I'm really sorry for continuing to spam this, but at this point this GFM is no longer just about getting our stuff back but making sure Nic & I can stay on our feet in the mean time while we look for work. Anyone who can boost or contribute is greatly appreciated. You will keep a trans couple safe.

I have yet another round of applications in and I'm starting to worry. We have immigration things next month and I haven't been able to land a job. I feel like I got my wife out and I'm going to stall out at the finish line. If you can help or share, thank you.

Governments who create killing zones in the middle of a Holocaust, to lure starving families with the promise of food, and name them "Gaza Humanitarian Fund" sites, are pure evil.

Now, I may not be overpaid think tank talking head or a pollster with techbro friends who post Nazi memes in the group chat, but it appears to me that being openly and vocally supportive of trans rights is somehow part of a successful electoral strategy in a nation gripped by transphobic media.

Even when I'm not GM-ing a Powered by the Apocalypse game, I kind of can't help but bring that "play to find out what happens" mentality to my table. It's the only way that roleplaying feels natural and not like a railroad to me.

Not Cordelia @notcordelia.bsky.social · 2h

I have ideas for situations, but nothing is set in stone until it happens at the table, and nothing really happens at the table that isn't me intentionally making what I hope is the strongest choice to stay in conversation with my players.

It is built within language already used. Remember, think about how we talk about Jefferson and other enslavers on the whole in media. Consider the way white people talk about their ancestors here who were enslavers and terrorists. They use soft language analogous to this.

What a treat it is to watch the vice president of the United States approach this "young republican-I love Hitler" text scandal with the old "kids will be kids!" defense and then to find out all of them are like 25 to 35 years old.

My players have gotten to a point where they're all self-motivated in terms of moving their character forward, and it is in fact very easy to just respond to their choices w/o having to build a skeletal chassis around the session where you wind up not using half of your prepped material.

My prep for my World of Darkness game has become increasingly minimalistic, and I think it's for the best. I know you aren't supposed to GM Storyteller games as a sandbox experience, but honestly, I think it's sort of the only way I can begin to approach the factional politics/lore w/o going crazy.

I hope very much that we white queers can also see how much Black folks’ rights are being decimated right now, and how much POST-CIVIL-WAR RECONSTRUCTION, which was already compromised, is being torn apart right now.

There’s a lot going on for Trans folks, but holy shit, y’all. This is grim.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat

Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

I can't begin to describe the number of ways that estrogen has given me a higher quality of life. My brain feels like it's my own. My body feels like it's my own. Sex is indescribably better on estrogen. Anyways, if you want to get on HRT, you should because it is pretty fucking aces.

In two months, I will have been on estrogen for five years, and what the fuck is time y'all.

I've been super proud to work with a bunch of talented authors including @judedoyle.bsky.social and @taliabhatt.itch.io on this package over the past couple months — it's six great stories about the weird, scary moment both the internet and trans people are in

The future of being trans on the internet

The internet has long been a source of information and support for transgender people. Now, trans rights and the internet itself are in a moment of crisis. What happens next?

Bill Barilko disappeared that summer (in nineteen fifty one)
He was on a fishing trip (in a plane)
The last goal he ever scored (in over time)
Won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another till nineteen sixty two
The year he was discovered
