I heard how bad the SECTION 31 movie but I really did underestimate how awful it could be. Like everyone signed the contract then found out there was a $10k budget for the film and they cribbed from 35 other scifi properties.

I started working with a local group to try to get our city named a haven city for Q+ folks - if he gets elected it will be huge for smaller cities too!

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:

Feeling a little bit more disabled than usual, as a treat. Trying not to be grouchy with myself.

The Ken in Yellow @ Lone Star Zine Fest @kenlowery.bsky.social · 2d

Heyyyy Austin, I'll be at Lone Star Zine Fest this weekend!

If you're in Austin come out and say hi. It's free, family-friendly, they got zine-making workshops, the works.

the Lone Star Zine Fest poster, which reads
"The 2025 Lone Star Zine Fest
Oct. 11 & 12th at Blue Genie
6100 Airport Boulevard
Austin, TX
LoneStarZineFest.org"

The art is an old-fashioned computer desk. The computer and monitor have post-its that read
"12-6 PM"
"Free!"
"All ages!"
"100+ vendors"
"Comics jam"
"door prizes"
"zine making"

The Lone Star Zine Fest layout. Bannerless Games is at table 85, just to the left of the entrance.

I’m more of a sweater sapphic. And many, many flannels. I need more. “Many” is wildly aspirational.

She’s also disabled and we’re quite broke so if you want to make a donation for her birthday please do!
I love you!

We want to make Dayton a Q+ sanctuary city and I’m desperately hoping he gets elected because it will charge up our city commission. Make them braver.

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.

From Catch the Fair One to True Detective: Night Country, Kali Reis has shown us what Indigenous strength looks like beyond stereotypes. Now she’s stepping into Raccoon City bringing that same energy to one of horror’s most iconic franchises.

I'm struggling to buy groceries this week! I am diabetic but healthy food is expensive! A good way to resist fascism is supporting the survival of a Black Trans artist!

I mean… yeah, it’s why I can’t go to one! I am too disabled - a solid blow to the head could gork me. You’re absolutely correct.
