Two MKs (one Jewish, one Palestinian) disrupted 45/47's "Victory" lap in the Israeli parliament. All they did was hold a sign that read: "Recognize Palestine!"

They were swiftly removed.

Grateful for a ceasefire. But this isn't justice. It isn't a "peace process" of any kind.

I read I Who Have Never Known Men and no one told me the protagonist was an intersex woman??? So now I'm telling you.

The word is not used, but it is very clearly described (though neither the protagonist nor the other characters quite understand it)

I didn’t know what to say before, with Thyme Travellers winning just now. All I have to say is please continue to support Palestinians loudly and without apology.

So much love to you all!

Hey, a reminder that I’m looking for work. I’m an award winning writer and editor serving the community. My book Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction just won an Ignyte award! I’m looking for clients, and would love to work in narrative games.

Get in touch with me!

To make it very clear, this is not a spoiler, it's discussed right at the beginning.

I have many thoughts about it, but I want to write a longer review (G-d willing, soon).

Based on her description of congenital feminine traits, it's possible she had the same intersex variation I have (presumed De La Chappelle or Klinefelter syndrome). It's a wild bit of representation (that no one's heard of).

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of!

Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

Absolute best sentence I found in the WSJ just now:

"Potential buyers have balked when they learned the property came with an atom smasher."

Looking at the Portland videos, I feel like the US is about five minutes away from reinventing the Two-Tailed Dog Party.

Went to wishlist this only to realize that THIS is the game with the "rooftop" screenshot that is separately also going around! So now I'm... wishlisting it twice as hard? Yes, I think that is what happens.
