You can read my short story, The Care of Corals, in A New Session Issue 4 now on the world wide web.

My friend took these lovely photos on film over the winter holidays when I was in Florida ❤️

A touching speech about the Olympics being for all, regardless of any category, only moderately undercut by the Olympics own forthcoming outright ban on trans women "to protect women's sports"

Crazy how getting good strap can fix anything

I submitted something really normal to this, I assure you.

"Almost there, Twink" - Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift

So many artists and writers are well grounded in a long lineage of other artists and writers, deep thinkers and scholars, and meanwhile I'm like here is a half remembered dream from when I accidentally took 400 mg of progesterone is this anything

Priory of the orange tree more like long ass book of the lesbians terrified of fucking Anyway it was okay

Rip to one of the best to ever do it

Talking like a masc lesbian with bad strap game who calls you problematic for establishing boundaries while being in Congress is wild

Sale ends Saturday. I have about 15 copies left.

They took this idea from Performance Review by Aster Olsen

i think anyone still clinging to the delusion that elections alone can solve these problems simply will not ever be a useful ally

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

There's always only been one solution to stopping fascists

i’m not particularly attached to “abolish ICE” as a slogan but as a policy it’s mandatory

Very cool that Congress just renewed ICE's budget with absolutely zero concessions

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

I think I'm just going to start leaving my novella in neighborhood mini libraries. Gotta get rid of them somehow.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Did you send yourself a fake letter from the FBI? Is this life real? Are you taking a deep breath? Are you who you think you are? Are you letting go? Are you being a good girl? asterolsen.bigcartel.com/product/perf...

Came across the term "leftwing deadbeat" and I think it's an apt description for the type of person who devotes their effort to scolding and posting and generally positioning themselves as a better leftist instead of building. organizing.work/2020/05/the-...

On sale until the end of the month!

sometimes being a trans writer is all about being the only she/her in a room full of they/thems

The next TRANSplants Zine will be a full size magazine with articles, quizzes, bits, and more. We even did a photo shoot. Get ready for Cosmopolitran.

This is tough competition with scolding people for saying rest in power after the state execution of Renee Good for terminal cointelpro mindset disease olympics

this review got me to read performance review by aster olsen which i really enjoyed, thank you!

On sale until the end of the month!

The anti-DEI bullshit has always been simple racism barely even repackaged. Erasing Dr. Kings legacy was always one of the goals. We pretend that the segregationists lost. But any defeat was temporary and they currently control all three branches of government.

If @defector.com wants to start an automotive desk (they should!), Vicki must be the first choice.

imo it's pollyanna-ish to believe that the general political situation--the trump regime writ large--unwinds peacefully. the big political project of opposition should be building the infrastructure and installing leaders who could actually win the inevitable standoff we're careening towards

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

The government's official position is that the execution of American citizens is the expected and desired result of ICE training and is exemplary procedure, in case you think calls to abolish ICE and DHS are too extreme.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

Videos of the shooting do not show the woman attacking anyone.

@404media.co laying out DHS' blatant lies, which is exactly what all media should call them. "DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. The Hyundai was already turning to the right away from the officers when the one who allegedly feared for his life fired the shots." www.404media.co/dhs-is-lying...

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” Renee Nicole Good, 37, lived in the Twin Cities with her partner.

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

this photo is getting a round of appreciation (thank you @utopia-defer.red 🥰) so it’s worth mentioning it’s actually the cover image of @asterolsen.bsky.social’s newest TRANSplants zine!!! @bumunculousjones.bsky.social did the awesome art overlay for it, one of my favorite collabs I’ve ever done!
