NEVER BEEN KISSED X THEY HATE EACH OTHER
Sam and Elliot were archenemies when they went to summer camp as kids, but when they both go back as counselors after coming out as trans, their old rivalry is overshadowed by an intense new attraction between them now that they've transitioned. #DVpit #R #TV

Joining the staff at Sam's old summer camp seems like a great way to get some space from his overbearing parents. There are only 2 problems:
☀️ Sam hated camp as a kid
🏳️‍⚧️ His childhood rival is on staff too & they haven't seen each other since they both came out as trans #DVpit #TV #LGBT #R

When Leah (the pastor's daughter), goes missing, Brooke (her secret girlfriend), has to navigate their cult-like church to find her. One problem: no one remembers who Leah is.

White text on an orange background: An homage to the 90's romcom with a trans twist: Collin, a trans guy who was recently dumped by his girlfriend, makes a bet with his friend that he can nab a date with the hot new barista who works across the street. Bordering the text are drawings of a trans flag, a smoothie blender, a college building, and a coffee cup. A white text box on top of an orange background. The text is a quote from Alice_writes106. It reads: "Wow! I absolutely loved this book!! It was so sweet--with the perfect balance between thoughtful insight, character development, setting, emotion, and plot!! The characters were dimensional and had amazing personalities and I was really transported. I also feel that I can kind of understand trans perspectives a little better and I'm glad you're calling light to these things. Absolutely wonderful read, thank you so much for this creation!!

A mood board for the aesthetics of my novel, Of Gemstones and Divinity. There are nine pictures in a grid, all cool toned. Upper left: the view of the sea from the deck of a ship, looking at another ship in the distance. Upper middle: two women chest-deep in the sea, embracing and kissing. Upper right: a map with a compass and rope lying on top of it. Center left: side profile a brown woman with her hair tied up in a messy way, strands of her hair obscure her face slightly, her hands are clasped together in front of her face. A nondescript background. Center middle: two swords crossing in a duel with a forest-like background. Center right: side profile of a white woman with her hair cascading down her back, her face is tilted upward and one hand is playing with a strand of her hair. A nondescript background. Bottom left: a pile of rolled-up maps. Bottom center: two women laying together in the grass. A white woman holds small flowers and faces upward, and a brown woman leans into her, whispering something in her ear. Bottom right: the view of the sails of a ship from below.

hi, cis folks!

the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people!

if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵
After a few days, you start feeling the initial effects of living without that medication. Your brain gets foggy and you start dissociating. The people in your life stop recognizing you and everyone else in society no longer sees you as you really are. The only way out of this new reality is likely getting your meds on the black market - or dying, because your body can't produce a hormone you need. That is the gutting choice facing more than 275,000 transgender people who are on Medicaid if Trump's "Big Beautiful" budget passes the Senate and gets signed into law.

I said "People of all ages need the booster. We will destroy the workforce and create a massive burden on the healthcare system in the long run if we limit the boosters to a small group. In the short term, this is also a disaster for immune compromised folks or those who are economically vulnerable"

And while this infrastructure is dismantled, it is imperative among those of us who see through this eugenicist dogma to carry public health in our own choices, our own bodies; Prevent the needless spread of pathogens by using tools that create a safer space for all: ventilation, filtration, masks.
At its core, MAHA, of which RFK Jr.'s antivaccine activists is but a part (albeit a huge part), makes health an individual responsibility, denying any sort of public or collective responsibility and defining health as the result of individual willpower, actions, and virtue with respect to health. It ignores social determinants of health, how infectious diseases like measles cannot be controlled with a focus on the individual alone and requires a public health effort, opting instead to make all health and public health a matter of will and good ol' American "do it yourself" doggedness and ingenuity.
