My story "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" is live right now in Luna Station Quarterly 65! Jazz-playing alien bugs! Queer love triangles! Awkward social interactions! All this, plus (and I really can't emphasize this enough) jazz-playing alien bugs!
How I arrived on Bluesky.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

the worlds not over
you're still needed

I cannot despair
I have to keep onward and we all must keep onward and pour our hearts out and do our good work so someday there is an end to this where all the wronged peoples of the world are victorious and relieved and the next generation is rejoicing and all the tyrants are ashes they dance in.
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.
Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.
the best time to stand up for us was years ago when we told you where this was all heading
until cis people decide to stop this,
it’s gonna continue
you see where this is heading
the second best time to stand up for us is NOW
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Finally, an answer to the age-old question.
What's the matter with Kansas? Fucking everything, apparently.
But I can't. With about eight hours' notice, my legally obtained driver's license was invalidated. I've never even had a speeding ticket. Now if I drive my car to work, I will be breaking the law.
I just want to contribute to my community. I just want to teach my students—the children of my fellow Kansans. I just want to greet my neighbors and support local businesses and share words and music and hard work.
Also, my very trans SF story “The Visitor” came out in The Future Fire issue 2026.75 futurefire.net/2026.75/fict...
My story “Sin Crouches at the Entrance” appeared in The Daily Tomorrow! dailytomorrow.substack.com/p/sin-crouch...
Friends, the story I've contributed to this collection is one of my favorites I've ever written, and the cause is a worthy one, especially nowadays. If you could use some help imagining better times after the bad times (and some extremely queer hijinks), give this project some love!
Just what we all need from me: another form. As if this one isn’t trouble enough already!
Another day going to work and doing my little chores while my entire body is flashing red and emitting a pained beeping sound.
The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.
An informational graphic detailing the contact information for the Somos Lawrence and Sanctuary Alliance hotlines along with the relevant information to share in case likely ICE activity is spotted.
ICE spotted in Lawrence, KS. Be safe and pass on any info to the hotlines right away.
In case you missed it, I posted a free game to itch.io!

Enter the world of my bestselling novel Galactic Hellcats and its sequel Andrei and the Hellcats, where you will play as one of the twin sex robots, Autumn and Andrei, seeking love.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
I don't think many cis people realize how much...
1) Blatant transphobia and harassment by the "you have to support Newsom" crowd.
2) UK tearing apart trans rights under a centrist/liberal gov.
3) Blue state govs refusing to enforce trans protections.
Is reshaping how we see liberals and Dems.
The Kickstarter launches later today, so stay tuned!
I'm honored to announce that I've contributed an original SF short story to this project! If you're a fan of trans resilience, queer joy, and mysterious golden statues deep in space, check this out.
Things are dark, but we won't let the bastards get us down. When they want us to cower, we dance.
A child's portrait of elementary teacher Sylvie Althoff done with markers. Half the subject's face is a photograph of a cat, and both halves have a mouth hanging open in a scream of horror. Her head is crowned with flames and/or a golden crown.
Student portrait. Glamourpuss/evil queen/vision-impaired elementary teacher. The scream really sells it.
Awards eligibility! I had seven stories come out in 2025, and if you’re so inclined, give ‘em a nom for the Hugos etc.! www.sylviealthoff.com/blog/2025-aw...
