haven't been on this site in probably a year BUT: my book and several others that I really love are currently available for free, and you should pick them up for all your trans reading needs

The degree to which The Neon Demon is for the sickos cannot be overstated

Barely a vaguepost because this happens constantly but I just don't feel like you can put out a submission call for "extreme horror" specifically and then list a bunch of things you don't want in it that you find too far. especially if those things are frequent in the genre

probably going to go into a slightly unmanageable level of debt for it but I guess I gotta get the hysterectomy ASAP huh

You don’t have to take HRT or get surgeries to be trans, but remember that the anti-trans movement is moving mountains to try and prevent your access to those things—pursuing medical transition in one form or another is a subversive act, not a conformist one.

I find it totally unbearable when a genre story stops dead to have some fantasy princess be like "pronouns are important!" in the most straightforward internet-speak terms possible. On a craft level it destroys momentum and believability, and socially, you aren't reaching anyone that way.

we've been working on this fish tank for a couple months now and it's reached the point where i've just mail-ordered some snails to kill the current, more annoying snails that I hate

unfortunately I wanted mickey 17 to be way more fucked up and way less cute than it was but I knew exactly how it would go walking in so I can't be too disappointed

people love to say that they're fine with trans people, they're just "not sure about the sports thing", except as soon as you dig into that they'll start talking about "biological males"

everyone has got to stop whining about "porn addiction"

David Lynch: "Most films reflect the world, and the world is violent and in a lot of trouble. It’s not the other way around. The films don’t make a peaceful world violent—the violent world made the films."

reading the new jeff vandermeer book while mildly sick which feels like the best way to do it

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

been scrolling on reddit a little recently for some reason and the main thing i've learned is that straight people fucking hate their partners 90% of the time. jesus

read the attack helicopter story again this morning on a whim. still runs laps around every other short story/author in those spaces. do you ever think about how every single person responsible for that is still getting successful book deals/blurbs/etc

MAKE BORING ART FROM A PLACE OF SAFETY OR MAKE BRAVE ART FROM A PLACE OF FEAR

will never stop thinking about how the day after the election my cis coworker, who I had very intentionally not come out to, publicly informed me that she was so sorry it was about to get bad for trans people and it must be so hard for me, in a workplace where I've purposefully never said i'm trans

I think a lot of (cis) people simply do not understand that being trans isn’t just a sex thing. The idea that one might transition to be happy (and not purely for sexual gratification) legitimately doesn’t occur to them.

As hard as the world can be for trans people sometimes its important to remember that all our haters are dumb

waited so long to do my shot this week I almost gave up and missed a week entirely but just did it out of spite. don't forget your shot this week folks

write and read shit that would get you laughed out of a netflix pitch or kicked out of a gender studies class. imagine yourself as very fat or extremely sick or completely covered in some kind of filth. write the disgusting form of power it makes you feel

re: today's horror movie discourse, I will simply say: if someone claims their art "isn't political," you don't really have to take them seriously ever again. that's all!

really really liked this one. felt like a treat to watch the whole time

this afternoon i am going to go see the brutalist instead of microwaving my brain online
