We're thankful to Dean Spade for lifting up prison pen-palling. As more and more people, especially trans and disabled people, migrants, and BIPOC, are criminalized and incarcerated, we need to hold them down. Almost a third of our numbers are trans and many are very isolated

If you’re distressed watching the transphobic nightmare unfold, a great way to support trans people is to become a penpal to an imprisoned trans person.

*taps mic* I'm going to try and be more active on here. I'm going through a big change. I was hired as a long term sub for 6th grade ELA. So I'll be teaching for a couple of months. Headlong and flaming. "My body is afraid, but I am not"

I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

@greatdismal.bsky.social Long shot but what the hell. Way back during the tour for Spook Country, you autographed my copy with my "legal" name. Problem is, that name is now my deadname and while I cherish my copy, it stings to see my old name. Anyway I could mail it to you to get my real name signed

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
