This society is built around the falsehood that queer and trans kids do not exist, despite generations of statements from queer and trans adults about how they were once children. No politician of any stripe is willing to acknowledge this truth in public.

The very 2026 ritual of wanting to listen to some album I loved fifty years ago and then anxiously checking to see if the artist has turned TERF or neo-con in the intervening years.

I think we've learned, by now, that "obscene" here means "acknowledging queerness", because queerness and queer people are judged to be intrinsically obscene in this worldview. I wonder why all modern autocratic ideologies seem so united on this.

I'm on a full Amtrak train, so my judgement interior monologue is blaring inside of my skull. Everyone I hear is shallow, privileged and irritating. My scorn, as always, is misdirected, but it appears at the slightest provocation.

Lovely news. @persephonebooks is opening a London shop in the building that was Pollock’s Toy Museum. I had a Saturday job there in the toyshop–Marguerite Fawdry, toy history guru, cooked lunch in the basement and Barry the toy theatre expert did wonderful shows upstairs. Persephone the perfect fit!
