Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

The kids at Dilley were drawing pictures of the horrendous conditions they’re being subjected to in the ICE camps.
They were documenting atrocities.
They were ensuring a historical record.
So the regime took their crayons away from them.

The conservative candidate in last nights election was known literally for one thing; she led the anti trans activity in the police.
Seriously that was her background, and why Badenoch backed her. And what happened?
It’s time to give up the lie that transphobia is popular
Having a migraine on the way to getting your migraine treatment at the doctor's office is always fun... #disabled #spoonie #chronicillnesa

her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return.
please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.
everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine
Being disabled and running errands mean getting up earlyish and eating. Getting ready and grabbing my friends. Then running to five or so stores because I haven't had spoons to go to any of the stores individually...and ending up too tired to eat when I get home. #spoonie #disabled #tired
ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.
Got my hour of writing for the week done today. It's been a couple of weeks since I've got it done. It felt great to get back on track.
Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

And by that I mean, I totally have something cool in here. Sign up for Kickstarter reminders for some awesome aspec stories!
The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.
Trans people would LOVE to stop talking about Newsom and all the Democrats who keep trying to water their field with our blood. The problem is liberals won't stop telling us to shut up and die quietly.
> But the public may already access filings in this case through the public terminals available at each federal courthouse in the district
How many people can we get to show up, stand in line, and wait their turn for use of a public terminal?
Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and send Epstein survivors and people illegally detained by ICE in their place.
BREAKING: The DOJ has announced it does not plan to release additional Epstein files to the public because the ones that are left make the president look bad. Like really fucking bad. Isn't that lovely? ♥️
Release the rest of the Epstein Files.
If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice.
If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists.
If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.
A green slide with the upper half of an hourglass with green sand. It also has black sketch images of acorns, a gun, a wolf, and a simplified red blood splatter around dark green words. The words read: An Agent’s Guide To August Out Of Time An Urban Fantasy Sunshine Noir With a small text addition at the bottom: Made in Canva by Theodore Snapdragon
Another light green slide decorated with the top of an hourglass, and this time acorn sketches. The top of the slide is titled “Pitch” and reads: “When he’s shot in his own office, August Lloyd can use his limited time-shifting abilities to escape, but now only has days to escape his future murder by figuring out who wants him dead” Visible underneath behind the glass of the hourglass is the word “Featuring” and bullet pointed below it is text reading: “- Disaster bisexual MC - MLM werewolf love interest - Butch banshee bodyguard - Twisty fae shenanigans - Urban fantasy Los Angeles - Personal identity exploration” with decorations of hearts themed to the bi flag and another heart with dots making up an infinity symbol over it.
Another light green slide with the bottom of an hourglass that matches the top hourglass in the first slide to make the image whole. It’s decorated with golden outlines of vine plants in the background. Near the center of the slide is the titled “For fans of” Around the slide are four book covers, with their titles and short captions nearby. From left to right they read: “The creativity of By A Silver Thread by Rachel Aaron Urban fantasy worldbuilding of Book of Night by Holly Black Sensitive queer main character of Witness For The Dead by Katherine Addison Magical mysteries of Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch”
Another green slide with the bottom of an hourglass matching the top of the hourglass on the second slide. It’s also decorated with doodles of a plant and city buildings. On the left side of the hourglass is the titled “Described In Five Songs” with is connected with a dotted arrow to text on the right side of the hourglass, reading: “Protagonist: Kids (MGMT) Setting: LA Devotee (Panic! At the Disco) Plot: Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Climax: Shake It Out (Florence and the Machine) Ending: Carry On (Fun.)” Below that is another section of text titled “Excerpt”. The text below it reads: “The pain in his shoulder disappeared, replaced by the feeling of soft, warm sheets. The noises of pounding and bootsteps vanished into soft bird calls from outside his window. August opened his eyes on Saturday, a little less than a week before the Thursday when he’d almost died. There was a pale acorn in his left hand.”
A guide August Out of Time, one of the novels I’m querying!
I was inspired to make this guide in Canva when I saw other writers making guides like these on BlueSky, like motthepaladin, enemes, and catherinewinters.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
Looking for a new laptop because my old one has an expensive motherboard that died.
It happens. 💚 Just sharing that moods are weird like that. Not just you.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:
“Ruled by the Epstein Class” feels like a real solid message, to me.
