Policing women on having to look a certain way is *not* “ensuring the safety of women or the privacy and dignity of women" by any definition, and anyone saying otherwise is no kind of feminist. The masks are fully off.

Sure, I'll write my story about trans lesbians navigating denial and realization in a hostile society 'non-political'. It's going to require the entire world to stop politicizing our existence first, though.
So apparently: "authors shouldn't be political," is doing the rounds again.
So let's go over this again.
• trans rights are human rights
• LGBTQ+ rights are human rights
• gay people deserve to marry and adopt
• Women's rights are humsn rights.
• Believe women
• black lives matter

Congratulations to Mr Duncan and I hope he finally can get his records
a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Our first book is really close to being ready for press so we decided to work on the ePUB version of it.
It turns out the theoretical 'knowing ePUB production is a hot mess' thing is entirely different from a practical 'discovering how much of a hot mess it is' experience.
