I have such a great idea for the Democratic Party: We need to craft and start touting a Project 2028! (All it actually needs to say is, “We will reverse everything the Trump administration has done.”).

Tomorrow @tablehopper.bsky.social and I will be talking LOUDLY about trans history at my book launch at @omnivorebooks.bsky.social. In the midst of this digital book burning, I will do my small part by talking about trans history at every public opportunity I get. No LGB history without T & Q.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Our event last Saturday featured author @nyatattack.bsky.social and their book Spirits Distilled - plus 3 uncommon new whiskies to taste! I can’t remember the last time I got tongue-tied because I thought the author was cute, but it was bound to happen sometime.
