A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Can't wait to be back at #TwinCitiesCon this weekend, and once again sharing a booth with these wonderful folks. Gotta say my favorite thing about traveling for cons, is getting to spend time with friends. ❤️

Realized I forgot to post update during/after FanX in SLC! It was absolutely delightful sharing a booth with friends and fellow authors Fae Quin, KL Hiers, and Kit Barrie! We did group theme costumes, and had fun meeting new folks and reconnecting with folks from last year! Hope to see y'all again!

Alastor got written up by OSHA! They didn't listen to him trying to say any issues with the new hotel are all Lucifer's fault.

This is a blurry shot of the audience as the room was still filling up, everyone eager to talk folklore. The room ended up PACKED.
Hope to see more happy faces on my panels tomorrow!

DragonCon is this weekend! I'll be peddling books in the vendor hall or on one of these panels. Will only be in cosplay one day, so if you wanna see Alastor the Radio Demon, that's Sat. Every other day will be regular ol' me. ;)

Hey all, I'm doing a donation campaign for the Transgender Law Center.
With everything happening in the US right now, I want to find more ways to support my community. I made these enamel pins with the progress pride colors, based on this quote from Captain America.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I was going to do a new such thread every day this week, BUT the response to yesterday's, featuring Trans creators, was absolutely massive and there are still people discovering it. So I am going to leave this up for another day for people to see all the great creators in it!
Another thread Monday!

Each day this week, I'm making a thread spotlighting and signal-boosting creators who are in different marginalized groups being targeted by jerks.
Today, it's Trans creators. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, please post below with links to your work if you can!
Art, music, crafts, whatever! Show us!

This needs saying.
Within living memory it was literally illegal to be trans in public. Within living memory queer communities faced a horrific genocide. Within my lifetime anti-queer violence was far, far more widespread. People fought anyway.
Do not assume all is lost. We do not have the luxury.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.
None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.
But a LOT are caused by bigots.

Still don't understand how this badly-written charicature of a villain could manage to get elected once, let alone twice.
The bishop who publicly begged Trump to have empathy received exactly the reaction you would expect from a man who is thoroughly evil and has never had empathy for anyone

This is a beautiful act of courage, but my god do I resent that we have to beg these cruel people to have mercy on human beings, to foster even a shred of humanity for those who are endangered, abused, hunted, and exploited.
This will sit with me for a long, long while.
