hit me with your recommendations for excellent trans adult fiction by trans authors? Stag Dance and RCBG have been rattling around in my head since I read them and I and want to read more trans stories that aren't memoir or aimed at young readers!

My proudest internet moment is introducing a portmanteau for ”spare parent” to more than 22k people who also seem to understand what it’s like being your beloved dog’s least favorite housemate.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

Another way out: How denying reality aids fascism
Fascism doesn’t just thrive on hate—it also feeds on denial. As institutions crumble and history is rewritten, the refusal to confront reality becomes one of the most dangerous political acts of all

I have no one to ask because I am largely self-taught but if anyone on #crossstitch Bluesky can help an ambitious stitcher out, I’d super appreciate it because I do not trust post-AI Google: Does stitching 28 over 2 mean that each X will occupy four total squares?

Every day is heavy now but yesterday was Black Dog Day, which raises awareness of how black dogs are often overlooked in shelters.
This saucy Aussie has been my favorite house wolf for almost 12 years, and being his second chance is the only motherhood I crave. (Even if Daddy is Favorite Parent.)
