This interview I did with Jasper at Queer Conjure dropped today, and it's one of my favorites I've done! It was my first time being interviewed by another trans guy, and it's super cute how we vibed together. We talked about *everything* lol. Enjoy!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

So I started T a month ago (surprise!). I’ve been thinking a lot about the particular joy and grief of starting medical transition in this terrifying time, and the strangeness of feeling myself come together while everything else falls apart. I wrote about it here. open.substack.com/pub/queerlyd...

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

The Kybalion has a Principle of Gender and it sucks. Here’s mine:

Ariana Serpentine’s Principle of Gender: You know what your gender is better than anyone else possibly can, and figuring it out and actualizing it makes you a happier and more complete human being.

This was made for me by @paxgeoffrey.bsky.social who continues to lift up the work I’m doing here in WNC. I haven’t posted a lot about it. News cycles have moved on, people have forgotten. But it’s still bad and there’s still a lot of need here.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe:

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.
