This USA Today 2025 retrospective is how America will be remembered forever. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

First the books, second the shirts

😢 first big event after coming out. Couldn’t be myself. Who cares? I do. Can I do anything? I don’t know. Asked friends … no response yet. Expecting too much? Who knows. Fuck fuck fuck.

Fuck! Had the chance and didn’t. Fuck me.

Moment of zen: laundry done and basket is empty. Never lasts long but worth it for right now!

Reading A/S/L by @jeannethornton.bsky.social. Yet another amazing book from an amazing author. Only 20% in and I’m just swept up in it. I wish I’d have had this book when I was young. 🩷

War criminals always want a free ride.

Planning can lead to sadness

Keep buying real books. They won’t have to burn them if they can just delete the digital copies.

With temperatures dropping and snow in the forecast, New Yorkers struggling to afford the rising cost of heat can now apply for assistance from the HEAP program. Learn more about eligibility and apply here: a069-access.nyc.gov/accesshra/

Oh dear goddess, stop! LittlePuss pre-orders are my kryptonite. Just pre-ordered Missed Connections with Tall Girls by Gwen Aube. All hail LittlePuss Press!

I just pre-ordered this! Trust me, you can never go wrong with anything published by LittlePuss Press. 🩷

Just ordered! Can’t wait. 🩷

I am a bad person. I looked at my “to be read” pile and then chose the 3 new books that i just bought on Friday to read today (2 poetry collections, one small book essay).

“Shortly after midnight on Sept. 30, some 300 agents from Border Patrol, the FBI and other agencies stormed the 130-unit apartment complex. SWAT teams rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades.“

wait, are you telling me the NYTimes possessed news-worthy evidence that it suppressed in favor of a different narrative that was more preferable to their editors?!? 😲 /s 🧵

So done with Washington post. Bezos and his editorial board have turned an amazing paper into an administration mouthpiece. Pravda on the Potomac. I’ve known this for over 20 years but finally enough is enough. Apps deleted.

‘Twas a really hard day… started so well too. Fuck

America’s Modern Gestapo. Fuck ICE. They will be held accountable by law after the fall of this dictatorship: ICE facing fierce backlash after video apparently shows unconscious man clutching child during arrest - The Guardian apple.news/ATAKBI8NxRrC...

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

It’s Transgender Parent Day! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🩷  Trans parents and caregivers show us every day what it means to love deeply and authentically. Today and every day we honor your strength, courage, and resilience. Read Thomas' take on parenthood as a trans man: tinyurl.com/bdd6w79c    

Come on blue jays!

Yes! Go Blue Jays! This Rochester girl is cheering you on!

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead. Her death was ruled a suicide. But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Trump is extorting his own Justice Department for $230 million in taxpayer funds. He refuses to open the government or lower health care costs — but he's eager to steal YOUR money to enrich himself. Unprecedented, unfathomable corruption.

Way to go Toronto!!!!

What better metaphor for the Trump dictatorship’s attacks on American democracy, the law and US citizens than the demolition going on at the White House East Wing to build his $250 million homage to his ego. He is literally destroying the White House.

Their efforts to terrorize me only embolden me.

What a powerful quote from Volatile Memory by Seth Haddon: “You were thinking about your body: about the unique pain of being divorced from it and yet confined to it.”

This is one of the best ads I’ve ever seen and it so improved my Monday. Yes, people can stand up for rights for everyone! Thanks for this reporting, Erin!

Sophie in T-Blockers. Totally me. Amazing flick. Helps me keep whole & happy. I smile because I see myself.

Trump will never win Nobel Peace Price. He tried to profit off Israeli ethnic cleansing in Gaza to establish Trumpistan & cheered on Israeli genocide in Palestine. He’s at the forefront of an ongoing trans cultural and physical genoicde. And ethnically cleansing the US of non white cis het people.

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)

Wow, powerful read. How a 1977 Czech Writers’ Manifesto Applies to the Stark Realities of America in 2025 lithub.com/how-a-czech-...

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

now that the news is official: some thoughts on Bari Weiss taking over at CBS News, and what it means that the Free Press—a publication that never apologizes or corrects itself when its "reporting" is ripped to shreds—is touted as a needed dose of "trust and integrity" slate.com/technology/2...

“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

Congrats! A worthy win. I loved this collection.

Randomly came out to a lesbian couple and their parents. Was so chill and perhaps one of the happiest moments I’ve experienced. Just like nothing … but everything. 🩷

When Trump’s Reich falls, these people must be held accountable. Be it 30 days from now or 30 years: Treasury Department proposes Trump coin to mark 250th anniversary of U.S. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Fuck ICE and fuck Tim Cook for helping them.

Dystopian, fascist, fuckers.

Why is every step forward met with two steps backwards?

ICE = Gestapo. Full stop.

Remembering John Coltrane on his birthday 🎂 📷 Lee Friedlander, 1960 "John was like a visitor to this planet. He came in peace and he left in peace; but during his time here, he kept trying to reach new levels of awareness, of peace, of spirituality." - Albert Ayler

When Trump falls, as all dictators fall, all those who aligned themselves with him will bear responsibility. Their legacy as well as their children’s and grandchildren’s names will be besmirched. History looks poorly on dictators.
