So excited. I love Diane DiMassa. Hothead Paisan was a lifesaver for me as a baby trans dyke

Ah good—hope it’s a fun listen. They did a great job with the audio book. And guess what! The whole book has been updated and expanded into a new edition. It’s not in audio yet, but it’s an eye opening read. xoxo Auntie

Gender Outlaw came out May 12, 1994, it’s still making people laugh, cry, and gasp out loud in recognition. Thanks for your trust in me and support all these years. Oh, and fuck you very much, Donald Trump—I’ve sold more books than you have.

Just got my advance hardcover copy of MARSHA, by Tourmaline. At long, long last Miss Marsha P. Johnson has a for-real and lovingly written biography. Cannot wait to dig in!

Ha! You’ve got a 1994 ,first edition hardback with me looking all Martha Stewart. So glad you love it. New edition came out 2016, with me in full color all blonde and sassy. New edition addresses some leaps and bounds the trans world made over those 20 years. Bet you love this one too ♥️

“I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”
Paul Reubens

Aw damn. He’s passed, age 70. He was our queer Mister Rogers. I know death and dying are supposed to happen but in some cases I sure wish they didn’t.

Spent the day on the RI shore with dear friend @sbearbergman.bsky.social He and I go back decades to the earliest days of AOL identity surfing
