How to Build A Daughter
Do not teach her shame.
Instead teach her that the sun on her skin is all she must carry.
Do not name her burden.
Instead tell her she is moonlight, easy to bear, more than enough.
Do not let her hate her own body.
Teach her how her sinews and bones provide her with safe harbour.
And when the grief of this world threatens all you have taught her, tell her it is the world that must change instead of demanding
that she must change herself.
- Nikita Gill

CALIFORNIANS!!!!

You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.)

Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing.

This email made my day! If a writer did something you like, let them know! The positive response to my Ambush Bug story has been SO fun to see, but while writing I really was trying to honor the spirit of Ambush Bug creator Keith Giffen.

Email text: Thanks so much for writing Ambush Bug in the latest DC Halloween anthology! He’s my favorite character and I’m often afraid he will get lost and never be seen again. You did Giffen proud! May you be blessed with more AB to write!

I LOVE these DC Holiday Specials because they are fun reads!

And this one is going to get me into the spirit of Halloween.

I should clarify I’m not a New Yorker so don’t know how much impact it will have BUT given he’s the dem leader hopefully SOMETHING. Also reached out to my CA senators to put pressure on!

I ALSO GOT THROUGH TO A HUMAN AT SCHUMER'S 202 NUMBER - 202-224-6542

Make those calls, friends! Tell them to vote NO on any bill that cuts trans health care - tell them that trans healthcare saves lives and defending this is worth a shutdown.

Dylan Roth @dylanroth.bsky.social · 9d

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

Removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The House on Mango Street from Texas classrooms does not protect Texas kids. The Texas GOP and Governor Abbott need to answer for this. Shameful.

Trans kids,

Many of you won’t read this, because you don’t know you’re trans yet. You just think you’re wrong or broken. You’re not. You’re beautiful and wonderful. You just don’t fit into the box everyone expects you to. Embrace yourself first, and you’ll find your place.

Copies of Zatannic Panic, DC’s Halloween anthology, are here! I pitched a zany bonkers Ambush Bug story and still can’t believe my editor let me write this. @meganhuang.bsky.social absolutely crushed the art and brought everything to life!
