Almost breathlessly finished The Hades Calculus this weekend; I don't want it to end. I don't know whether the authors @benjanun.bsky.social & @devi.bsky.social know or care anything about astrology, but for all you who do: this is THE most Venus in Scorpio coded thing I have EVER read. So seen. 🥵❤️‍🔥🦂

Part of the accessible route was under construction, so we had to wear hard hats for about 30 seconds as we passed through it, and that was the coolest part of the whole visit. (I'm not super into sea life. I mean, I care & want it to be protected, of course, I just don't have a special connection.)

Going to the aquarium is like running a gauntlet of things I absolutely dread, but what can I say, I'm a warrior for the ones I love. Besides, it's Mars in 🦀, and we had to squeeze in one last visit before my Pisces child, who identifies as a mermaid, turns 5 and can no longer get in for free.

Please help @sereneblossom.gay, a Black trans woman, survive unemployment. Transmisogynoir makes it hell to get a job and it's still Black History Month. ko-fi.com/silvaria_ser...

You can say you "care" by doing the trans version of "all lives matter" all you want, but it's more clear than you probably think it is when your tangible support only goes to white trans folks with name recognition or people in your own personal social circles.

A Black trans man was tortured & killed by a group of white people. A brown trans woman I respect is being driven off this platform by harassment and abuse. It's a hard time to be trans – but, as ever, it's white supremacy that's deadly. Caring only about white queers IS Nazi shit. Fix YOUR hearts.

I'm reading this right now and I'm sucked in so hard; absolutely enchanted; but also it puts me in the slightly weird (not bad) state of feeling like I want to switch genders AND the gender I'm attracted to while I'm reading it (making me exactly as gay as I am now but either less trans, or extra).

My primary motivation to write 1. I need to, to be alive 2. To find out things 3. It's the only relief from everything else that isn't writing

I keep saying this but... if you live in a big city and want to fight fascism, questioning what your mayor and cops are doing to unhoused people is an *excellent* start. Criminalizing people who have nothing is how nice urban liberals do fascism.

Even when I'm sick there's nothing easier than writing. It's the easiest thing I've ever done or will do. Second easiest is breathing. What's *hard* is that I blink, a day's gone by, it's time to pick up my kids from school & nobody has done the dishes, or anything else. None of the hard things.
