This is the real problem of Covid. I chose the risk level of avoiding crowds. You chose to go to a superspreader event. We both shop at the same grocery store, but you refuse to wear a mask. I am forced to take my risk, PLUS yours.

Happy Labor Day

honestly funny when people are like “what would trans people have done 100 years ago before HRT? gotcha” like oh my god is the self contingent upon historical context? is gender a dialectic between individual and society? should we throw a party? should we invite Judith Butler?

Ready or Not AUDIOBOOK (Lindsey Dorcus, narrator), now avail from Tantor Audio wherever audiobooks are sold, is about 13-yo Justin who must stand up to bigotry or let fear hold him back. Sample excerpt: tinyurl.com/2pv88y3v #writingcommunity #kidlit #writerscommunity #mglit

Thinking once again about Jenna Barton’s incredible road side billboards

Saying the police “did the best they could” when armed government agents shoot four people—including a cop and a random hospital administrator in the head—while trying to enforce a $2.90 public transit fare evasion feels like a society giving up on creating a better world.
