Can we maybe try and talk to Wachowskis into taking a crack at a Jem and the Holograms movie? The 2015 one tried to be “realistic,“ and that is ridiculous. Jem needs the Speed Racer treatment.

Oh also I did get to hold my grandbaby in NYC and that was beautiful and confusing and I want to do it again

At Camp Trans 99 I wore a camo vest every day (because it was the camo vest I wore every day the year I was 17) and wow does my youngest kid look way cooler than I did back then wearing it to orientation at art school. I’m really glad I saved it.

I ordered! And now I get to find out if I’ve once again accidentally forgotten my previous preorder and preordered a second copy! Which at least solves the fights in my multiply trans family over who gets to read things first

if you're trans and you're interested in publishing a print zine on space/place, time, spatiality, etc. now is the time to hit me up

Why, yes, I am a 43 year old transsexual grandmother now. And that grandbaby? Very small. And all the way on the East Coast 😭

It is easy to feel this way but I truly think, for trans writers at least, writing books now is urgent. Write good books about your friends, get them printed, get them widely distributed, get them in the world. There has never before been an opportunity like the one we currently possess to do this.

In a few days I’ll be a 43 year old grandma. I’ve been training… tissues in the purse, hard candy in a bowl. I’m ready. (ps this means I’ll have to come to NYC occasionally because that’s where my granddaughter will be so if you have NYC recommendations pass them on please)

Oh, no, I became 43 and I’m still not fluent in Italian and my nonna and nonno are in their 90s and getting impatient

You people know that “Fire” doesn’t just represent wildfires caused by climate change????…is everyone ok

I’ve been wishing for a @wnba.com team in Portland and for @moviemadness.org to move to my neighborhood and now I’m going to have both.

Now that Trump has passed a bill that provides massive tax cuts for the upper end of income distribution, while cutting critical services that help the poor, I hope everyone understands that local efforts directed at the same is basically a statement that the Trump don’t go far enough.

This post was brought to you by me having an extra ticket to see Clifford at the Hollywood Theatre tonight ;) but instead of going with you, Bluesky, I’m going with my ex husband’s not-quite-wife. Or something. :)

Where does everyone stand on Clifford (the film with Martin Short as a strange child, not the Big Red Dog)?

I made it to the coast for the first time in a few years, with my visiting brother in tow. PNW coast > everywhere for outdoorsy moments.

really can’t stand the “well you’re in New York, you’ll be alright” attitude. I’m not nearly as worried about myself as I am about the young and disadvantaged people that cannot just flee to somewhere a little safer

once again — if you’re one of the fortunate ones in a big blue city you need to start thinking about how your community can handle a big influx of vulnerable, scared newcomers. this is not hypothetical, it is happening now

My older brother is coming to town for possibly the whole summer (we are both sort of new empty nesters). I’m really excited about all the movies&music we can go see together&the parks we can hang out in. I have 7 siblings but never as an adult spent more than a week in the same city as any of them.

Also, let MA be proof that a wealth tax not only didn't cause a mass exodus of millionaires, there are more of them than before the tax was enacted, & it raised about 2 and a half billion dollars in 2023 alone

ALSO, they are NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THEY FUCKING LOVE CITIES.

Here’s a preview of the HITCHCOCK ON FILM screen print we’ll be selling at the screenings this weekend! Created in partnership with local artist Shea Satterlee (@littlesidetable on Instagram), this design features iconic imagery from all of the films featured in our series.

Movie Madness is relocating to Northeast Sandy Boulevard.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

I play for Bridging Voices, the queer+ally youth choir in Portland, OR. We've had to temporarily cease operations due to board restructuring, and we could also use your help in raising money going forward. Grants are drying up and we are in need of assistance. Consider donating or volunteering. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

trimet’s proposed “teal line” that would follow the green line along 205 and then run to pdx is a much better way to address airport traffic imo

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

the biggest issue i have with getting enough clinic escorts is that people burn out and stop coming. we've started doing book recs in the newsletter & social outings off the sidewalk & have been retaining more volunteers, which makes us more effective. "fun" works to make this stuff sustainable.

Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

A big thanks to @wweek.com for covering this year's festival. Get your tickets today at hollywoodtheatre.org/series/tag-q..., we are excited for this chance to be in community with you.

I think if we’re committed to improving our lives the few publications that still hire us to write gotta commission something that even hints at it still feeling really fucking good to be trans

it's been said before but the dividing political line for me is between people who hate these fucking fascists and people who don't. whether you're a normie dem or a hard leftist, if hating these fucking people isn't core to your politics, you're useless. if it is--then yeah, we can work together.

Just wanna make fun cartoons with my friends 💖

Dario Argento’s Italian horror movie PHENOMENA (also known as Creepers) is getting a TV series adaptation from Italy’s Titanus Production, and it's said to "reimagine" the world of Argento’s 1985 horror movie:

Hate self promo , but super proud of T Blockers, a trans hangout/horror film I made when I was 17 w no money that played my dream festivals & is now a SHUDDER exclusive & on Bluray. A personal film that feels scarily more relevant now then when we shot it, word of mouth is everything 🥹

please my friends, if you can afford to buy yourself some little something from an artist or musician you dig, PLEASE DO SO!

We speak with a single intent, hundreds of voices, some carefully nasal, others throaty and abandoned, in eerie and hypnotic synchronicity, "pre-order worthy of the event by vivian blaxell" you are mesmerised, compelled to obey, you click the link, you want this, you tell yourself, you need it...

FWIW, last year, I wrote how Governor Tim Walz offered a welcome templete about how parents of neurodivergent children can embrace and accept them. Now, we're on the cusp of having an anti-vaxxer as HHS Secretary. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Thank you everyone <3 Love you so much 😭 We were offloading footage we just shot and what a remarkable surprise to hit the goal today :3 You are all amazing and I promise we will make the best movie ever to return the favour <3

I believe all Alice's feature films are available on Shudder right now - SO VAM, BAD GIRL BOOGEY, T-BLOCKERS, SATRANIC PANIC, and CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS. Go watch them! 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

Super excited to announce the LGBTQ Case bot! So excited to be working with team at @free.law to provide updates on cases relating the LGBTQ rights! Give the bot a follow! bsky.app/profile/lgbt...

"I would not be here without trans girls" alright make me cry why don't you

I would like to think that Magica Riot's relative success is proof that there is a *diverse* range of interests and tastes in the transfem book market, and that it is a healthy market in that regard. people want transfem books - not just one or two kinds, but a bunch of kinds!

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

Chicago, baby.
