This is story is SO fucking good. Go ahead and read it now. You won't regret it 😉
alright it's here, the short story where I poured all my disappointments in 'hopepunk' as a concept, and tried to write what I thought when I first heard the term, which electrified me with its promise, a promise I found unfulfilled

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

I just found out that cohost is shutting down?! I've been away a little while and I have no idea what happened. Since it's already gone read-only, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to anyone, but I'll be trying to find people on here. And I guess I'll be finding a new home for my long-form posts.
