The Ball Four World Series. Really holding out hope for it.

I’ve tried to get my works published before as a cis man. No luck. Came very close twice.

No hard feelings but with grad school taking my time and writing energy, will probably be a few years before I get back to it.

Hi I’m Allison, a trans woman from NYC.

I’m currently toying with three projects: a hardboiled PI series set in NYC, a surrealist mystery set in West Virginia, and a generational epoch of two lady friends, one cis and one trans.

Nothing but outlines and a few pages thanks to grad school.

Have I been lonely and bored chatting up a bot/catfish before drawing a FaceTime-or-block line? Hell yeah. I like to be amused.

But at least put some elbow grease in it, computer.

The bot/spam on this dating app is just fucking lazy like c’mon lesbians are dupable when thirsty but no one’s THIS thirsty.

My provider is decent but I was asked like 3-4 times before I began HRT if I wanted to save my sperm. No fuck no why does everything come down to reproduction???

(I know why for anyone who wants to do a BlueSky Well Actually)

I love women. I have more to say about the subject but in broad strokes women are the very best and make life worth living

50ish but that number has fallen off a cliff since I started my internship last month.

Read some great stuff from trans writers Lily Seabrooke, Emily St. James, Hazel Jane Plante, and Victoria Zeller.

Laila Lalami’s “The Dream Hotel” is the best fiction I’ve read this year.

How many books have you read in 2025 so far? 📚

My brain cannot accept that their Football team is elite and their MBB team is ass.

I think we should make transition so easy to access and so socially accepted that cis people actually do start transitioning for absurd reasons

Can I DM you later? Because I'm yes-ing at a lot of this and I don't wanna share my thoughts while I have limited time. It's so deep and well-considered and deserves the same response.

In the meantime, this was my thoughts on the film and my transness: callherallison.blogspot.com/2025/08/alex...

There are distinct memories we carry from our childhood years. Some are real but most are a knitted assortment of fractured recollection, se...

You’re so smart tho! I love reading your stuff. I’m just worried people will think I’m an annoying Reply Gal. i really try to only say something if I have something to say and not speak for the sake of.

Oh sorry I thought it was too wordy and deleted it. Committed a hate crime against myself on National Coming Out Day 🤣

Focusing on Sylvia really drives the point home because that clip of her speaking is her railing on white LGs for sacrificing trans women in the Movement. What Mamdani did works on so many levels, even taking a swipe at Central Park white brunch LGs who think money and privilege will insulate them.

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

constantly saying this tbh

not having a robust public transit system is lesbophobic. gay girls need medium-long train rides so they can fall asleep on each other while coming back from fun day & weekend trips that take an unexpectedly sweet and flirty turn

And if you are trans and you don’t have love in your life and today is hard, know this: I love you. Others do too. You’re not alone.

Happy Coming Out Day! Sending love to those for whom today is hard.

I’ve just started coming out to folks and it feels special but thanks to (gestures broadly) the world, I’m still publicly closeted.

I’m very fortunate to be buoyed by a lot of love in my life. Every trans person deserves it.
