I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I'm working on a project that involves reading a lot of academic articles about trans people, and it seems for every case study I pursue, there's one paper that has the most unfounded, transphobic take possible. Always gotta be one.

Last year I read I’M MOSTLY HERE TO ENJOY MYSELF by @glynnismacnicol.bsky.social and I loved it. It’s way outside my usual genre choices; does anyone have recommendations for what to read next? What I liked: the travel, the midlife musing, the lack of husband/children, the humor.

The second thing I think of when I think of Tony Head, apart from his various delightful roles, is this story from Jay Hulme. He was a kind, generous guy and especially in the current mood, and during Pride month, this hurts. (And don't read after Sarah Woolley's tweet. Not worth it.)

Honestly, shout out to past me for deciding I was going to sell a trans romantasy to a big5 publisher because it was “more marketable” than my other ideas. Trans books might not be selling right now but I did write a book I love.

About once a year I do an art. This painting is for The Cold Forge, a deeply Irish fairy romance between a trans man on the run from the fairy queen and the exiled demigod warrior he bullies into protecting him. Inspired by Meeting on the Turret Stairs by Frederich William Burton.

An art nouveau take on "Meeting on the Turret Stairs" by Frederich William Burton. Two lovers embrace. One is a fairy with bull's horns, one is a small trans man. The painting is in shades of teal and brown.
