Me in 2023: I don’t know if I’m trans enough to write this MC. Do I even have a gender? What IS gender really? Me in 2026 as my friends tell me all the ways I’m masculine and call me he/him: …Oh. 🥹 Turns out I’ve always been Toast.

I spent 36 of my 38 years feeling like an alien who couldn’t relate with/be relatable to humans. Then I moved to Vermont and became enmeshed with the local queer community. Suddenly human interaction is energizing instead of exhausting?!

I blinked and it's August 💀 At the end of this month, I start the teaching part of my full-time teaching position, the house I'm living in goes up for sale, meaning I need to move and my commute will double, and I have a choir concert. Also I may or may not be releasing a book this fall.

I love Vermont and my Vermonter therapist because I mentioned I was exploring my gender(s) again and he legit suggested I try out drag. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SUGGEST THIS TO ME BEFORE 😮

Having decided to self-publish, I’m well aware that I should be online attempting to be popular and relatable more but honestly I’m too busy switching jobs and having a social life and dressing up all fancy to go on picnics

I will not accept an argument that art and creativity have been uniquely democratised in the last few years since the invention of genAI. What a disservice to human history. How little regard you must have for the billions of souls that struggled through unimaginable suffering to express themselves.

The more I play around with the masc side of gender, the more annoyed I get. You mean men got to have pants with STANDARDIZED sizes that FIT WELL the whole time? Y’all had deodorants that smell GOOD instead of powdery and sneeze-inducing and DON’T STAIN YOUR CLOTHES all along?!

I'm an AFAB living in the US. Hourglass figure. And the best-fitting pants I own? The ones with roomy but invisible pockets, no back-gap, and the perfect taper? That sit at just the right height on my hips? Made from the most comfy material? I found in the men's section of a thrift shop yesterday.

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself

Sooo... I know I just released a new book 30 days ago. But... check out what's coming from Neon Hemlock at the end of April. I just posted a sample chapter at my patreon if you want a taste: www.patreon.com/post...

The mystery of the bitten peach, a lesbian time travel romance mystery. By Cecilia Tan. “Full of queerness, generative solidarity, and gently profound insights into love and choice, Tan’s tale goes down smoothly but its wisdom lingers. Not to be missed.”

My V-Day gifts for friends this year were pana cotta with berry compote and coffee jelly with milk jelly on top. And I realized halfway through (re)doing the coffee that all the recipients shared a certain identity so I went all out 🩵🤍🩷

This morning I’m watching the fluffiest snowflakes drift outside my window and listening to The Greatest Show on Earth by Nightwish

White text on dark background. Lyrics for the first part of The Greatest Show on Earth, reading:
Archaea horizon
The first sunrise
On a pristine gaea
Opus perfectum
Somewhere there, us sleeping

After sleeping through a hundred million centuries
We have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life
