The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

I have been absent from social media lately, busy with a new move, new job, and book edits, but I am honored and floored to be a finalist!! ✨🪽👁️🪽✨

Yours Celestially by @al-distortion.bsky.social‬ has been selected as an #SPSFC 4 finalist. spsfc.space/2025/06/05/s... Judge: "I needed this in my life right now at a time where I had more than a few negative thoughts in my head about being who I am sometimes."

I read this as a judge and found it to be a wonderful science fiction fairy tale filled with Heart and whimsey. @al-distortion.bsky.social has crafted a comical, poignant, heart-breaking sci-fi fantasy. Loved it.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

This is my favorite of Darby's books so far! (I have a weakness for liminal spaces and 80s vibes and who doesn't love a choose-your-path book?) Did I mention I also did the cover painting?

An oil painting of a pink orange and purple sunset with a large sun and ominous clouds above an abandoned mall shrouded in trees. The wet pavement is cracked and reflects the sky and an eerie blue light glows through the windows of the mall and out of cracks in the pavement
