Hi! My partner and I are trans and this weekend we opened our dream coffee shop in Toronto called Understory (505 Church St if you’re local). It’s been packed every day with people from all walks of life and the joy I feel is immeasurable. In these dark times, I just want to show you a little light❤️
What happens when you risk everything and open up a coffee shop as two trans people?
This. ❤️
Thanks for making our first week incredible, Toronto. We love you.

Everyone’s doing the whole “2016 to 2026” thing so I figured I might as well share my subtle changes.

Hi! I’m still here! I’ve been really busy getting our coffee shop through the last few days of construction and setup so we can open soon.
Tired. Happy. Entirely worth it. Can’t wait to provide a new inclusive space for my neighbours. ❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

I don’t often respond to trolls these days, but when I do it tends to look like this.

For a few days, but that’s it. I was driving myself places after a couple of weeks.

This is nine weeks post-op. I’m back to normal workouts, normal days, now with added scar gel and massage.
What’s not there? The weight of dysphoria. That weight disappeared when the twins did. May I introduce my new roommates, the pec brothers.😅

Happy holidays and merry Christmas to all of you. Love is what makes a family, so whoever you’re with today, may you feel whole and happy. ❤️
Back to hanging out with my partner, her dad, my kids, her kid, my ex & her partner (who is also my current partner’s ex😂)
I love this beautiful, messy life.

My partner took this photo of me yesterday.
“Wow. Is that me?” I asked incredulously.
She’s trans, too. She knew exactly what I meant. Was the man I was seeing in the photo—finally, after years of seeing a woman—me?
She smiled. “Yes, it is. That’s you.”
That’s me. 🥺

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

To my #academic and #history and #genderstudies friends: THE INTERMEDIARIES is exactly the kind of book the current admin don’t want you to teach— #trans history, #LGBTQ fight against nazis, real 🧪 science. Knowing y’all, you may be teaching it anyhow. If so, please say!

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"
