This is my new pinned post. Hi, I’m Lilah! I write comics and I am transgender and sometimes those things intersect, as in my OGN Girl Haven, which is a trans coming-of-age story/portal fantasy! I love my wife and my daughters and also cats and capybaras.

The world’s two most powerful sixth graders are having a sleepover with pizza and Mountain Dew and they’re gonna watch an R rated movie later
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

It needs to be said more often that the world is a better, more beautiful and more enriching place BECAUSE trans people are a part of it.

On this our saddest of days, not only should we remember those of us we have lost, but that we should renew our commitment to fight for a better world, where we can live without fear and hostility against us.
We have always been here, we are here, and we always will be here.
We have always been here, we are here, and we always will be here.

Not sure what’s worse: the “Quiet, piggy” itself, or the media’s tepid shrug at it. What a tawdry and disappointing time we live in. We deserve so much better than this.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it).
"If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

You have to do it because it’s her birthday. Those are the birthday rules. Also: buying trans books just feels good!
Today is my birthday, and in honor of that, please buy some trans books! They don't even have to be my trans books, just buy trans books! Every day! Forever!
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Getting to work with him on a short story for House of Mystery is one of the great highlights of my career. He was such a gifted and brilliant artist.

Mine is that empathy and compassion are crucial practices that we need much more of. When I see people on the right say that empathy is overrated or “empathy is bad actually” I find it deeply disturbing.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Literally no one cares about continuity between James Bond films.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Again I am asking trans people to share something good that is happening in your life. Can be something really small or even the absence of a bad thing! Hearing the good things in your lives gives me life and hope.

The other day I was lying in bed, looking out the window on a cloudy afternoon, woolgathering. Suddenly the sun came out and the fall leaves on the maple outside lit up as if they were glowing red hot. It was only for a few seconds but it reminded me that there is still so much beauty in this world.
