story about being a trans woman public figure "he Goddess knows that what you reap, you sow. We made her what she is now, and we made what’s coming next. And someday we’ll all tremble before the future we’ve chosen to create."
