Happy #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! I'm Emily Riesbeck. I write books, mostly about or containing women falling in love with each other. While not all my books are about being trans, it is one of the core facets of myself that i draw from.

My website has previews of all my books: emilyriesbeck.com

we got a box grater recently so i've been making my own hash browns. I think basically zero restaurants, even breakfast spots, get hash browns right: they should be dark golden and crisp on both sides, with just a bit of chew in the middle to hold them together. And a runny yolked egg on top.

There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.
#SaveSpeech

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"

they are not your allies.

Abolish ICE and destroy their computers and databases.
license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby.

Hugely important for trans people concerned about passports - all passports will remain valid according to the government.
In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

back in my old neighborhood there was this one house that had like a ring camera set up that would make an actual noise and say "you are being recorded." which is such an off-putting thing to hear when you are just out for a stroll around the block. i think about that every time i see a ring
There are blocks I won't go jogging down because it's just a wall of Ring cameras right up against the street with no setback and I do not need everyone and their grandmother recording me struggling at sunrise.

For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.

In my opinion if you gift this you have to let him play if he shows up
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.
