My Year of Raves
In my third year of being trans, I discovered that I like dancing. This was a surprise. Dancing is meditative, therapeutic – healing even. Now I try to go dancing as often as I can. This the story of ...

Last year, the universe sent me a message: it told me to start going to queer raves, and so I did.
It’s been a good time!
I wrote a retrospective on 2024, the year I discovered that I like dancing, plus reflections on parenting, music, fascism, fashion, and trans joy:

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

I have written this thread up into a blog post, it has more extensive links to sources & previous conversations about fake content & users on the internet. It's easier to share, if you want to make sure your friends don't get caught in that honeypot of a corporate blogpost aramzs.xyz/microblogs/d...
Don't trust the human slop telling you how much of the web is AI slop
Is a lot of the web algorithmically created content? Possibly! But don't share the argument that's trying to sell you on creating more fake content.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I have not logged into Twitter for a while but this was worth it
I generally try not to comment on Twitter but Isaac Chotiner is over there giving Semafor body blows right now and I just want to say I find it alarming that he's allowed to come for you without warning (asking for an interview)

Delete your Twitter account. That platform is built for right wing propaganda and harassment and that's it.
I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.
