Transmasc authors I've really enjoyed lately are Isaac Fellman, Ian Haramaki, Nino Cipri, and Kit Mayquist. Oh, and me. I enjoy myself lol.
Not to be vulnerable at like 4am, but dude, I'm so fucking tired. I'm so tired of seeing some of the best transmasc lit I've ever read get completely ignored while people recommend works by cis authors where there is one transmasc in the margins--

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

A young woman on TikTok recently posted a video speaking about how she will die without the insulin she will no longer be able to afford. How she won’t be able to stockpile it forever. How heavy it was to consider that as a young person full of dreams and potential. My heart breaks for her.

The funny thing is that on the WaPo site, if you click on the comments section, it gives you an AI-generated summary of people's responses that is basically like "They all disagree with the paper's right-wing turn"

When Elons complaint is "Mamdani is a charismatic swindler" it sounds like his main complaint is he is charismatic, which one can only interpret as Musk thinking that being charismatic is cheating in the realm of swindling lol

I openly had my misgivings about how a cis white man may handle this topic, but it's so unbelievably refreshing to see a politician, and a party leader at that, answer the question "can a woman have a penis?" with a simple "yes". No obfuscation, no trying to answer a different question, just "yes".

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?
PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”

glad to know during a trans genocide people rather focus on openly queer marginalized creators by ostracizing them and smear campaigning them over absolute nothing burgers than one of the most powerful governments trying everything in thier power to erase trans queers.

Let’s be clear: conservatives don’t want to ban porn because they want men to be more virtuous. They want to ban porn and sex work overall because women and queer people make money from it. They literally want to starve people back into the closet and back into heterosexual marriages with children.

if you have a trans woman in your life it's your duty to take any measure you can to protect her. and if you're not a trans woman, PLEASE use that privilege to advocate for her... people will often not listen to her voice, so use yours to amplify it

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred.

TIL that after the shooting death of CEO Brian Thompson UnitedHealthcare approved many life-saving medical procedures it has been holding out on because of sudden internal panic and public scrutiny. So, Luigi (innocent until proven guilty) probably saved more lives than he took.

Like there aren't any Don Siegel or John Milius types out there any more that care about stuff like, you know, actual filmmaking craft. Just a bunch of chud assholes who are more about scoring points off of libs than making actual art.
Everyone thinks that the new Trump admin is going to bring this huge right ward swing in Hollywood and ehhhh, I think it's gonna get blander. Super conservative stuff doesn't sell to most regular folk but also you're gonna see mainstream studios get gun shy about anything that might piss off chuds.
