The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Hereโ€™s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Okay, hereโ€™s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If youโ€™re following me, itโ€™s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

The Great Creator Reset + discount Cybertrucks, soup drops, Douyin goes global, a PNUT memecoin lawsuit, peak "it bag", and Gen Z's midlife crisis

The TikTok ban represents the most significant and widespread deplatforming of creators in American internet history. It far surpasses Vine's closure in 2017 in both scale and impact, and stands to permanently reshape the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape.

Los Angeles Wildfires: Volunteer & Support Guide LA2050 is an initiative driving and tracking progress toward a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles.

I am guessing most folks are stretched tight on the money front, but if you are looking for solid LA orgs to give to, this is a great list. There are also asks for items that LA nonprofits on the ground are hoping to acquire. ๐Ÿ’šhttps://la2050.org/blog/la-wildfires-volunteer-and-support-guide

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

my first impression of LANA is that it's a subdued, laid-back approach compared to SOS but her vocals makes no track a skip

instant favorites: 30 for 30, chill baby, drive, another life, BMF

Stand with the workers.

Here's also a reminder that most book stores don't pay a living wage and that distinction between minimum and living wage really matters.

A blue Victorian-style wallpaper pattern fills the background. In the middle of the screen, in an elegant white frame, sits the following announcement:

โ€œEmily Settle at Feiwel and Friends has acquired in an exclusive submission THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY by debut author Elle Grenier.ย Thisย transfeminineย YA remix ofย The Picture of Dorian Grayย sees Dorian moved to jealousy towards her own portrait not only by vanity, butย alsoย a sudden awareness of the young man sheโ€™s expected to become, leading her through a dark web of obsession, paranoia, and terrorย as her portrait starts to change in her place. Publication is set for Winter 2026; Alexandra Levick at Writers House did the deal for world rights.โ€

Beneath this box, in a white, gothic font is the title THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY. Under that are the words โ€œWinter 2026โ€ followed by โ€œFeiwel and Friendsโ€.

ITโ€™S OFFICIAL!!

My YA debut is being published by @FeiwelFriends as part of the Remixed Classics collection! โœจ

THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY is my take on Dorian Gray, the relationship between transness, youth, and beauty, and how trauma can warp people beyond their own recognition.

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

If I learned anything in 2016 it's to choose your lanes and stick to them. There will be a million terrible things happening at once and no one is served by you getting so overwhelmed that you can't help with anything.

It doesn't mean you don't care about it. But we can each only do so much.
