model the behavior of someone who hasn't even heard of the *concept* of being against trans rights. take trans existence as a given. treat anyone who concedes to anti-trans talking points like an amoral freak, and don't give them an ounce of your public attention. say what is right with authority

everyone would agree that if you believe in what is right, it doesn't matter if it's controversial. i would go a step further and say: you should not even concede to the *idea* that what you believe is controversial.

trans rights is only controversial if you act like it's controversial.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I am so tired of getting bad news. It's exhausting.

I promise I am trying to get writing done, to finish patd and get it all done, but it's like every other day gives me a new reason to just go take a nap instead

I would so love if a national patron of the arts program became a thing everywhere. Culture deserves it, artists deserve it, this world is a shit and things like this directly make it better

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I love this, this is a phenomenal way to handle a system where you want players to make progress and grow stronger, but also show a world where life is cheap and people can die all the time

And so, it's done. I walked out of the office for the last time today, due to my layoff.

I'm a little less scared than I would have been thanks to all of y'all who enjoy my work. If you'd like to support me, please buy a copy of my trans magical girl work, and get ready for the incoming sequel.

The cover of a book called Hard Wired Island: Second Gig (it's a mystery and you shouldn't worry about it.) The background is a daytime street in Grand Cross, Hard Wired Island's cylindrical space station city; the street continues on far into the distance until it's following the curve of the cylinder up and out of sight.

Five people are crossing the street in the foreground, Beatles Abbey Road Cover style: a mysterious white-haired woman with heavy cybernetic augments and a heavy coat, a large man with a purple suit and a nice hat, a pink-haired punk woman with shredded jeans, a big green jacket, and a baseball bat on her shoulder, a purple-haired rocker with a varsity jacket, carrying an amp and a guitar; and a dark-haired human-like android lady dressed like an emo. They're being watched by two armed surveillance drones (latest fad).

There's also a cat sitting on a window several stories above the ground in the BG, which I think is neat.
