‘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¸ââ§ 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
This 2024 movie is tough to crack, but finally I think I get it. In art, opaque describes a substance you expect to see through but can’t: paint, glass, a thin layer. Metaphorically, it’s something you can’t understand.

âJurisdictionâ isnât âchild custodyâ
Though if it were, Iâd say we should go look for the trans kids in custody. Republicans are mad about this. Perhaps they should take up their complaint with the trans kids they believe Tim Walz has shipped to the moon.

The Texas Republican Party believes in UFOs but not in trans people
What are you willing to believe ?In making trans people more visible, the Republicans intend to label us as ‘fake’ and force us into the closet. This is a Republican cover-up.

The Texas GOP platform is riveting(ly bad) political reading
I could not tear myself away from it. The Texas GOP’s âTemporary Platform and Resolutions” packs in a huge amount of religious superiority, prejudice, and self-contradiction.

January 6 â and transphobia â make some people feel empowered
They enjoy the illusion that theyâre the deciders. Post-2020 Trump supporters believe they have the power to decide how others already votedâand, if they don’t get their way, they’ll force it.

Why the Republicans chose Mike Johnson
Heâs been made House Speaker because heâs serving their goals. Their goal is patriarchy, white Christian nationalism, and unfettered environmental destruction. They will make elections obsolete if they can.

The biggest political donation in U.S. history is funding anti-trans laws
Anti-trans strategy isnât invented by âconcerned parents.â Itâs paid for. Laws against gender-affirming care aren’t the result of a concerned parent movement. They’re a well-funded political strategy.
