Sure, there is a military dictatorship being attempted and the secret police are in my city snatching people off the street, but I got a lash lift and my brows waxed, so I'm feeling okay right now.

rubber bullets fly by my face. tear gas fills my lungs. a line of federal troops is marching toward me. i fire off an email to my focus group asking what i should do as a baton lands cleanly on my skull.

Last Friday I threw a concert for the TRANSplants Issue 3 Zine Release and it fucking rocked. Love these photos taken by the amazing @victoriascott.bsky.social of a bunch of transsexuals and queers having a good time together. Music by @vivmccall.bsky.social (Pansy) and Zara.

LA needs the national guard sent in to deal with the rioting LAPD

pride month transplants zine release TOMORROW NIGHT!!! you should come!!!

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

I have a short story in this about sissy hypno, porn, and actualization

I started writing

New flash fiction out in Ambrosia Zine. Pick up a copy around Seattle.

Journalists in general lack scientific literacy and are easily distracted by jangling keys narratives. I once took part in a conference laying out the facts of a water rights dispute between states. The reporting ignored the presented evidence in favor of talking points by political appointees.

seriously tho having Nora Broker poetry (among others!!) physically in my hands in the fucking best nora solidarity forever 💕 @elanorjb.bsky.social

Find us in Olympia tomorrow!

yeah thats why there is the classic tale about the bar owner who didnt kick out the nice nazi but instead accomodated his concerns about the other patrons and the bar remained normal and cool and everyone went there forever.

the only way *I* start my day @asterolsen.bsky.social @elanorjb.bsky.social

Power Throuple Representation 🥰🌷

Spent the morning on the TRANSplants budget and good news: we are breaking even! If you want to pump our numbers up, find us at Olympia Zine Fest this Saturday!

I could never understand this until I got to know a couple Dem insiders. They are driven by small stakes personal slights above all else. Similar story for a lot of media personalities. Vacuous narcissists on a vendetta against anyone who blocks them from preening in front of a mirror.

To put this into terms media elites can understand: it's as bad as Columbia students waving Palestinian flags and even worse than a trans woman placing fifth in a race.

A second band has hit the TRANSplants Issue 3 release party (June 6th at Pratt)

TRANSplants Zine has a website! Issue 3 is releasing June 6th! Wow! transplantszine.org

👋 Hi, we’re Unbreaking, a volunteer-run collective working to document our current moment of institutional collapse and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway. We believe this is critical work for building and retaining political agency.
