I assume Rav Shizbi is the Rav of Oz in Wicked

Twenty-five days until Janukkah. The year is speeding by.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

Enjoying the Autumnal weather. This half-Irish girl likes it cool and rainy.

Beloved and I went to a cat cafe and played with kittens. I highly recommend the experience; it reduced stress and increased joy.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports. This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The importance & power of self-advocacy; my local indie bookstore (Ballast Book Co) is doing an author event with @seananmcguire.bsky.social, & I emailed them to ask if they'll have an ASL interpreter & they quickly responded to say that they'll "... look into hiring one for the event..." #Deaf #ASL

Had a beautiful time at @geekgirlcon.bsky.social this year! It's my favorite con, as I feel safe, included, and relaxed; definitely a positive environment. My highlights were the Pride & ASL meetups. 🏳️‍🌈🤟 Also, loved the random chats with other nerdy people. 💙 #GeekGirlCon #GGC25 #Deaf #Queer

I just got tickets for Beloved & I to see @seananmcguire.bsky.social on January 10th! This'll be for the new #WaywardChildren book (my fave series). So damned excited & happy about this. <Kermit Flails> If you're local to Bremerton, WA, the details are here: www.eventbrite.com/e/seanan-mcg...
