![The cover of my book, Lonely in Happy Town. Designed by Tyler Cleroux. The font is reminiscent of Animal Crossing and there are two gaming controllers with hearts on them, on a pink backdrop. E.M. Anderson, author of The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher and The Keeper of Lonely Spirits says it’s “[A] cozy but cathartic read about love, anxiety, and rebuilding community.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fuvsruzgllbgcionosop57mz/bafkreigbvpirxxxhtzvzxnu5nzh5imklq3b22kdke7j4wcep3vbdwsakia@jpeg)

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them.

In fact, many transphobic assaults are attacks on cis women who simply didn’t look “feminine” enough, and most of those women were women of colour.
This isn’t “well they’re a tiny minority” that’s not what’s happening.
This is only step one, so you better step the fuck up right now.

I just want to remind every cis person:
You cannot prove that you aren’t trans, except by following your assigned gender role to the letter. It’s an unfalsifiable claim.
They are doing this to us today so that YOU will feel compelled to fall in line tomorrow.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
