‘Black Hole Science’ experiments to stay warm after snow
My second entry for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. A college course that excited me was on religious themes in literature. My favorite part of ‘Black Hole Science’ is called ‘Lives of the Saints.’
Thank you for the strange fiction of ‘Rainbear!!!!!!!!!’
My first entry for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. Living past hope, everything matters and nothing matters. This doesn’t make sense, so it’s tough to resolve it. But this book drills into it.
People need to be allowed to keep their ID cards
I hope everyone is aware of the threat to đłď¸â⧠ď¸trans Kansansâ IDs. If I had a Kansas ID, Kansas would ask me to surrender my ID. It’s nonsense. There’s never been a reckoning. Anti-trans moral panic is hotter than ever.
We need to talk about the Heritage Foundation âenchiladaâ
If youâre trans, lesbian, gay, bi, or a woman, youâre not safe from these people. The version of the USA that the Heritage Foundation wants is governed by whiteness and by Christian authority. Don’t let them do this to people of any age.
Beast, in or out of a net
Art by Tucker Lieberman. Everything moves in the twilight: the beast, the net, the Moon, the Earth it orbits, you. Nothing dances in the same place twice.
6 things mystified me in the trans film âI Saw the TV Glowâ

There were gay Nazis
âBad Gaysâ by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller. Weimar-era Germany had LGBTQ society and culture and an early movement for LGBTQ legal rights. Of course, that was lost. And some of the Nazis were gay.
More shameful nonsense from âGay Shameâ
Regarding trans people, Gareth Roberts asks: âWho exactly invited the vampire inâ? A continuation of my criticism of the âsex-realistâ aka âgender-criticalâ aka transphobic book âGay Shameâ by Gareth Roberts, published in April 2024.
Gareth Roberts says accepting trans people is âGay Shameâ
Yet another LGB-minus-T âsex realistâ book hits the shelves. Roberts wonât engage the academic work or mere existence of any trans people. He name-drops a couple, but weâre all either airheads or criminals to him.
121 things I want cis men to stop doing
Conveniently, all of them are sentences in the same article by the same cis man. Cis menâs name is Andrew Sullivan and I want them to stop doing what he did in his April 9, 2021 article on Substack. This is not Star Wars.
Yet another pro-discrimination argument
Always follow the typos. They reveal what editors arenât researching. Why does a national newspaper pay a columnist for a 2,800-word anti-transgender opinion essay? More mysteriously: If thereâs a typo, what does it imply?
New book on marriage deliberately ignores gay couples
Are we saving civilization yet? Brad Wilcoxâs February 2024 book, âGet Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.â
