October Energy:

Whatever else I do in 2025, I promise this to you:

I will always celebrate my trans family's thirst posts, W's, and little moments of joy.

And I will always commiserate with y'alls losses, struggles, and pain.

There's not enough of that in this world, and there should be. 💜

For my newsletter, I interviewed Chastity Bowick, the new executive director of the Marsha P. Johnson Interview about what white trans folks (and cis people) can learn from the Black trans community who have always been under this type of overwhelming oppression. www.burnsnotice.com/black-trans-...

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

Why have votes when you can just ask the mid wizard book bigot what she thinks and have it breathlessly covered in all the institutionally-transphobic corporate press and rubber stamped by the most beige politicians imaginable.

The fact that the entire U.K. establishment is being led by the nose by a mid wizard book bigot who has no qualifications to opine on biology, gender, law, human rights or even literature is the sign of a very sick society.

SNP ministers have failed to pay their £250k bill, six months after the Supreme Court ruling. The rumour is that they're trying to stop @ForWomenScot taking further action against the government, but that plan has a rather large flaw. Me.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!
