Same!

It's that time again. open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

If any of my friends wrote cutsey mea culpa posts about how they’re just so “embarrassed” to be married to men, I would ask them to give me back the money I spent going to their weddings.

Finally, a face reveal. I figure my profile’s better than nothing. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Sadly, Batman has never called me, but oh well. Now on Substack! You might have read this before, but I've spruced it up a bit. open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

"But WHY does Gaston use antlers in all of his decorating?" -the Disney people, probably

Workers should own the means of production and that’s why I support unrestricted abortion access

My mood lately. (I might make into a sticker if y'all want?)

*shouts* EVEN AS A JOKE

New on Substack. A tough watch, but I can't stop thinking about it open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

Bugs walks into every room like 'i could fuck everyone in here if I chose to'

… and he SERVED ✨

Was Dark Shadows pitched as Peyton Place with vampires?

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

That time again

Thank you for being here, animals.

If you joke about Stephen Miller killing sex workers when he’s mad then you have more in common with him than you think.

If you work for ICE, don't call me.

Your regular reminder that Progressives INVENTED sex work prohibition, in the late 19th century, and still support it today using the same tactics of agency negation, infantilization, and we-know-betterism. They are and always have been the allies of religious nuts in this.

You know my high school reunion went fine because I told only one person, "the universe is indifferent"

Most of this I wrote (and first published) five years ago. There will be a followup. open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

The Epstein case is a really important illustration of why erotic professionals deserve full legal rights and workplace protections. Epstein and his clients were able to victimize so many girls and women because the victims risked imprisonment if they told police about his crimes.

Ten years in prison for tipping a cam model to masturbate. The Crime and Policing Bill is working overtime to re-criminalize sex work ... which I guess will give them crime and more funds for policing.

Your semi-annual reminder that the best way to actually honor deceased veterans is to stop making so damned many of them.

Sex worker doesn't work as a joke because it's an inherently humanizing term, unlike hooker or prostitute.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Somebody asked me if I've been reading anything exciting lately, and all I could think to say was Narrow Rooms by James Purdy, so that guy's got a wild ride ahead of him.

Reminder you can use this image any time they try to show you ai slop

Reading transgressive queer horror fiction to show my support for representation while also shaking my head to show that I disapprove of transgressive queer horror fiction

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

We did it for you Dick Cheney

Reposted from my old blog. An oldie, but a goodie. substack.com/@aprilwould/...

New York just elected a mayor who supports trans people, unions, and sex workers. I have nothing witty to say. I’m happy.

I hope everyone on Mamdani’s campaign team gets this printed on commemorative t-shirts

Zohran literally just quoted Spider-man (2002) and I am here for it 😊

THATS FUCKING RIGHT NEW YORK CITY BABY

Mamdani just explicitly shouted out the trans community in his victory speech in saying that NYC stands with them

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

“Certain vague and strange sensations visited me in my sleep. The prevailing one was of that pleasant, peculiar cold thrill we feel while bathing, when we move against the current of a river." -Carmilla, JS Le Fanu Happy Halloween!

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

I should be forbidden from waking up early because now I'm just blasting the Jekyll & Hyde soundtrack

the idea of antifa paying protesters is so funny. if i wanted to get paid to destroy the government i’d run for congress

Everything makes sense now.
