ash lazarus orr is the orr in orr v. trump. his new essay for the new transsexual is about everything that lawsuit leaves out: bike rides, board games, too many hours on bead tapestries. trans people deserve stories that ask nothing of them, he writes. they deserve to be boring.

Trans People Deserve to Be Boring

The Orr in Orr v. Trump on what gets lost when trans people are asked to make our hardest stories useful, and why the ordinary parts of our lives belong in the record too.

I’m reading Moby Dick. It’s good.

Breaking my silence just long enough to say that this is the autumn of Dick (aka I’m finally reading Moby Dick). I’ll give you my full review when I finish in December.

Switched to my backup instagram. I want the feeds of the 50 peeps I care about (and even that feels too big). I’ve been sharing my brain daily for 30 years. This year is about being more private.

Mike Mills has made me sob through two films. I love that Beginners feels like a very pre-Misha Film, and 20th Century Women feels like a Misha Near 50 film.

Every other week I meet my bestie for brunch at My Father’s Place, a dive bar in Portland. I always get the chicken fried steak. Today I’m branching out, and getting the liver and onions. I’ll give you a full review.

Advice on news and socials: sign up for your local public radio station's daily news Email so you get local news. Go to Wikipedia's current events page once a day to see what happened the day before. Put friends's bsky accounts into an RSS reader so you see what you wanna see. Stay sane out there.

Listening to music in the living room, and suddenly grief did a run in, walloping me with a steel chair, and a thousand sobbings wrestled up. The only thought in my head: “what if Gus the cat is the reincarnation of dead trans women, and i have to give him a good life so they can have a good death?”

The school year has started, and Im setting intentions. This year I will be the Private Universal Friend. More quiet. More living in words. Less living in the discourse, and more simple gifts.

I watched the new Mary Oliver documentary, and there was the inevitable moment, after the death of Molly Malone, where the new wife arrived, and was slagged by Mary’s old friends. I wanted to write a poem for her.

What do I want with me at work? A notebook. A kindle. A simple lunch. Water. A log in for PBS and criterion. Quiet between calls. A way to be bored. Boredom is good for a poet.

Sometimes Gus yowls at me in the morning to join him in the office, and I do and I write a poem and share it and feel better about the world, and if that isn’t love I don’t know what is. That sweet cat knows me better than myself sometimes. Or he just wants me to see the crows who are bothering him.

At the call center members have complimented me as a guy (“thank you dude!") and yelled at me as a gal (“you fucking bitch!"), and I wonder what that says about America.
