I've been busy in the real, so I haven't been able to post updates here as often. Work is painful.

Anyway, Mechagenesis: Cynthetic Dream is up to Chapter 22.

Call your senators and your house rep.
Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go.
Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

It’s not enough to simply boycott Nexstar and Sinclair over this issue. You’ve got to boycott their advertisers and let them know you’re doing it because of who they advertise on.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

George Floyd was also a father and didn’t receive an ounce of the empathy being shown to Charlie Kirk who mocked and insulted George Floyd.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

It's a slur 100% of the time. There is no legitimate purpose for using it; it refers to a thing that doesn't exist

There are still going to be a horde of HR100s on the server once containment ends, just like there are so many Kimmys.
