My fiancée and I went down to the NYC city clerk’s office this morning to obtain our marriage license. There were far, far more same-sex couples there than one would expect, like maybe 30% of couples there were gay. All of us hear the ticking clock.

This is a big deal not just because no passport = no international travel. For example, if your passport is expired and/or currently stuck at the State Department because of this nonsense, proving U.S. employment eligibility becomes more complicated.

Had a dream that Jake Gyllenhaal and I were queening out while waiting for a ferry. In the dream world he was an out bisexual and we talked about how freeing it was for him to do Brokeback Mountain lmao

Any time I post about my book, please just assume the "it's a crazy time to be alive, I know a lot of shit is going down, everyone has more important things on their mind" caveat is there but unspoken, I respect you all enough to know you understand this implicitly

don’t wanna get into it but the trans kids thing is very personal to me. if any of my NYC area followers (esp cis ones) aren’t doing anything in about an hour — please go show your support as NYU complies in advance with Trump’s illegal and senseless and sadistic EO

Call me a baby or whatever but I never wanted the bad things he promised he'd do to actually happen to teach his base some kinda lesson as if they're untrained puppies who took a shit in the carpet so their noses must be rubbed in it. EYE have to live my stupid little life in this country, too!

Considerably small compared to everything going on at the moment but I simply cannot drown in this swamp of fascism watching one more person tweet "Let that sink in." I refuse. Stop it.

“Dead is the opposite of gone, Deirdre realizes. Dead is everywhere. And now Mom is too.” Whoosh. This wild story by @kcmeadbrewer.com in @barrelhouse.bsky.social gobbled me up like a tornado. It’s uncanny and nightmarish—reminiscent of David Lynch’s surrealist reimaginings of The Wizard of Oz.

It’s been long enough since @livesinpages.bsky.social and I have hawked Camanchaca by Diego Zúñiga, but I’m pretty sure we’ve forced it into enough people’s hands by now, it can’t be a secret anymore.

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
