"Willpower couldn’t make her go away. Prayer didn’t release me from her presence. Hypnosis failed to release her. She stayed in my soul and heart and patiently waited for me to bring her out of the dream."

1/31/2026 - New new spectacles. I got new glasses a couple months ago. One of the lenses kept popping out, so I cashed in on the 100 day guarantee and got these, which I like a lot more, instead. 🤓 What do you think? 💜📚

1/22/2026 - Christians, if you can’t see pictures of a (trans) mom cooking dinner for her family without s*xualizing her (especially in an abusive frame), that isn’t her sin, it’s yours. (I’m not sharing “Christian Mom of Two’s” reason I should lose my children, but you can see the implication.)

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

Just had a lovely coffee date with a friend who happens to be a cis woman. It got me thinking about the cis friends who ask me how to be an ally (subtext: activism). Activism is great (and needed to stave off our g-cide), but we also really need the friendships, the love, the normalcy, the hugs.

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.

7/9/2025 - Late last night, I dropped a new single in my mixtape memoir series. It’s about playing with my sister’s dolls, being “caught,” and then retreating into shame, anger, and mimic of the boys around me. Please read, share, and subscribe. Love y’all! 💜thepoetmiranda📚

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.

Every “it’s the overreach of the left that has led to the right’s embrace of fascism” op-ed is another retread of “the decadence of Weimar Germany (ie, the public presence of queer people) is why we got the Nazis,” which is and always has been victim blaming bullshit

They're going to use this to punish gay people and people who don't conform to gender roles Transphobia is a tool for fascism to do more than just hurt trans people (which is a core part of fascism)

An update on my reporting from March: RAINN has taken a step further and banned resources for trans people and immigrants. Many had defended RAINN, saying they would still serve trans people. Clearly that was wrong. NYTimes did the recent reporting, but did not cite me.

Top Sexual Assault Hotline Bans Referrals To Resources For Marginalized Groups
RAINN's decision to stop referring callers to resources for immigrants and LGBTQ+ people reportedly comes in response to Trump's DEI-related threats.

riley with a damn good quick explainer. our whole pre-transition lives are a lite conversion therapy (at the very least; some folks get it worse) & it takes outrageous luck, fortitude, & will to not just survive it, but come out & stay out. 🧵

i’m a fan of this headline because it’s important to remember—as institutions are blackmailed over funding & illegitimate orgs like “american college of pediatricians” make headlines—that every legit US medical org with something to say about it said last year, “for trans kids, transition is good.”
nbcnews.com
HHS breaks with major U.S. medical groups in review of pediatric gender care
The Department of Health and Human Services released the review, which doesn’t name any of its authors, in response to an executive order from President Trump.
