Prisms danced on the cover of Bird Body this morning! Thank you @zoefaystindt.bsky.social for meeting with the Blue Stones last night to share new work and talk "stretching our strangeness" for the coming creative season. You've inspired us to embrace the wondrous and the weird.

i'm struggling with how to write this post without seeming like i'm capitalizing on trans suffering.
but if you're like me, and reading the work of other trans writers makes you feel less alone, i publish a whole quarterly mag for trans writers and artists.
it's what i've got.

Y'all, some of your favorite small presses and literary organizations just got a gut punch from the NEA. Today would be a great day to support them.
May we suggest that you buy a book from @hubcitypress.bsky.social?

There is no way you should comply if your employer texts you a survey asking if you are Jewish. The "current administration" probably wants Jews to turn in anyone who has taken part in pro-Palestinian protests so they can be declared "un-American" & deport them. Don't let yourself be used like this.

It was disturbing to be in court today.
As I wrote:
[I]n an alarming sign for LGBTQ people, it was clear that at least three of the justices believe that describing queer people accurately — acknowledging their equal existence — amounts to taking sides or trying to “influence” children.

The Museum of African American History in Boston is losing federal funding. You can help. (Or find something local). I know we can't save everything that gets defunded. This is the one I've supported today.

weird, what could explain this
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

A few thoughts about today's protests:
1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures:
-- total national turnout (~ 3 million)
-- number of local protests (~ 1400)

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
