I feel like I exclaim about Law Dork a lot, but Chris's coverage is imperative for me at this point – and he really stands out in treating the current assault on trans existence in the US as worthy of careful, sensitive attention. his work is free, but wholly worth supporting.
Big report at Law Dork tonight on this decision — and much more on DOJ’s anti-trans attacks: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

today i allowed someone i volunteer with to buy me a dessert crepe in exchange for answering her questions about gender, transness etc, AND my uber driver was conspicuously listening to a laura loomer podcast but we still managed to agree that it's nice when cities have benches

Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

whenever a post of mine becomes in any way "popular" i end up going offline out of self-defence. just way too many opportunities to start fights by saying "sounds like a you problem my friend" to the quote-post strangers

apropos of very little, let me just reiterate: I block for total strangers’ assumptions about the extent of my “fight” or “resistance” or “activism” based on my online presence. I am a trans immigrant and federal agencies use this site. use a fucking crumb of common sense.

everyone remembers what happened to Isabel Fall.
I think we lost some work because authors were afraid to show their weirdnesses, rough edges, to ask uncomfortable questions.
We can debate all day about who got cancelled and whether or not they deserved it, but one thing I have noticed is that a lot of queer YA written from ~2019-2022 has a kind of sterile after-school-special vibe where you can just tell they sanitized the fuck out of it to appease the Twitter hivemind

Not a common public narrative, I know, but have you considered "everyone in this scenario sucks" is, in fact, extremely common in reality. Or even, "This one person sucked and this other person sucked more"

i realise i can't crowdsource ideas, that way lies madness and also suboptimal work, but i'm curious to know what speaks to people more:
a) protagonist thinks he's in a mystery, is in fact in a gothic and about to get atticwifed; or
b) protagonist knows he's getting atticwifed, is into it

today we saw a friend’s choir sing some assorted hymns and I realised that American hymn settings tend to sound a bit like you’re about to go on a little adventure. hardships along the way? sure! but a) worth it b) your bro Jesus has got you so it’s fine
