Here’s the whole sad, sordid history of someone I once revered as a queer icon’s descent into TERF-dom. So much for “completely bowing out of this conversation.” You can join the pile with Morrissey and J.K.: art once very dear to me that is now forever marred by the artist’s ugliness.

I don’t know why I’ve had a sudden urge to pull out my old Chumbawamba records lately (and no, I don’t mean Tubthumping).

The @qtlibrary.org is continuing our end-of-year campaign, “From Seed to Shelf” — any amount, large or small, will help us reach our $100,000 goal. And if you want to help in other ways, spread the word or reach out to me for ways you can volunteer!

If the federal government is going to continue illegally withholding funds, I think it’s time the blue states stop paying federal taxes. You won’t give us our allocated funds? Fine. We’ll just keep our own, thank you.

I think I just found a new time sink. I mean, I’ve made my own fictional subway maps before, and now to do it with actual population data? I can’t wait to try it out! #subwaybuilder

Hey @fenwayhealth.bsky.social, I know you’re in a tough position federal funding–wise, but ending gender-affirming care for trans youth can’t be the only solution.

Under pressure from the Trump administration, hospitals and clinics across the country have stopped offering minors care such as puberty blockers and hormones that aid gender transition. Now at least ...

The QT Library (where I volunteer) has just kicked off our annual campaign. You can help in many ways: donating, volunteering, spreading the word, coming to events... If you have questions, I'm happy to answer! (And stay tuned for more — I have something up my sleeve for later in the campaign!)
🌱 A small seed is capable of turning into a beautiful garden. Likewise, from the simple idea of liberation and hope, QT Library has sprung up.

Introducing From Seed to Shelf: the QT Library's annual campaign! Donate, volunteer, RSVP... help us grow today: https://loom.ly/MRSIouU

We have 3,000~ books to recommend, but what would you have the LQBTQIA+ community enjoy?
This is LGBTQ+ History Month, and I urge my followers who are LGBTQ+ (or just curious) to dive into one thing--a movie, novel, TV show--from your childhood or before. Look at an older gay work as something other than a relic or an error. You'll be rewarded. Your world, your SELF, will get bigger. >

FUN FACT: It takes a lot of space to store around 2,500 books. 🫠

We quickly outgrew our current storage space for our LGBTQIA+ book collection. Thankfully, we were able to find a much bigger space just down the hall! Now we can admire the potential of our little library! 😍

This says less about the quality of service in Boston and more about the sad state of public transit in the US in general. (Then again, right now it’s “the sad state of [fill in the blank] in the US”.)
