This is my new pinned post. Hi, I’m Lilah! I write comics and I am transgender and sometimes those things intersect, as in my OGN Girl Haven, which is a trans coming-of-age story/portal fantasy! I love my wife and my daughters and also cats and capybaras.

Transgender Awareness is actually a subset of situational awareness, in which you must be aware of all the transgenders in your vicinity at all times.

Lauren is AMAZING and WONDERFUL and THE BEST and anyone who hires her will be eternally glad that they did so!
Yesterday was my last day with Mad Cave Studios. I'm so grateful for the opportunities the last 3.5 years have brought me and the books these amazing creators produced during that time. I would really love to keep in touch and am open to new editorial roles. 💖

A chicken fried steak sandwich could fix me
we need a new "popeyes chicken sandwich" for everyone to flip out about. it doesn't need to be made by popeye's but it needs a similar huge cultural moment attached to it. i think a chicken fried steak sandwich could do it but perhaps the next sandwich to capture the zeitgeist is unknowable

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

this just flooded my brain with so much dopamine
This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

On this our saddest of days, not only should we remember those of us we have lost, but that we should renew our commitment to fight for a better world, where we can live without fear and hostility against us.

Not sure what’s worse: the “Quiet, piggy” itself, or the media’s tepid shrug at it. What a tawdry and disappointing time we live in. We deserve so much better than this.

You have to do it because it’s her birthday. Those are the birthday rules. Also: buying trans books just feels good!
Today is my birthday, and in honor of that, please buy some trans books! They don't even have to be my trans books, just buy trans books! Every day! Forever!
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
