He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

"we are living through unprecedented times". bro these times have so much precedent. these are some of the most precedented times of all time.

tbh I don't expect any of this to move the needle on transphobia at all

It's based in a revulsion response, not anything logical or rational. Those who even acknowledge it are just going to be like 'yeah the messenger was bad, but they were right tho'.

It's time.

Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food.

Let's change that.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

even when all this is over no other country is going to trust us for a very long time, and we will deserve it

"Be reasonable about this," he says. "Meet me in the middle."
"OK," you say. You take a step forward.
He takes a step back.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

if you've ever lamented the way this country left gay men to the ravages of HIV in the 1980s, the way this country reveled in seeing innocent people decimated–

then you really are obligated to step up and do something about what this country is doing deliberately to trans people right now

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Trans Continental Pipeline Queer Relocation Nonprofit in Denver, Colorado

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim*

If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase β€˜Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen β€˜His name’

in other news, I think the way to fix the novel that's been beating under my floorboards for a year is to remove a third of it. πŸ˜” jelly of people who write 200k monsters on their first drafts. is 60k too short for a scifi debut? asking for a friend...

Cover of Flightless: Riff is front and center. He is a man with "glidesheaths"--flaps of skin extending from his arms and sides to help him glide. And he's showing off, gliding through the air. He wears a red hood and brown tattered clothing with patches galore and a knife in his boot. In the background is a beautiful sunset sky and a few "Divians" or flyers--people with wings. Below him is the City of Quilia, a town with red roofs and towers abutting a bay of blue water.

BEHOLD! The absolutely stunning cover art for Flightless, my solo-written debut, is here. I'm so excited to share my social justice fantasy heist with y'all. @sumrow.bsky.social absolutely killed the artwork. Some details I particularly love are in the comments.

well most of my coworkers said they wouldn't be in today, and even my dad admitted it probably wouldn't be worth opening, and no one has told me anything to the contrary (we open at 5am), so I'm going to just stay in bed. snow day!

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

What Amazon’s 'Ask This Book' Feature Means for Authors | Kindlepreneur Amazon’s Ask This Book feature adds AI-generated explanations inside Kindle ebooks. Here’s what it does, how it works, and why authors are pushing back.

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash β€” don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it.

French ban on β€˜forever chemicals' in cosmetics and clothes to enter into force A French ban on the production and sale of PFAS chemicals – known as 'forever chemicals' as it takes them so long to break down – comes into effect on Thursday. The ban targets a wide range of…

France’s ban on forever chemicals, approved by lawmakers in February 2025, bans the production, import or sale of any product for which an alternative to PFAS already exists. Some industrial exemptions remain, but the move sets a regulatory benchmark.
