Oh wow he was defrocked for this.

Something to keep in mind for 2025 Written by James Miller of A Small Fiction

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

hey the ‘thank my driver’ thing is back at amazon, type that into your search bar on the app to give your last delivery driver a $5 tip

Avery and I got an exceedingly helpful hashtag correction on the previous post so we’ve deleted and are reposting, and edited on Instagram as well. Sharing again for anyone who wants to spread these far and wide on socials! Current tally is over 3500 🎉

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware: - the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania - his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir - he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

In my latest newsletter I wrote: "Concern over the existence and safety of trans people in public life had absolutely no impact on this election, and anyone saying otherwise is an asshole." I wanted to share a response I received (CW: anti-trans rhetoric) and how I replied. Zero tolerance policy.

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

Just came back from my first escape room experience. It was awesome! Why did I wait so long???

Just received 36 copies of What Moves the Dead by @tkingfisher.com to teach along with the Fall of the House of Usher by Poe. One of my favorite units of the year in Gothic Literature class!

I wrote to the Tractor Supply board today. Here is what I sent. Even if you've only ever bought one thing there, I encourage you to write, as a customer.

Finished The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. What a fantastic story of love and ambition! Great characters and an intriguing premise. Definitely recommended!

Finished Dig Two Graves by @craigschaefer.bsky.social. Some of my favorite characters in urban fantasy, and one of my very favorite ongoing series. Also, in a moment of weakness, I bought a pack of Red Dragon Bicycles. And one for my sister, who’s also a fan. Schaefer should get a commission.

Finished Lyorn by @stevenbrust.bsky.social. What an entertaining read! Loved the backstage perspective of the musical, and the story and Vlad’s voice were both on point! Vlad’s character development has been so fun to watch!
