I am humbled and flabbergasted that my little self-published book of sad poems is now an award-winning book. Honestly, my brain wants to downplay it, though my heart wants deeply to be celebrated. Either way, it’s happening. #transwriters #booksky #poetry 📘📚🌈🌎

I am humbled and thrilled with Literary Titan’s review of my collection of poetry. “Through deeply personal narratives, Hatchel explores identity, trauma, queerness, grief, and resilience with a voice that is equal parts tender and ferocious.” literarytitan.com/2025/02/27/s...

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

If you're an English, Philosophy, or Queer Studies professor in Canada, Ireland, Aotearoa, or Australia and you're looking for an overqualified grad student who would make a fantastic TA, now would be a great time to HMU about your program 🙏

Do any other writers feel compelled to apologize whenever they present their writing to potential readers? I have no idea what that is in me or what I’m battling, but while I’m infinitely proud of my work, I can’t fathom other people liking it as well. #booksky

There was a day during the pandemic when the fear of it all hit too hard. I feared death in a really tangible way for the first time in my life, and the sharp pain of never getting to live as a woman cracked my egg. I didn’t want to die without trying to make my real life a reality.

I'm so excited to be hosting this Trans Writing Workshop with @lilacperil.bsky.social next weekend! If you're in the DC area and are interested in writing some weird shit with me, please consider swinging by!

An infographic titled: "Lilac Peril Presents: Trans Writing Workshop with guest instructor Nic Anstett." An image of a black and white sketch of a castle on a mountaintop appears next to the text: "Saturday, February 8th / 2:00pm-5:00pm / Takoma Park Neighborhood Library / 416 Cedar St. NW Washington DC. 20012"

An infographic. In the bottom right sits a black and white sketch of a cockatrice. The text reads: "Who is this workshop for? trans, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit writers of all experience levels. We welcome you whether its your 1st or 100th workshop. How much does it cost? nothing! the workshop is 100% free. Why should I go? to build community, to fight despair, and to get inspired for that writing project you've really been meaning to work on."

For absolutely no reason at all; Costa Rica has a digital nomad visa (2 years!) and those on the visa can access HRT in the country affordably. Costa Rica currently has the best laws in North America for trans rights, marriage equality, and adoption rights.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

You know how people tell you to drink hot tea when it’s sweltering outside so you sweat through it? That was my theory with stress/dread as I sat down to watch Emilia Perez. And let me tell you, sweaty tea drinkers, it does not work.

Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care. They didn't stand for it.

My toddler just told me with much passion and anger that her dance instructor called me a dad when she said to them, “go to your mom and dad” because she meant me but I am not a dad. This is deeply upsetting to my child because I’m not a dad and no one should call me a dad.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

In case it isn’t clear, this is a concentration camp. Please call your reps, tell them to demand complete stoppage of the use of Guantanamo Bay as a Trump’s concentration camp, and use that language so there’s no mistaking what we’re talking about here.

Trump just banned all trans care for minors nationwide. Three trans related bans while also stripping all government agencies and workplace protections that endeavor to protect me and my rights. I have no doubt a ban on my HRT is coming. Anyone who told me I was overreacting can fuck themselves.

"If the pizza doesn't get to me in 30 minutes, it's free?" "Yes, sir. That's correct." I place my order. 14 minutes pass before the delivery driver comes out into the parking lot. He sees me standing there, 20 feet from the door. "Sixteen minutes left," I say, and begin to run. The chase begins.

This approach to queer identity seems to be drenched in the legal landscape of the US, ensuring civil right on the basis of innate or inborn characteristics. And I'm telling you right now I don't give a shit if my tranny dykehood is innate or not. Choosing to be like me is not a fucking sin.

I cannot emphasize how important it is to leave reviews for marginalized authors. Fash and conservatives OFTEN leave negative reviews just to purposefully tank a book and give "validity" to their argument that "diverse books are badly written."
