Friends! I bring good news of the world to come!! My novel is coming out May 19, 2026. And it is available for pre-order now! Either at your local bookstore or at the link below!

Ever since I lost my dad a month ago I just can't stop thinking about him and crying. Listening to his itunes playlist on his phone helps, makes me smile. I always loved how my dad was not a Prince fan but the only song he loved from Prince that he has on his playlist is "Baby, I'm A Star." ✨

Just saw Wicked: For Good. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It had major pacing and plotting issues that sucked the energy and concentration out of the whole thing, and it was emotionally stifling. To sum it up for me anyway, I was underwhelmed, but at least I saw it.

I think we should normalize telling our friends that we love them more. there are many different kinds of love other than romantic. it also feels nice to say it and to hear it ❤️

if u don't know SWITCHED-ON BACH is insane because the Moog synth is monophonic. meaning every single note of every single chord in every song had to be overdubbed separately. she had to be extremely precise & meticulous to make that album work

I accidentally set my toaster on fire at 2am last night and honestly that feels like the vibe this week is going for.

i feel like i'm the only one that's not connecting with rosalia's LUX. It's not that I didn't like it, but it's being treated as this mind-blowing life-changing experience and I'm just not hearing/feeling that at all.

another week, oh god another week

15 days later and I still can't believe I lost my dad so quick and suddenly, i'm just stunned. I miss my daddy so much beyond words can ever explain.

I lost my daddy to a sudden and shocking heart attack yesterday. I'm shattered. He was my best friend in the whole world.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Imagine if trans publishing could be a job instead of a vocation

there is a reason why I cannot pay myself to publish books even though we have an audience that wants them and it is because the margins are miniscule

You know what else should be more expensive? Books!

look i’m just gonna say it, the nytmag article about women taking testosterone activated everyone’s latent misogyny. you all need to shut the fuck up and stop scolding women for wanting their sex drive back or because they fuck men and you’re assuming their husbands are losers

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Vera Drew visited the Criterion Closet a year ago and there’s no video of her talking about the movies she picked?

Walkin' In Memphis Nine in the Afternoon Ain't No Sunshine Rehab recent addition: Angel From Montgomery

bizarre love triangle, criminal, semicharmed life

Anyway this is my appeal, once again, that if you ever have an interesting take or critique of a trans book you read, WRITE IT DOWN. Make a free blog and publish it! It's a desert out here, and the only way to become a critic is to just start doing it. Start now. Start yesterday.

there is dignity in just being it is ok to be

At an industry thing for LittlePuss and was chatting about Gendertrash with ppl, expressing amazement it's been moving the numbers it has been (which I am still amazed by). It was then in real-time I realized in addition to everything else we did print a book with two hot girls kissing on the cover

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

being trans is not bourgeois. everyone i know and hold any respect for is broke as shit. if they have anything nice they broke the law for it. there's nothing to argue here

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

It's time for tradpub romance to let go of the cartoon book covers. we get it.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you." - Miss Major, 2023 💔

Miss Major loved us. She did so much for us. Now she can rest.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

Rest in power, Miss Major. www.advocate.com/news/miss-ma...

“It is with profound sadness that House of gg announces the passing of our beloved leader & revolutionary figure in the TLGBQ liberation movement, Miss Major Giffin-Gracy. Miss Major, 78, passed away ... in the comfort of her home & surrounded by loved ones in Little Rock, Arkansas,” her team wrote.

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work. Rest in peace 🖤

Happy Indigenous People's Day and a very merry maybe-maybe-not day off

put trans women in your fiction. don’t be a fucking coward.

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of! Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

This is one of the reasons I've started writing a review of every book I read - to maintain some of my thoughts for posterity. I'm a terrible notetaker unfortunately. I also have a spreadsheet of every transfemme book I've ever read, though it's usually a solid few weeks behind my current reading.

NEW 📗! PERSONA by Aoife Josie Clements (@ravineangel.bsky.social) In which a trans woman discovers porn of herself she has no memory of making, only to find herself led to an unimaginably deeper evil "The year's great work of literary horror." —Gretchen Felker-Martin (@scumbelievable.bsky.social)

the return of conversion therapy is incredibly depressing

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

I'm revisiting an old favorite tomorrow for my horror column with a lightly personal essay on MAY, which is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel

Honey, look at the gorgeous new edition of one of my favorite books, yes, JACK THE MODERNIST by Robert Gluck with those lovely ladies lounging on the mesmerizing cover, yes, it's stunning!!👠🔥 Out on October 28th from @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

we don't need cis people making art about how trans women are weird little freaks, that's our job.

Awaiting my flight out of New York to Lisbon. Portugal tour starts tomorrow!

or used to be on social media but aren't anymore for reasons 💔

I'm too fucking tired to debunk every stupid thing that Ryan Murphy said about Christine Jorgensen or how the public response to Ed Gein was catastrophic to the the perception of trans people so I'll just point to my book. We covered all of it. bookshop.org/p/books/corp...
