Baby's first trilogy finally together. 😊

Look at our gal--so freshhh! The majesty, the jewellery, the braids. The authority, the defiance, the gaze. The casual step-on-me energy. Esheme hive, rise--this is our time!

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Okay I wrote about it. lyz.substack.com/p/we-are-tra...

My publisher released four of my novels with new gorgeous covers by the great Yuko Shimizu. They’re calling it the LaValle Quartet though each book stands alone. Just look at these things! They’re in bookstores now. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/LVQ/t...

Boosting once again. I've got a little over a month to go before the procedure and at the moment, I've acquired a few more symptoms that put how many doctors I'd need present up in the air

No more self optimizing. I’m going to get worse. lyz.substack.com/p/im-not-sel...

Motherfucking wind farms…

A state government entity is quoting me a very high price for a public records request. I cannot think of a way to narrow the request without potentially missing newsworthy material. This project is important to me. If anyone would like to help defray the cost: www.bleedingheartland.com/support/

The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.

Iowa is the first state to roll back civil rights protections for trans people and is passing openly hostile legislation that affects the safety of LGBTQ folks. My friend Molly wrote an essay about why she stays despite all of that lyz.substack.com/p/i-dont-wan...

This economic anxiety, this masculine fear, is a story I keep hearing. But what of the Black women most impacted by the economy? Men, even when they are socioeconomically disadvantaged still benefit from the unpaid labor of women. lyz.substack.com/p/i-witness-...

Asked to solve the trolley problem, Murkowski would kill the person on the tracks with her bare hands, set fire to the trolley, poison the switch operator, and end all access to public transit. lyz.substack.com/p/dingus-of-...

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

A teacher uses AI to inspire her students to visualize what they would look if their dreams came true. Yes, this made me tear up. It makes me happy cry watching precious moments like this.
