we raised $110k for trans kids & $31k for immigrant kids almost all through bsky! There is NO WAY anything i did in meatspace could have made that happen. We changed lives, & we did it through community and art and the power of the internet (& the our flag means death fandom, cast, & crew)!!

btw i don't agree with folks who say posting here doesn't matter because every time i help organize an event, people show up in real life & tell me they heard about it here on bluesky

it absolutely matters if you make a habit of organizing & sharing practical suggestions of stuff to actually do

I know i don't have much of a platform here but in case anyone sees this & has a little extra $, #Transanta is very close to my heart. I don't do Angel Tree (BOO Salvation Army), but this can give joy to a trans person who may not have a lot of kindness in their life 🩷🤍🩵

Four years on HRT.
I love you all, thanks for listening thanks for understanding.
Four years ago I made an appointment with Planned Parenthood for a general consultation on hrt, “out of curiosity”. I left that appointment with a prescription for estradiol and spironolactone. The next day I started hrt. This morning I woke up feeling rested after a rough night of stress dreams about working in a bar and running out of glasses. I don't know, you tell me what it means. But I woke up and took my meds and got dressed and made coffee like I do every morning as this swamp witch of a woman I've allowed myself to grow into. It has been a very rough year. At the time of this writing I'm still unemployed from August. I was harassed at my last job and had gross jokes made about me by management, and got fired two weeks after reporting it. I was booted from a booking agency along with the other trans woman on the roster the same week as the initial anti trans Executive Orders dropped. I still have no representation. Every day I worry the shoe is gonna drop for us. And every day I am saved by the strongest people I know: other women, trans men, trans women, nonbinary and genderqueer people, and the occasional ally who is truly in it to help. Being trans is hard. It is a true foundation test for every relationship you have and I'm not exaggerating. By changing yourself into who was always there, you run the risk of alienating those who prefer your early material, so to speak. But it's worth it. I promise you, the work and the tears and the pain are worth the joy and love and relief that knowing brings. If you think it's for you then go on hrt. There are resources easily available on any device you're reading this on. Don't die not knowing. I hate how meme-ified the shot from I Saw The TV Glow has become because it is genuine and true and important to remember that there is in fact still time. I love you all. Go eat something big and fatty. -Amelia Riggs December 11th 2025 Durham NC Amy

when folks add my patches to things, our energy collaborates. my intentions making the art are transmuted into something new and uniquely expressive to the wearer. we cast a spell together, ingredient and execution. it’s my favorite part of making this kind of art.

I went downtown to run some errands and it started snowing! A big surprise but it didn’t last long.
Here are a few things I saw while walking around.

gay, trans, non-binary, neurodivergent people healing and rediscovering (or maybe in some ways discovering for the first time) their capacity for joy, optimism and self-love is honestly, to me, a genuine act or process of subversive, non-violent, revolutionary liberation and empowerment

Looking for stories. I'm especially interested in ones around disability rights, trans rights, queer rights, women's rights and queer joy.

There's nothing quite like the joy of living one's truth!

This piece embodies the euphoria I have about transitioning and living as my true self. Being a big, beautiful trans demoness is such a joyous thing for me. And this very much embodies my gender euphoria. :}

Art by @sepiaflux.studio
A big, voluptuous demoness with pale skin and long, curly blonde hair. She is wearing an outfit consisting of a black silken top inlaid with lace and patterns of skulls and a black mesh skirt. Her nails are painted black and she is wearing bronze accessories: bracelets, a crown, and a brooch accented with red jewelry. The demoness has black lipstick and eye shadow and is smiling contentedly.

The event wrapped up safely and successfully! We talked about the challenges senior trans people face, and unpacked the structural lack of support and connection—while also shining a light on resilience, joy, and the fun parts of trans life. It was such an empowering and meaningful space.

Leeminarium ( @leeminarium.bsky.social ) is bringing us to the Victorian era, with a T4T husband and wife trying on each other's clothes in a private moment of gender euphoria. It'll be filled with decorative details and lots of trans joy!

Digital art of two characters, one in armor posing peacefully while holding the hilt of a sword, while the other, a dryad covered in flowers, wraps their arms around them. At the top is a colorful banner that says "We've Always Been Here" and at the bottom is a small box that says "Page artist."

It's difficult to feel joy when the national leadership has targeted trans communities with outrageous lies. The FORGE team brainstormed a list of things that help us care for ourselves, our loved ones, and have a little bit more joy or peace: forge.tips/small-things
[Image: A tan background with images of a tree drawing, a person playing guitar, and a cat. Text in small bubbles lists small things that bring joy. Text: "Small things for hard times. Sending someone a postcard; Splashing cold water on my face; A cold soda after being out in the heat; Looking at the moon; Listening to a song on repeat. forge.tips/small-things" FORGE logo.]

You know what's hot? Joy. Absolutely hot as fuck.

Which is why trans people are so hot and transphobes are not.

Book rec: My Child Is Trans, Now What? A Joy-Centered Approach to Support by Ben Greene of Good Queer News.

Greene, a white trans man, reframes transness as a call for joy and celebration. Parents, teachers, relatives, etc. of trans people, especially young ones, will benefit from this book.
A white person's hand holds up a book, My Child Is Trans, Now What by Ben V. Greene. The cover is off white and has a simple line drawing that forms the profile of a child. A strip of trans pride colors runs vertically.
