Out of practice at social media but gonna do selfpromo of some of my comics for a pinned post

Identity is my #trans #plural superhero comic! David doesn't know he's a superhero... And he definitely doesn't know that superhero is a trans woman. Issues 1-3 out now.

Art by me. ko-fi.com/s/df5c3fa37b

Cover of Identity issue 1, showing a man looking into a mirror and seeing a woman in a jumpsuit reflected back at him

A comic page, showing a conversation between a superhero in a yellow costume and someone we can't see, speculating on whether various supers they know of are plural

So much for the golden shower, I can't even start
There's liquid in my bladder, but anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like, not even a bit
If you did then you would know why I can't give a shit!

There I was completely busting, desperate for a slash
All inside it's so frustrating, dodging toilet fash
Feel like everybody cares even if I go alone
So I might as well piss before I get a kidney stone

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

every time the government makes an announcement without thinking about whether it might ignite the Troubles again, I wonder if the British Transport Police will finally have some justification for existing

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.

It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.

It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Reject Trans Doom-Posting

This week I took the long train down to the south of England for my friend Robyn’s funeral. She died very suddenly three weeks ago, aged just 32. Robyn gave so much love to the world, and was so lo…

I think this is spot on but I'm not sure I'd dignify it by calling it a consensus. It's just a complete failure of imagination, an inability to realise that politics is the business of changing the world, not simply managing its decline.

If you think one person can't make a difference to a corporation, look at what two social media posts did to DC's marketing strategy

For ages I've wanted to write a story about how the death of liberal orthodoxy and proliferation of media streams has led to a world where reality is a political choice. The radically different ways different groups view trans people, COVID, racism...

The multiverse is real, and we're trapped in it

So, tangentially, this is a major part of why I look at DC’s pride specials with distrust: it’s all well and good to uplift LGBT+ voices when they are forced to celebrate Detective Chimp or whatever, but those same voices are thrown out the window as soon as they actually express themselves
