Just in case y'all haven't heard, there's an email phishing attack going around where you get an e-invitation from someone you know. This week I've gotten two from faux @tananarivedue.bsky.social and one from faux Jim Frenkel of all people. Email the person to double check!

Just in case anyone is in London at the end of this month, my queer time-travelling pirate musical has a one-week production run at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate and we’d love to see you there 🏴‍☠️ Show info and tickets: tiny.cc/APMgatehouse

Blue text of Asian Pirate Musical over a subtitle 28 July to 2 August, Upstairs at the Gatehouse on top half of image. Bottom half of image shows a whirlpool in red and blue, with a siphonophore emerging out of it and ships caught in the swirl of the whirlpool.

im done with nuance. if u won't loudly love the trans women in your life like their life depends on it (bc it fucking DOES) then i don't want you in my life. there is no discussion. it's too late for "trans women are valid!" it has to be "i will fight for u as long as i live because i love you!"

The adults are not as cute and I guess I probably wouldn't have as much trouble squishing them. But the nymphs are just adorable! And invasive on this continent. 😭

K. Tempest Bradford @ktempestbradford.com · 01/07/2026

I know that they are invasive and I know I have to smush any that I see, but I feel really bad killing spotted lanternfly nymphs because they're so, so cute! Those little spots! The red ones especially are quite aesthetically pleasing....

How. hard. is. it. to translate "man... his" as "person...one's" if you KNOW that the thing was written at a time /place when women & ppl of other genders were excluded from public life but this was the clear plain meaning of the text? The amount of time I spend retranslating just this, people.

If nothing else, I hope everyone flinging open their windows helps air this all out. I've personally been reminding myself that the guilt I feel is misplaced/mislabeled. I am so angry that people were hurt (both by silence and by everyone speaking out). Unhinged indeed.

K. Tempest Bradford @ktempestbradford.com · 27/06/2026

Yes to both posts. I've been where you are and it sucks. When people finally start talking publicly is when shit gets dealt with. Getting to that point is a rough road, sometimes.
