Hi! I'm still financially insecure as I continue to search for steady employment, so I'm opening up some commission slots for the first time! Just a few to start, so hop on it if you're interested 💜 ko-fi.com/upandoutcomi...

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

Cis folks, check on your trans friends right now. I don't ever think I've seen this many friends in crisis. It's beyond anything I ever imagined. We're not ok.

We went to a kid-friendly murder mystery tonight and someone brought their baby. 13yo was keeping notes on who he thought the murderer was, and at the bottom of the page it just said BABY, all caps, huge letters, circled and underlined.

My top 3 recommendations for writers of any skill level: 1. Never tell anyone the location of your Writer’s Phylactery. 2. You can just make up words 3. If someone does learn the location of your Writer’s Phylactery, YOU MUST KILL THEM.

I'm in this and I do not like it

When I was a young writer, I received a LOT of rejections. Now, after decades of hard work, I am no longer young.

I'm interested in how trans people develop memory, and potentially the bifurcation of those memories, of a before and and after time. This seems to be exacerbated in older trans women, or women who transitioned at an older age. Something I've noticed about my own memories. #transgender

THIS is Our INSTRUCTION

Trans journalists, particularly ones writing about trans issues, have been pushed out of the industry. It's why I started Assigned Media, and why I'm determined to grow and increase our capabilities. A 🧵 about the "quiet purge" of trans voices, what to expect, and what I intend to do about it.

Now reading:

Finished The Seep by Chana Porter. Such a good book!

Let today’s Capitol Hill bathroom sit-in spark an era of radical defiance. Trans folks refuse to bow to hate and bigotry. We demand dignity and respect. We will fight like our ancestors. We are building with our elders and peers. And trans youth will inherit a better world. 📸: Alexa Wilkinson

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?
