Back at my old stomping grounds -- UCSF's infusion center, for a blood transfusion. I'm okay; hemoglobin levels are just low. I'm weirdly nervous though, lol.

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies" What's Title VI? "prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

Another update! My regular oncologist messaged me to basically say those two 'concerns' were actually non-issues. So, uh.. Good news?! Good news. I'm so relieved. 😭

Good news: the radiation seems to have worked. Bad news: the scan showed 2 nodules in my lungs (4mm, 2mm). Too small to know if they're cancerous, so I'll be having a follow up scan in 2-3 months. As you can imagine, I'm less than thrilled. But.. time to try to forget for a few weeks. lol. lmao.

Scan on Friday and then a meeting on April 7 to discuss how everything is looking. Honestly, this waiting period has been the hardest. Not knowing anything and not being able to take any sort of meaningful action in the meantime is driving me up the wall. But at least there are plans on the books.

The Good Place Committee needs to be run out of their jobs, one by one, until none of them are left.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

With everything else going on in the world, it feels silly to whine about something so banal... For the last few months, I've felt on the outs with some of my friends. In one case, I put myself there. On that last one, I've been trying to fix it, and I think it's working out. On the others...

Having my first radiation treatment tomorrow -- and every day for the rest of the week. More than anything, I'm just eager to get it started.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Would love to apply for this but I don't think "I was selected to host recently but had to drop out because cancer" counts as hosting in the last 3 years. Plus.. bleh. Whatever. My situation is what it is. Reposting for those who are eligible.

Now that GDQ is over, here's my call-to-action for everyone: Make the doctor's appointment you've been putting off. Get whatever hasn't felt right checked out. We all donated to and bonded over and championed PCF; now it's time to play our part in early cancer detection.

When I was ~15, I remade the trailer for Mulholland Drive where I played all the parts. Audio only, as it was a mixing exercise. Y'know, with the stellar vocal range I had. Why would anyone do that? What a weird idea. Obviously, I showed no one. idk maybe he would've encouraged that weirdness, lol

Today, I got to use the phrase "mostly embarrassing butt-maladies" and it's things like this that make me wonder how anyone could think language isn't the most beautiful thing on this earth.
