This is not a debate or anything like it. It is demonstrably a thing that's happening so fight for trans rights, which are human rights, or you're complicit in the campaign of erasure.
Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

We should have stopped
to watch the sunset,
smell the flowers &
take in the sea breeze.
Now the sky has
an atomic color,
it's raining ashes & all
the flowers have wilted.
& I don't know if we are
trapped in the Upside Down
or an actual bomb has been dropped
& I can't say what's worth.

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

Goodreads review of ALL THE STARS DIE by @jfdt.bsky.social: 'Taff blends cosmic dread with human messiness ... the collection’s best pieces hum with craft, warmth, and a mean little afterbite for readers who like their nightmares conversational and sad-funny.'

The beguiling of Gylfi... is Snorri's prose rendition of Norse Myth, written to explain to Christian Icelanders what their poetics meant.
I thought it'd be fun to render it into verse. The first part's here...

In the current issue of Forgotten Ground Regained, @mathjones.bsky.social has fun rewriting the opening of the Gylfaginning (part of the PROSE Edda!) as Viking verse.

My dark fantasy novel, set in Wales, has a neurodivergent main character and an excellent Kirkus review.☺️
