Hey @asterolsen.bsky.social I got the latest issue of “TRANSplants” in the mail and my daughter absolutely loves it! Thank you!

NFL bsky can you confirm if this happened?

They're saying transplants parties are THE premier trans literature event in the pnw

Had a dream where I had sex with drew brees, but the first 90% was us at a woodser talking about ultimate frisbee and who in the NFL was good at it. Also he told me he was 36 instead of 46 but I let it slide.

first they did transgender for everybody, and i did not speak out, for i was already transgender

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

the american empire doesn't know how to make this anymore. the technology has been lost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cre...

I'm so happy Victoria captured us like this. I only wish she was also in the photo!

i can just drop $10-15 at a time & keep getting things like this in the mail, love it

[waving gun around] One more rejection for this 7k word short story and I'm turning it into a novella! Don't try me, I'll fucking do it! Hands where I can see them!

though i'm loath to ask this question, we are in "people spend money on books" season: have you pre-ordered your copy of Again, Harder yet? some new blurbs!

I'm only interested in influencing you, the pretty girl reading this post. Hi sweetie.

I will vote for whichever candidate fixes my printer

This is today!

I'm a sucker for the lights on Lake Union at night

Do you like terrible women? What about toxic friendships? What if they're trans though? Okay, but what if there are birds? My latest short story, A Crow for Brunch, is out in @unlikely-stories.bsky.social today. Read here: www.unlikelystories.org/content/a-cr...

Please welcome Aster Olsen, who brings us her short fiction “A Crow for Brunch,” on toxic friendships, crows in grates, and how trans women should be dressing at unlikelystories.org/content/a-cr... #fiction #smallpress #litmag

New story out very soon (TM) about a trans woman crashing out and blaming everyone but herself.

that's what I'm saying hell yeah brother

The People's Republic of Cascadia is prepared to trans every government official of Iran and Egypt in response to any provocation. You will play in the pride match and you will like it, or we will be forced to act.

Thanks everyone for the pre-orders! I'm mailing them out over the next few days along with your stickers❤️. Issue 4 Release party is Dec 20th at Pratt with live music!

nice try but i've read enough carl hiaasen, you can't trick me into taking miami politics seriously even when the outcome is good

no you're crying in the coffee shop while writing

I'll be reading poems related to Florida, including some very personal ones

Interesting approach. I myself have a private wetwork team of unmedicated dishonorably discharged Finns to deal with anything below a six star review.

How aphids became the backbone of crop failure

Just found out I won the AVN Literary It Girl Award. No words. Rock hard with gratitude 🥹

t4t? no thanks, i'm t4a* *adult capable of direct communication

Authors will be like I wrote about Florida and it's just Orlando Miami Tampa

Issue 4 quite possibly the last issue for transplants zine. December quite possibly the last reading event. I'm burnt out and need to focus on my own creative practice.

Transgender women have been banned from drinking wine and gossiping due to concerns about safety and fairness

No holiday sale because I pay my writers and artists up front and float the cost of printing BUT if you pre-order NOW I will include a random fun sticker or two! WOW! Imagine getting one of these:

If you want AI to summarize a 3000 word short story you should just end it right now tbh

Reread my earliest self pubbed short stories expecting the worst but you know what, I didn't know anything but I was cooking.

The zine releases Dec 20th at Pratt Fine Arts with live music from Pansy, @vivmccall.bsky.social 's band. Pre-orders will begin to ship out in the next week.

@endoeartha.bsky.social has a retrospectively footnoted speech she gave earlier this year about her struggle to forage a career and pursue her passion of neuroendocrinology research as the right wing anti trans machine ramped up. asterolsen.bigcartel.com/product/tran...

should have went with this one smdh. listening, learning, and i promise to do better

less discourse posting, more birthday thirst trap posting

The right has an explicit goal of driving all transness from public life. Yes individual trans people can attempt to fly under the radar, but this is desperate survival. At some point we blip onto their screen and it is over. We need to take out their radar and surface to air missiles and funding.

They call them law professors because "biggest rubes known to modern science who not only can't see the forest for the trees but see a single tree and cut it down and sharpen it into a spear and use that to attack minorities" is too unwieldy

Reminder that TRANSplants Zine Issue 4 is available for pre-order! This is a limited print run and if past Issues are a predictor, is likely to sell out <3. Really excited about this one! asterolsen.bigcartel.com/product/tran...
