Despite my worsening Long Covid, I wrote a 146K word novel called Jules Cassidy, PI. I got my ass into that LC study for tirazepitide. (I’m on week 4)!!!!
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

I feel a special kind of sorrow and anger about events and communities that claim to be about liberation—queer, trans, BIPOC, disabled, etc—and yet don’t require n95s, implement clean air practices, etc.
I dream of a world in which the guiding principle of “we keep each other safe” is true.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

For now, the most important thing you can do is submit a public comment about the harm these rules would cause. These comments may not ultimately sway this transphobic regime, but they will be very important for future lawsuits. 👇

The regime has announced two proposed rules intended to make it extremely difficult (if not impossible) for trans youth to receive the healthcare they need.
We expect robust legal challenges to these hate-filled proposals and are actively engaged with organizations on the frontlines of this fight.

The people who showed up to vote for a write-in dem candidate in a Trump+50 special election 2 days before Christmas are democracy's strongest soldiers.
Polls closed in SC at 7 PM ET. Results here: www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/125770/we...
Still *super* early, but in the uncontested #SD21 (around Trump+50), write-ins are currently getting 42% of the vote against Republican Lee Bright.

hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.

a sequel:
cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”
