New Letter from Julian on my Substack about why patriarchy is terrified of trans people living happy lives. 💌 #transgender #trans #lgbtqia #patriarchy #truthtopower

📝New blog out! 🎲🐉 Continuing my GM Starter Set with thoughts about how to get started if you're new and how to keep getting better if you're not. Subscribe for free if you like nerdy topics like narrative structure in fiction and TTRPGs.

This is all… terrifying. But it’s not predetermined. Dig in. Reach out. Hold fast to all you can gather to your heart and remember our greatest asset is each other.

Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke." School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants. Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people. All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

To my trans and non-binary friends, I see you and you are loved. Nothing Trump says or does will ever change that you are here and that you deserve the right to live your truth.

🎲 🐉 Thursdays are for D&D - and time with friends. Here’s one of the more memorable exchanges from today’s session… I’ll leave the context to your imaginations. 😘 (Meme by one of the other players & shared with permission.) Players like this make being a DM incredibly rewarding. #dnd #ttrpg #dm

The measure to ban trans Representative Zooey Zephyr from using women's restrooms FAILED to pass Montana's House Rules committee. Multiple Republicans voted against it.

Making coffee for my beloved is one of the highlights of my morning. How many times have we done this ritual over 20 years together? ☕️

The things you like to laugh and joke about are very revealing of your sense of humour, which is even more revealing of your true values. It’s never funny when you’re punching down.

If you aren’t hearing people’s pain right now, it’s a very good indicator of who you’re not friends with. That’s a pretty good indicator to me that you’re not my friend, either.
