I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

A blessed Beltane to all! May your work be fruitful, may the summer rise anew, may you all join your unions! Up the May!

anyway when asking yourself about “hard-won female spaces” I think it’s always useful to wonder whether it’s really a freedom to be there or whether - given that separate is never equal - it’s another “place men keep their women” history never really went anywhere.

Storming a Quaker Meeting House with weapons drawn is something that is so abhorrent and unacceptable that I am still struggling to comprehend it tbh.

Dunno who needs to hear this today, but: if the toddler is screaming their fool head off then their airways are clear and they're conscious, and some days that's the best you can do.

I also think we need to put to bed the idea of American individualism. One hero can't save us or lead the movement. And shouldn't because if they can destroy our momentum by eliminating one person? Highly unsafe We're all the leaders of the opposition. We're all in charge. We're all critical.

Once again the time of year where I slap on Beethoven's 6th and plod my way through my American tax return... The whole process somehow feels a measure more odious this time.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I just logged into my author website for the first time since the back-to-back medical crises started... five years ago? Guess it's time to crush the burning shame of unanswered messages and get back to some people.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.” This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.
