Gender Outlaw came out May 12, 1994, it’s still making people laugh, cry, and gasp out loud in recognition. Thanks for your trust in me and support all these years. Oh, and fuck you very much, Donald Trump—I’ve sold more books than you have.

My first post on Substack, in response to Trump’s damned executive order on sex and gender.

On the other hand, the surest way to get Elon ejected from Trump’s orbit would be for everyone to start calling him President Musk.

@dulciearnold.bsky.social Why, hello! ❤️

I’m begging people to turn on the ability to switch on captions when you make a zoom+ meeting. Some of us have sensory processing disorders. Some of us are deaf or hard of hearing. It’s so easy to consider us. You don’t even have to transcribe anything. Just allow us to turn on captions! Fuck!!

Happy Star Trek Day to you. Live long, and prosper 🖖❤️
