This is heartbreaking. 💔
We are supposed to be joining my spouse's family on a Caribbean cruise this coming winter. Predictably, the port is in Florida. And every day I worry more that I'm going to have to buy and stuff a bra just to get through that leg without trouble.
Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S.

If you have never read his biography, read it, and prepare to fall in love all over again with a man who clearly radiated goodness from his very core.
The best time to have encountered his own writing was when you were young & still establishing your personal values: the second best time is today.

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

"You're arresting Unmentionables?"
"No uniform. No badge. Carrying weapons. Let's have a bit of law around here, shall we," said Vimes.
"We'll get into trouble!" Knock shouted.
"We're in trouble anyway, Winsborough," he said. "It's just a case of deciding what kind we want."

Second-hand feels from characters you've created is a trip 🤣 sometimes good, sometimes cringe, but always a trip.

I love a respectful challenge to my thinking. You gotta understand that all the questions I’m going to ask indicate my interest in understanding your position, and do not reflect either agreement or disagreement. You might be able to change my mind, but be able to accept that you can’t.

Also the more you do this, the more likely it is they'll just out and *tell* you about themselves (if your brain works that way).
Including sometimes giving you very different answers than the ones you were expecting/turning out to have much more complex opinions or feelings about certain things.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 357:
If you think of your characters as people, so will your readers. That means giving them a past, interests, people in their lives, likes, dislikes, a culture, an education, (dis)abilities, strengths, weaknesses. Your readers don’t need to know it all, but you do.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

It's a chaotic time. Have you eaten something today? Taken your meds? Gone for a walk outside? Called a friend recently or made plans to see one in person?
It's tempting to rot in bed or doomscroll all day. I get it. You still deserve moments of joy and enough time to rest.

*stares directly into camera, specifically at all the people who told me I was being dramatic when I said they would attempt this*
This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it.
