I learned today that one of my dear friends, Lyra, has passed away due to an illness. It was 29. I will miss it so much. Lyra was incredibly kind, caring, & friendly. We could talk both about silly computer things & deep trans stuff, and go deep with both. It will always have a place in my heart. 🧡

For my friend.

Lyra you were so kind, and so loved. You deserved so much more. I will miss you, friend. Thank you, for the joy of knowing you. Rest well.

I am so sad, and angry, and I miss my friend But I am so glad I got to know it, even if just for a little while

Lyra, you deserved so much better. Walk in dreams.

April — 2026 "Gender Criticals" are masters of Britain Only some very tired human rights lawyers stand before them TOILETS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

One unfortunate aspect of fandom is when you try talking about a piece of media online like "I'm interested in the stuff that's actually in the thing" and get stonewalled by the "I am going to fill every criticism and thematic gap with fanfiction" type

I'm confused, there's a story I like, but it contains bad things?? Am I supposed to like the bad things?? I don't want to like bad things, but I don't want to stop liking the story, so maybe they're good things actually I guess?? Yeah that must be it.

This is blackout poetry to me

You think I'm wrong about countryside ecology? I'll have you know I've drawn over 100 Sonic the Hedgehog OCs. Bet you're feeling pretty silly now, huh?

Or more generally, any attempt of folding queerness into a single aesthetic.

I'm increasingly put off by the tendency to apply "cute" and thus nice, comfortable, and non-threatening aesthetics to everything queer.

New year, new me. And another new me. And I'm keeping the old me too. And you know what, fuck it, maybe secret fourth me, I don't know.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

As I said recently in The Guardian: "Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them" So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

Franticly smashing the Invoke Support System ability but it's on cooldown so my character just keeps going "I can't use that right now!" in an increasingly frustrating upbeat tone.

polycule where each of the lesbians makes sure to wear a distinct lipstick color so they all know who the kiss marks are from—and so does everyone around them they have a lovely tradition where they turn any new girl in the polycule into a rainbow princess

i wish people would stop saying that people like me being driven forcefully out of public life and murdered is a distraction from stuff that matters

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Genres cannot be subversive. Art *within* genres can be, but a genre itself is not subversive, no matter how much you like it.

I'd pay good money just to see her argument for these biscuits being "biologically male"

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn. They are a threat to every organisation.

the judge who refused the doctor being harassed by a bigot at Fife the right to anonymity throughout these proceedings and ultimately led to her name and photos being published by the press and all of the harassment that has happened since should still step down you piece of shit.

All the claims against Dr. Beth Upton failed. She’s entirely vindicated and her evidence was found more reliable. Let’s see if a single paper actually represents that fairly…
