Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!! Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; I’m hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! 🙏 🙏

SEVENTEEN more songs coming your way tomorrow, as we rocket from the 4s up through the 7s, and the transiness grows by leaps and bounds! get caught up! 🎸

Welcome to #TransTuesday! You may not know this, but trans people are human beings (it's true). And that means art made by humans, even cis ones, can speak to the transness in so many ways Let's talk about how and why, and dive into the 1s-3s on my 10-point scale of TRANS ALLEGORIES IN POP MUSIC!

Übrigens ein ganz tolles Comic. Die Voyager kommt gerade Zuhause an, doch der Empfang läuft nicht so ab wie gewünscht. Tolle Story von @susanlbridges.bsky.social und @tillybridges.bsky.social, super gezeichnet/coloriert von Angel Hernández, @charliekirchoff.com. Empfehlung für alle Voyager Fans! 🖖

For those who aren’t aware, I was unemployed for 16 months. Right after I got a job, our cat was diagnosed with cancer. We’re doing better than most, but we’re also not that different from a lot of other creatives out there. So please support writers, artists, and small businesses when you can. 💕

Replying to @tillybridges.bsky.social

Thank you so much, and yes, I must say, typing loving words on a social media platform really is the very least one could do. Cis people of good will need to be doing much, much more than we've done thus far.

in a highly trans-restrictive society, never underestimate the power of the allegory it allows us to be seen in ways we otherwise might not be able to because how many songs about being trans have you ever heard on the radio?

I try to imagine it—hearing a vicious, down-is-up simulacrum of my lived experience wielded as a tool & a weapon, every single day, on the heels of all the other ways, implicit & explicit, I'm dehumanized by my society, culture, & politics—& I can't. I only know how it looks from here, & it's vile.

just got to be moral/emotional/physical/experiential support for another trans girl taking her first dose of E she did great, we had the longest biggest hug afterward but getting to be there for her, to help her through it, to witness it? just as emotional as my own first dose goodness 🩷

i used to spend my life hiding in t-shirts and jeans and it’s so bananas that now i can wear them in a slightly different cut but feel relaxed and comfy wild what happens when they’re no longer part of a costume

If you are a white person and a non-white person repeatedly tells you what their name is and you insist on calling them a name of your choosing, you are engaging in racism, regardless of you feeling you hold no racial animosity or malice.

four down for those just seeing this i previously went through seven huge books, most written 150+ years ago, highlighting and marking pages i’m now through turning four of those into transcribed passages and notes three more to go (~1000 pages) then the writeup keep goin’ keep goin’! 😮‍💨

🎃 Killy Witches 👻@tillybridges.bsky.social

knocked the next one out pretty quick, but it had (relatively) less to transcribe/notes to write, and MUCH bigger text. the inside is literally just a physical scan of two books, one from the 1840s and the other 1880s-ish three more books to go, but one of those is 3-in-1 and has 900 pages onward!

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly: bodies involve washing away bad oils so that we can add the good oils and if bodies weren’t a scam they’d just make the good oils in the first place and be done with it this has been pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly

posted this a year ago today and way too many cis people still seem to have not gotten the message

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?
