Photos online, even this one i’m posting here, don’t do this piece justice. Rounding a corner in the Keith Haring exhibit in Minneapolis last May and suddenly finding myself in the same room as it felt like i’d had the wind knocked out of me. If you ever get a chance to see it irl you gotta take it.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

I am a queer disabled writer who will battle lupus every day for the rest of my life, which could be cut short in the face of the Trump administration. I am also struggling financially. I can only work part-time, and supplement my income with book sales. Except the book sales aren’t coming. (1/2)

Someone said that it was inappropriate and uncouth of me to offer support to trans folks at the ppr, to which I say kindly fuck right off. You'll never get me to stop supporting our most vulnerable and marginalized folks, and especially our trans community.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class. How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally? Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

Forever pissed that I have to be Aware and Informed instead of reading science fiction and fantasy and writing stories. I'm a children's literature critic, not an expert on government! (Not a fan of this timeline. At all.)

Luigi is my favorite Mario bros character. Some people might balk at that and wring their hands, but Luigi is a hero. More people should be like Luigi. The Mario Bros character.

My grandpa turns on the news, they say insipid shit and only tell half the story, I yell at the TV, grandpa says "what's this?" and I fill him in on what I learned on bsky that day. Every. Day. I promise an entire swath of the US has no fucking idea what's happened this week

My existence as - a poor person - a trans person - a nonbinary person - a disabled person - a sex worker - someone with a uterus Is NOT political & its disgusting that it is being treated as such.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.
