There’s a quiet beauty in what endures — even when time leaves its marks.
This photo from my recent trip reminded me how much we carry. The cracks, the wear, the weight of years…and still, there is strength. Still, there is grace.

“All things transgender” keeps getting tossed around as political shorthand. But what if it actually means something beautiful — freedom, self-knowledge, and dignity for everyone?

A dangerous new framing is emerging, and it’s aimed squarely at trans people. I’ve had a few allies ask me, though, if it really could extend to them.
Let’s talk about it.

Today marks two years since we arrived at our new home. Two years since leaving everything behind… a house still filled with most of our belongings, with all of our memories. Two years since leaving our close-knit community and our kids leaving behind their childhood friends.

Two Republican elected officials — Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson — have now openly called for the institutionalization of transgender people in the United States.
Let that sink in.

Who are the un-godly, hateful people again? The hypocrites? The ones who represent a danger to individuals and society as a whole?

The recently-released HHS report on gender-affirming care without a cited author was penned by a philosopher. Not a therapist. Not a researcher. Not a medical doctor. A philosopher. Who happened to have already written an anti-trans book.

In the face of hate, you've held your head high, knowing that no one else gets to dictate who you are, and that you — and only you — can determine your destiny. That truth lives in you so deeply, it radiates. I hope you always carry it with you, especially in the moments when the world feels heavy.

Dear Avery,
Eighteen.
It’s a milestone, yes — but more than that, it’s a moment to look back at everything you’ve already overcome and everything you’re becoming. I’ve watched you grow into yourself with a kind of grace and power that takes most people a lifetime to find.

A Donated Bike and Summer Needs
Thanks to your generosity, Bonus Kid now has a donated bike! That’s a huge help for commuting to school. We’re working on fixing it up with a few essentials — a more comfortable seat, lights, and a solid lock.

Today is Mother’s Day — a day that brings joy for some, heartache for others, and complicated feelings for many.
Mother’s Day isn’t one-size-fits-all. However you’re feeling today, please know your emotions are valid. May we hold space for one another with empathy, grace, and hope.
With love,

This is my friend’s cat. She is very judgmental and not pleased with algorithms. She knows I shared a link for my Bonus Kid’s school expenses on my birthday and that it seems no one saw it. So she agreed to assist by offering her judgy face to the Algorithm Gods.

Photo for attention since the current state of affairs is a big part of why my BonusKid wanted to join us. We are still raising funds for his school costs. If you can help with a donation or by sharing the link, I’d appreciate it.

🍊has just declared himself the arbiter of arts and culture. In defining art, he’ll be able to define p0rn. And according the the P2025 playbook, that will include everything transgender, including *being* trans. I predict a terrifying EO coming soon.

Today, I am focused on celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy. I usually post about MLK Day as the first day Avery went to preschool fully presenting as a girl and asking to be recognized as such.
