David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth.

Peaceful weekends are a distant memory of the past.

Just finished watching Castration Movie on the Criterion Channel. It was amazing.

Damn. End of an era. I'm not even vegan or vegetarian and I still went there and loved their food. www.brooklynvegan.com/long-running...

Plastic, Prism, Void by Violet Allen — Debut trans romantasy — LittlePuss Press

A time-skipping quick-quipping trans romantasy supernova! "An utterly essential, astounding new voice." —Charlie Jane Anders

Ever since I lost my dad a month ago I just can't stop thinking about him and crying. Listening to his itunes playlist on his phone helps, makes me smile. I always loved how my dad was not a Prince fan but the only song he loved from Prince that he has on his playlist is "Baby, I'm A Star." ✨

Just saw Wicked: For Good. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It had major pacing and plotting issues that sucked the energy and concentration out of the whole thing, and it was emotionally stifling. To sum it up for me anyway, I was underwhelmed, but at least I saw it.

I think we should normalize telling our friends that we love them more. there are many different kinds of love other than romantic. it also feels nice to say it and to hear it ❤️

I accidentally set my toaster on fire at 2am last night and honestly that feels like the vibe this week is going for.

i feel like i'm the only one that's not connecting with rosalia's LUX. It's not that I didn't like it, but it's being treated as this mind-blowing life-changing experience and I'm just not hearing/feeling that at all.

another week, oh god another week

15 days later and I still can't believe I lost my dad so quick and suddenly, i'm just stunned. I miss my daddy so much beyond words can ever explain.

I lost my daddy to a sudden and shocking heart attack yesterday. I'm shattered. He was my best friend in the whole world.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Imagine if trans publishing could be a job instead of a vocation

there is a reason why I cannot pay myself to publish books even though we have an audience that wants them and it is because the margins are miniscule

You know what else should be more expensive? Books!

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

look i’m just gonna say it, the nytmag article about women taking testosterone activated everyone’s latent misogyny. you all need to shut the fuck up and stop scolding women for wanting their sex drive back or because they fuck men and you’re assuming their husbands are losers

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Vera Drew visited the Criterion Closet a year ago and there’s no video of her talking about the movies she picked?

Anyway this is my appeal, once again, that if you ever have an interesting take or critique of a trans book you read, WRITE IT DOWN. Make a free blog and publish it! It's a desert out here, and the only way to become a critic is to just start doing it. Start now. Start yesterday.

Isobel Bess@echosequence.space · 10mo ago

Aside from the obvious factor of our (uneven) material oppression, hostility to criticism remains the biggest stumbling block to the development of a real trans creative and intellectual scene. Until we develop a robust critical apparatus, it seems like we'll just keep playing pretend.

there is dignity in just being it is ok to be

At an industry thing for LittlePuss and was chatting about Gendertrash with ppl, expressing amazement it's been moving the numbers it has been (which I am still amazed by). It was then in real-time I realized in addition to everything else we did print a book with two hot girls kissing on the cover

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.
