Who am I? I love to read and review trans and queer books, including horror, fantasy, scifi, & pretentious shit. Read & write (rarely) poetry. Married to @mnmeowma.bsky.social, enby parent of 3 beautiful adult queer kids in Saint Paul. Laid off by big tech. New account b/c MFA failed on old one.

Feeling like I always had to be the kind one, the peacemaker, the one who cuts tension with a joke. The one who just wanted female friends much more they wanted a romantic partner. Being treated like a monster for my 2m height Just be a soft marshmallow and don’t let anyone see that you’re no boy

lol well this is...stark

For lovers of beautiful and meaningful jewelry @peculiarityshop.bsky.social youtu.be/JGai8lz-TPA?...

Wow, such a heartbreaking performance! youtu.be/xPIMk4d4ulI?...

Today is my birthday, and I would like you to support trans authors about it!

🧵 Minneapolis early voting thru Monday. 7 full early voting days to go, but precincts in blue at/above 2022 *total* early vote. Orange = below ‘22’s total , but again, full week to go. Only 1 precinct (7-10 in Stevens Square) is below 70% of ‘22. Pace seems certain to smash 2018 midterm record (52k)

I love a nice autumn sumac gradient #mnwx

Do nocturnal animals party all day long

Fly-by-night You old fly-by-night; an ancient term of reproach to an old woman, signifying that she was a witch, and alluding to the nocturnal excursions attributed to witches, who were supposed to fly abroad to their meetings, mounted on brooms.

Democrats are Aesop's dog thinking that they'll get two bones if they drop trans voters and their friends and supporters (but the second bone is an illusion) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dog...

"Violet, what is desire?" you ask. And I say it is that thing that is neither hunger nor food. "But where does desire come from?" you ask. And I say it is from outer space. "Then what is love?" you ask. And I say it is two mirrors facing one another. "And what is fantasy?" you ask. And I say it is

add "Between My Legs" to a movie title: A Series of Unfortunate Events Between My Legs

big ups to @bowsnonk.bsky.social for designing this kick ass lisa frank unicorn cover for monoceros, you should all go commission her today!

I love this so very much!

Carved a Jack O Lantern. Haven't done it in a few years. #pumpkin #halloween #jackolantern

google ad brings together AI, ('merican) football, and furries. How did google figure out how to combine three things that I have very little interest in?

"In Your Shadow" by Maya Deane is amazing, but I also LOVED the sea horror of "On Her Head a Crown of Twelve Stars" and "The Jealous Wives of the Sea." Such a great collection of stories!

Never give up. You won't ever finish crafting your cursed crown of ancient bones until you get out there, wander through twilight forests, and follow ghosts to their mossy forgotten tombs.

They are all like that They will adopt whatever beliefs they think will get them votes Yes, this is horrible It also makes them vulnerable to you Scream at these awful plastic people until they adopt whatever positions you want They seek power over you. It's what they deserve

@littlepuss.net Little Puss LOVES books so freaking much. The cover is embossed with glossy letters. The cover itself is matte, which makes the photo look like a photo, and just like a 1970s pocket book, the back is filled with ads, the backlist, and a statement about the typefaces

A few things are at work. 1) the Zales training program at the time was SURPRISINGLY good. 2) my family are antiquers by trade so I've been trash picking my entire life. Mom taught me the sound of sterling when I was a kid. 3) rock autistic with a hyperfocus..

@bitterkarella.bsky.social just finished Quaint Folk. Starts with dread unease but pivots to a terrifying conclusion. Learned about both beloved bigoted children's author Enid Blyton & a horror author who influenced Lovecraft, Margery Williams. A brilliant poison pen letter to another "moldy" author

When I got a local phone number after moving so many spam calls stopped. Today, I had my first one since changing my number. Ah, well

Getting into the spirit of the season

Anyway, transphobes fuck off forever, support trans authors

I heard Time Warp in a hardware store yesterday, a HARDWARE store!

Less than one week away from the holiest night of the year! Are you looking to fill your Hallowe'en with Gothic horror?

Once again

We really can't state enough that the state of trans rights is not a fight for progress, it's against regression We haven't made real progress in ten years. We've been fighting to keep fascists from stripping away rights we enjoyed unquestioned a decade ago
