True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

If you want transfem lesbian romantasy, I think in many ways Flower of the Underworld by @ciricegray.bsky.social will have exactly what you want: a humble priestess, through devotion and courage, catches the attention of gods and pilots. Available as part of this bundle! itch.io/b/2877/monst...

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Republicans will believe in original sin but not that they have any personal responsibility for the immoral evils they perpetuate and have directly benefited from.

Funny, how the people 'defending women' from trans women all happen to be Nazis who think women shouldn't be in any positions of power, or get equal pay. Who have demanded an end to child vaccinations, disease research, history lessons. Who have demanded historical women be removed from exhibits.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

The old site of Comptons Cafeteria was made a historical site! This was a very very important event, we wouldn't have Stonewall without this. The tenderloin district was a queer district and they FUCKING RIOTED when repressed, and we need that energy. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl

Republicans: Vote for us because - WE WILL GIVE YOU PRIVILEGE AND CRUSH THE MINORITIES YOU HATE Democrats: Vote for us because - WE WILL KEEP THINGS RUNNING SLOWLY DOWNHILL AND FLAIL POWERLESSLY WHILE SHRUGGING. @aoc.bsky.social they literally just tried this??? how are they this stupid??

I took this picture a couple of days ago but saved it because I knew that despite traveling, a cat picture would probably be needed this weekend.

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

I wonder what the hell the transwoman working for the heritage foundation thinks about ....fucking ANYTHING. I am honestly curious. Does she know other queers? Is she part of the community? Does she look at Jenner and go 'thats my idol'? Does she think this wave of genocide is okay?

I dunno, if I was living in a polity where a bunch of ruffians led by shady men who blurred the lines between politics, business, and the mob, suddenly occupied key loci of the state's power, I'd probably say "the fuck is Lord Yoshinobu waiting for, sitting on his ass in Nijo Castle like that?"

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is a country full of people who trip over themselves to fantasize about being one of the people who wouldn't have obeyed Nazi laws, yet cannot bring themselves to say "no" to absurd directives of dubious legality. They are doing now what they would have done then. And it sucks!

In the eyes of the right wing, everything justifies anti-Black racist violence, and nothing justifies consequences for white people for our racism, and that's because Wilhoit was right.
