Happy #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! I'm Emily Riesbeck. I write books, mostly about or containing women falling in love with each other. While not all my books are about being trans, it is one of the core facets of myself that i draw from.

Rendering a child unconscious and then locking him alone in a cell is inexcusable in any event, much less when he has not been violent
But as a reminder, the precipitating incident here was that a teenager did not want to get up in the morning

Love reading posts like "I don't think I'm really trans. I just feel an inexorable crushing sadness that only relents when I daydream about being a woman, I don't have dysphoria or anything."

Was lucky enough to read an advance copy of Red and the Wolves by Cherry Zong, a beautiful graphic novel retelling of Little Red Riding Hood about loneliness and duty. I really enjoyed how understated this book's first half was.

If you've ever wanted to get into TTRPGs but feel intimidated by the systems, this is especially for you. It's also for you if you want to play a game that feels like Scooby-Doo, X-Files, Buffy, and more!

In the last 3 days, the Supreme Court ruled trans people have (again!) lost access to valid passports, a federal district court legalized bullying against (only!) trans kids, and Cornell University joined the growing number of colleges agreeing to discriminate/ban trans people. When is it enough??

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

i love silksong so much that after nearly 100%ing it casually, i went back and immediately started another playthrough. I didn't intend for it to be a "speed run" but i got through act 1 quickly with minimal extras, so i challenged myself to beat the game with basically zero upgrades. did it!

what childish innocence we once had, that we thought warheads were good. "Can you endure pure citric acid long enough to get to the truly awful watermelon candy underneath?"
