I just finished reading A World Worth Saving by @kylelukoff.bsky.social and it was SOOOO GOOD! I appreciated the nuance and diversity of trans characters, plus it was just an incredibly engaging story. Not at all surprised it was shortlisted for the National Book Award. Highly recommend. #booksky

Just started watching this, and (as someone who was a trans guy in 2003) I’m really digging the trans rep in a show set in 2003.

Less than a month until #DVpit, a pitch event for marginalized creators looking to find an agent & get traditionally published! Here's a reminder of the rules! For more guidelines & info go to dvpit.carrd.co See you all at DVpit on October 8th, 2025! #writersky #booksky

The only ones asking people to change their gender are the ones who oppose transgender care.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Proud to live in MA.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

Denial of an entire group’s very right to exist and participate in civil society is not just “having conversations.”

Life imitating art… 5 years ago I wrote a novella about a #stealth teacher who decides to open up about his past after an elementary student comes out as #transgender. Guess what happened at the beginning of the school year? Curious to see if the ending is same. #writingcommunity #writesky #trans

A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
