Hello. It’s been a minute! I‘ve been busy running a cute little coffee shop. ❤️

Rowan Jetté Knox 🇨🇦 @mavenofmayhem.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

What happens when you risk everything and open up a coffee shop as two trans people? This. ❤️ Thanks for making our first week incredible, Toronto. We love you.

Hi! My partner and I are trans and this weekend we opened our dream coffee shop in Toronto called Understory (505 Church St if you’re local). It’s been packed every day with people from all walks of life and the joy I feel is immeasurable. In these dark times, I just want to show you a little light❤️

It’s deeply familiar. This is our patio table.

A sneak peek at our queer lil’ coffee shop a few days before we open. 🥰

Hi! I’m still here! I’ve been really busy getting our coffee shop through the last few days of construction and setup so we can open soon. Tired. Happy. Entirely worth it. Can’t wait to provide a new inclusive space for my neighbours. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I don’t often respond to trolls these days, but when I do it tends to look like this. And then they delete their comments.

This is nine weeks post-op. I’m back to normal workouts, normal days, now with added scar gel and massage. What’s not there? The weight of dysphoria. That weight disappeared when the twins did. May I introduce my new roommates, the pec brothers.😅

Happy holidays and merry Christmas to all of you. Love is what makes a family, so whoever you’re with today, may you feel whole and happy. ❤️ Back to hanging out with my partner, her dad, my kids, her kid, my ex & her partner (who is also my current partner’s ex😂) I love this beautiful, messy life.

My partner took this photo of me yesterday. “Wow. Is that me?” I asked incredulously. She’s trans, too. She knew exactly what I meant. Was the man I was seeing in the photo—finally, after years of seeing a woman—me? She smiled. “Yes, it is. That’s you.” That’s me. 🥺

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

I just finished my first strength workout since having top surgery and smiled the whole way through (even during pushups). The euphoria. OMG 🥺

Today is my six week follow-up appointment after top surgery. This will likely be the very last time I ever wear a binder, and that’s AMAZING (compression binders are used after this surgery for a few weeks to help healing). ANYWAY I know what shirt I’m wearing

Not to mention that waivers are VERY costly, take months to get, and are generally only accepted if the crime you’ve been convicted of happened a good while back AND you can prove (via character references, etc) that you’re what they would deem an upstanding citizen. Good luck with all that, Graham.

I’m doing great, thanks! Almost a full month into top surgery recovery and I’ve gained most of my mobility and energy back. The confidence and joy boosts have been excellent. Hope you’re doing well too!

This is what I kept thinking when walking home earlier. Democrats need to show voters that having Democratic control of the Senate makes a difference. Cutting this deal only tells voters that it doesn't.
