I made this little illustration to celebrate The Magic Fish making back its advance way sooner than I expected and its Harvey Award, and I’m still so grateful to every person who advocated for this queer book.

It feels like there's constant never ending news cycles of companies that were bought by venture capital, saddled with massive debt because the new owners took out absurd loans in its name, then it goes bankrupt

The federal government is methodically hunting and rooting out LGBTQIA+ people from service (with the help of alt right trolls) and this is the best NYT could muster. It’s pathetic and dangerous.

A very pleasant surprise after a VERY long work day. @restingdinoface.bsky.social 's newest book, When the Earth was Green. Trans folks are artists, teachers, scientists, athletes, politicians, bakers, and almost anything else you can think of. Trans people are people. We make the world better.

I hope it's abundantly clear that I strongly disagree with this sentiment, and that I'm only citing it to spend half the essay, essentially, lighting up Ross Douthat. Like, I hope that's obvious, people.

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud". Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

The problem with reading books set in a place you know is sometimes you’ll get jump-scared by an image of the Chinese bakery you are lunch at one a week for years and that’s been closed for over 20 years and you end up nostalgic and hungry for this thing that you can’t ever have again

"He cannot figure out who at USAID is now overseeing or processing the contract, or get confirmation that USAID wants it completed." The contract is for a kind of food paste that, unlike most food, is safe to eat for kids with really serious malnutrition. I.e., kids who are starving to death.

She bought her husband’s freedom from Buchenwald and escaped to Shanghai pregnant, where she rode out the war and eventually moved to NYC where she owned a landmark knitting shop in Queens and ate lots of dark chocolate. What an incredible life.

In Canada, this is worth reading in light of Pierre Poilievre only taking English-languages questions the other day from The Rebel and a few other right-wing pretend media, whom he wants to fund if he is Prime Minister.

Hey, "liberals", get the fuck away from Bill Maher. This guy is, literally, what shithead conservatives claim liberals are. He's a shithead to anybody with a religion or spirituality. He's one of those "be trans, but it's just common sense that you shouldn't be part of society" liberals.

Musk is one of the worst humans alive, doing unbelievable damage to the values of democracy, equality and freedom, and inflicting misery on millions. He is a national security threat. The Ontario government should cancel its contract with Starlink. But we don't revoke Canadians' citizenship.

I regret to inform you that it's one of his favorite songs, that many folks in his base use it specifically to rally under the MAGA banner, and that as far as they're concerned, "this is the music of a people who will not be slaves again" is railing against the power of Democrats and Woke/PC/DEI.

I liked that this post talked about the value of "inefficiency" in tasks like summarizing. How the time we spend thinking about something while summarizing it has an ancillary function, and how "efficiency" takes away from time spent on things. we need to spend time on things to think through them

Over on X, Chris Rufo is out with a series of leaked internal chats between trans intelligence analysts at NSA, where they talked about things like coming out, bottom surgery, and their sex lives. So yeah, employees should be afraid of things like that even if they’re not fired.
