6/27/25 is it even trans pride if you don’t back up and squat over the urinal in the mens room?

friendly reminder to myself and everyone who may want to be seen and/or heard: Columbia-fucking-Records shut down the recording that housed Leonard Cohen’s “hallelujah”

what a terrific book to stumble on in a time when it seems so many people believe just knowing the dangers Orwell warned us of would inoculate us from them. New postcard drop 🛻💌📬 at www.word-kink.com

FULL COURT PRESS! LETS GOOOOOOOO! And thanks to everyone who contacted the AG’s office yesterday. 🙏🏻🥰😘

On transgender healthcare: "Medical transition is not something people are free to choose but something that has to be subject to incredibly strict, conservative investigation and assessment." from:

I just added a bookmark folder to my browser tab with the email contact forms for my congressfolks so its easier every day to send them little love notes. to be clear, I don’t think the system is working but I’m still trying

washington state @governorferguson.bsky.social needs to get onboard here!!

This week while I’m forging relationships with local legislatures, I’m focusing on “little treats” and trying to figure out what, besides freedom bodily autonomy for everyone, brings me joy Yesterday I indulged in a Bubble Tea Today I’m timing my grocery trip to allow a stop for Masala Chai

QUICK ACTION FOR WA TRANS PPL NOW: let’s flood the WA AG office to let Nick Brown’s team we care that the Sea Children’s Hospital has already canceled gender affirming care right here in our “blue” state. Trans people need every support now! use this form: fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhand...

Read, share, act.

We cannot go back. Depictions like this one can be useful in recognizing how far the LGBTQ2SIA+ community has come toward liberation. May we use this backward, momentum-gathering swing to move ever forward. Go to www.word-kink.com for the full postcard from my trip through Queer by Burroughs

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

We need now, more than ever, a grounded solidarity with ourselves and each other.

Real Lives. Real Conversations countering Real Bullshit.

I’m always looking for new ideas and liberated ways of being I haven’t learned yet. New postcard drop at www.word-kink.com

Who, like me, needs to take a small piece of action today? Every little bit counts. @transequality.bsky.social

Shout out to all the businesses offering gestures of solidarity. THANK YOU.

Imagine being out in 1959!!! Revisiting the film Capote was thought-provoking inspiration for holding complexities and living outside of the lines.

It’s taken my whole life to get here, to gather the strength to believe in myself. And I keep gathering.

Meta’s changes are dangerous for our community. Online hate can escalate to threats to our safety. Here’s what you need to know: hrc.im/meta

this little gem arrived from @tenderheartpress.bsky.social by USPS today- I’m excited to hang #OceanVuong ‘s beautiful reminder in my office. #queer #transhealthcaresaveslives

Lord, make me a channel of disturbance. Where there is apathy, let me provoke. Where there is compliance, let me bring questioning. Where there is silence, may I be a voice. Where there is too much comfort and too little action, grant me disruption. —Alan Paton

in lieu of checking my (now deleted) IG this am, I set a timer and sat in quiet meditation for 20 minutes. #instantimprovement

I needed a bestie to not brightside my shitty fucking day and to sit in my goddamned underpants after I read Care Work and before I read read Mutual Aid and be grateful people like Samantha Fucking Irby exist. www.word-kink.com

I’m closing down my FB & IG accounts today with clarity that my belonging, connection, survival, success, and joy are intrinsically linked to humanity.

Enjoy the last seven days of the US as we knew it. Not saying it was perfect or anything, but it is about to go off the rails.

We need to build skills and increase capacities in order to be the proficient community caregivers we know we can be. Piepzna-Samarasinha’s thought-provoking work can help us to excavate any rugged (toxic) individualism we may have adopted, and rebuild our brains with collective care in mind.

wouldn’t a mass exodus of meta accounts be awesome right now?

Editing the Overview of my book proposal to reflect the impacts of Nov 4 on Trans Civil Rights will require an energy I don’t have today. Instead I submitted a triptych of flash CNF to Beaver Magazine.

Joined The Author’s Guild this morning…I’m following breadcrumbs. Stepping stones are placing themselves under my feet as I go.

Offering gratitude for the Hugo House Works In Progress monthly open mic. I’m reading “The Camera’s Needs” tonight. In short, it is a vignette about prioritizing a commercial photo shoot over my own needs.
