This stanza made me cackle. In a collection that is beautiful and difficult and complex, the hilarity is just *perfection* 🤌

The black marker was scented of unholy licorice, which I think really elevates the entire presentation.

While doodling this, a maga hat wearing a "we rise by lifting each other up" shirt walked by and I just...I just can't.

Did you know that we as trans people don't have to redo Gender Wars shit? The dudes rock, the dolls rock, the theys rock. The only important distinction right now is are you cool or are you a cop.

The best thing you can give your mom is resistance. She taught you Nazis were bad.

Listening to TJ Klune speak and the moment they said, "J K Rowling Sucks. Ass.," the whole room errupted in whoops and cheers and if it wasn't just a damned delightful and heartwarming moment. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

🧵Update: In Worcester, MA, ICE dragged a mother away from her baby & family—without identifying themselves or showing a warrant. She’s now in San Antonio. The community tried to stop them. They were met with force. Read it. Share it. Never forget it

Great countries have lots of dolls. In great countries, folks buy as many dolls as they want and they don't have to pick between dolls and rent or insulin. More dolls is greatness. More healthcare. More freedom. More rights. More education. More equality. More safety. Greatness is giving girls more.

It feels like they’re preparing us for hard times, like a country that is at war, and yet he’s planning his 92 mil birthday parade, so it’s not about moving towards an overall less materialistic society. It’s Putin style: we are the rich and you are nothing. (Aka “Dire threat to our country.”)

Oh, thank goodness. How I struggle when selecting items for my fiction collection! Finally, an indie press dedicated to the precious and elusive male perspective. Doing the Lord's work over here. /s

Finally a publisher for people like me, who have found it so difficult to be published, much less succeed, in the rough and tumble world of books
Novelist and critic judecook_ has launched Conduit Books, a new independent press that will publish literary fiction and memoir, “focusing initially on male authors” 👇 #BookSky
