Yes, exactly. What @lindzmcleod.bsky.social said. Except you’ll find me under ‘Bone-eater Earth’ which was in @unchartedmag.bsky.social.
Super many thanks to @wishusdonna.bsky.social for pulling this book together. It looks wicked!

I am wearing a "some people are trans, get over it" t-shirt, and a man in a cafe just gave me two slices of cheesecake when I only ordered one. I can only assume that, as well as being the morally correct choice, supporting trans people also gets you free cake.

Things I would do to get ICE to leave my state: take in literally ANY of the "violent criminals" they have arrested during raids in my state, and allow them to live in my guest room indefinitely.
Things I would not do: hand over our elections to that cheating fraud Pam Bondi.

The cool thing is that we know that every person out there in this cold is extra demoralizing to ICE and the administration. We fucking hate you so much and we’re prepared to stand outside in temperatures you can’t even fucking fathom to tell you that you suck absolute shit.
