Hi, I'm back! I'm sorry I disappeared. I'm just really hunkering down on this writing business. Please tell me something good that happened to you this week, though. I need the positivity in my life.

Hi can I just live there forever? Arecibo was fucking amazing.

I've been quiet lately because I've been enjoying Puerto Rico. I am in love with it. I could live here, it's incredibly beautiful and Puerto Ricans are the nicest human beings 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤

Massive protest happening in Union Square right now to defend trans youth from President Trump’s attempts at eradication.

They're trying so hard to portray normalcy and compliance but that's just not reality. Americans do not want this and they are out in the streets protesting.

The reason why is exposure. It's pretty hard to hate a certain demographic when they are your friends and neighbours. When you see them as people in your community. Bigger cities are typically blue for this reason.

"His comments seemed to indicate that Mr. Trump wanted to find a new homeland for the Palestinians rather than reconstruct Gaza" is an insane way to describe what would be one of history's greatest programs of ethnic cleansing.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

The elimination of transgender people is not a distraction from "real issues", it is an OFFER in exchange for dismantling and looting the Federal government Most of the GOP base is going to take that deal; the rest of us have to reject it

The more I study the occult the more I realize "demons" are just incredibly old gods that threatened Christian rule. Lucifer/Satan? That's Cernunnos King Paimon? That's Ruda, beloved. They were powerful gods that were demonized by the church to scare people away from them.

Hey y'all, you're gonna need to cry. You will need to scream and cry and have days where you can't do anything at all. We are facing unprecedented horrors and threats to our well-being, our freedoms. But I beg of you not to stay in the despair. Rise up, but always give yourself time to grieve.

They're also trying to get rid of no fault divorce with this bill, and drag queen performances. There is no doubt in my mind they're going to put LGBTQ+ content under the umbrella of pornography. #booksky

Musk and his allies are ransacking the federal treasury, gaining access to closely guarded payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars and hold massive amounts of incredibly sensitive information—including Social Security numbers. Just a terrifying development. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Friday, according to three people familiar with the change, handing Elon Musk and the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

The new authority follows a standoff this week with a top Treasury official who had resisted allowing Mr. Musk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government. The official, a career civil servant named David Lebryk, was put on leave and then suddenly retired on Friday after the dispute, according to people familiar with his exit.

No, in fact, fuck no. The only thing backwards is you thinking it's okay to ask a group of human beings to allow injustices and sacrifice their rights for your benefit. How about you eat out of a dirty toilet Jamie.

My hot take: Most people in their twenties do irreversible damage to their bodies (sometimes lives) by their over consumption of alcohol mixed with a poor sleep schedule and diet. You'll be feeling that in your thirties, beloved.

And when will it stop? Who does it benefit to sacrifice an entire group of people's safety and well-being? Do you really think it'll stop with Trans people? Be so fucking for real right now.

I finally finished a drawing of the MC of book one in my queer dark fantasy series. His name is Benendo, he is a bad man with perfect hair and I love him. #booksky #queer #darkfantasy #WIP #Fantasywriter

A beautiful man in woodcut traditional drawing. He has long black hair, monolid eyes, and fancy clothes. I would die for him

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age. If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization. Please let me know if yours has.

AI is so diabolical for a myriad of reasons, but one that bothers me, that rarely gets talked about, is the sinister nature of how it isolates artists. Writers no longer collaborate with artists for covers or illustrations. Musicians AI their album covers. Animators generating music/voice (1/?)

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.
