Back on Bluesky. Gonna try to be better about it, now that I'm getting rid of TikTok. If you already follow me, great! If not, I'm writing a queer sci-fi novel, I like to talk Stargate, and I've made some movies. Hello!

Just crossed 69,000 words in my novel. While it feels like a hell of an achievement, I’m just a big child. #writing

WE HAVE WITNESSED THE FUTURE A SCI-FI MANIFESTO FOR 2025 THEY WANT US PERTIFIED, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE HAVE SEEN. WE HAVE SEEN HEALTHY WORLDS, RICH WITH FLORA AND FAUNA. WE HAVE SEEN THRIVING SOCIETIES BUILT ON EQUITABLE FOUNDATIONS. WE HAVE SEEN SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT NOT BOUND BY CAPITAL. WE HAVE SEEN THE THE FAIRNESS AND KINDNESS OF HUMANITY. THEY WANT US COMPLACENT, BUT THEY CANNOT CONTROL WHAT WE BELIEVE. WE BELIEVE IN THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE FUTURE. WE BELIEVE IN LEARNING FROM THE PAST. WE BELIEVE THAT NO ONE PERSON IS SUPERIOR TO OTHERS, BUT WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT ONE PERSON CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. THEY WANT US TO BE SORROWFUL, BUT WE CHOOSE DEFIANT JOY. THEY WANT US HIDDEN, BUT WE CHOOSE BOLD AUTHENTICITY. THEY WANT US DESPONDENT, BUT WE CHOOSE RADICAL HOPE. THEY WANT US SUNKEN, BUT WE WILL SOAR. WELLES DAVIS

Check out our event page for some information about the day and the history. We'll also share some of our other favorite LGBTQIA2S+ inclusive children's books and discuss the struggles trans youth (and adults) are facing, and what we can all do to support. www.eventbrite.com/e/3-fries-sh...
Join the Fries for a very special private (FREE) podcast event. Across the country people, schools and organizations will be hosting readings with HRC’s Welcoming Schools program. We'll be reading some of the recommended books for this year's National Day of Reading, a Celebration of Trans Stories.
A thumbnail for a YouTube video that features the cast of the film Emila Perez, a couple Oscar trophies and text that says "THIS ISNT PROGRESS".
My analysis of Emilia Perez is on Patreon! From smug liberal self-congratulations to the industry's refusal to uplift actual trans stories - Emilia Perez is everything wrong with Hollywood's version of inclusivity. At any time, it's frustrating. Today it's rage-inducing. www.patreon.com/jessiegender
Had a few folks ask if they could use this SG Antifa graphic. Feel free to use, ya nerds, and welcome to SG-161 #antifa #stargate #scifi #gatesky
“Labels aren’t there to be used as a bludgeon. they exist so that you can feel the most you...”
I will keep telling these stories. We have always existed, and we always will.

I’ve gone through some panic-filled moments these past few days. But I know I have my community and no law can dictate whether I exist or not. Here’s a scene from my film, which is turning out to be more revolutionary than I knew. #queerfilm #filmsky youtu.be/pdwlFQlBjKs?...
The Revolution Will Not be Televised
-take more Polaroids, take pictures with film
- put an actual pen to actual paper
- talk to people in person
- preserve banned books and science books
- participate in community gardens
- run for office or school board in your town
We are definitely in the #badplace, #theupsidedown, the #mirroruniverse.
The same people saying “there’s no way he can end birthright citizenship” are the same people who said the Supreme Court would never place a President above the law by giving him broad immunity. #WeAreInTheSunkenPlace
Really? Not only the fascist in this video but everyone cheering for him. #donaldtrump #fascist #resist #nonbinary #transrightsarehumanrights
Come hang out with us tonight for our #stargatesg1 episode commentary!
(3/3) Guess what? Oh yes they will. Find your people, your communities. Take care of each other. Stand up when you can. They’ll be coming for more soon. #resist
(2/3) But this isn’t just about TikTok. This is the beginning of every terrifying thing that’s about to happen. That was laid out for us to see, but we went “nah, they’ll never do that.” #project2025
I feel at a loss. My town square of TikTok is now down, and by the time it’s back up they’ll have “gentrified” the shit out of it with squeaky clean facades, catering only to boat shoes bros. They’re doing that irl every day as well across the country. (1/3) #tiktokban
It's fun to be living in a moment when it seems like we are about to enter an era of terrifying authoritarianism OR an era of authoritarian overreach that immediately crumbles and gives way to something better, and these two things might happen simultaneously, and we won't know for sure for A BIT.
Rip #tiktok. Whatever you become to get around this will not be what you were. But sure, go ahead and take our circuses away. See how that works out. #resist
All I know is if TikTok goes away I'm suddenly going to have a lot more time on my hands. To do shit like this. Buckle up.
And if somehow it doesn't, I'm taking this moment right now to promise to do more. We gotta get to work.

Same.
I published a long form introduction on Substack, complete with content plans. #AMA here or there! open.substack.com/pub/wellesda...
#film still of the day. From E is for, a feature film about identity and community. I directed this “Sci-fi without the wiz bam pow” #movie. Super low budget, and we got so much done inside camera. This shot, however, needed the slightest bit of post-production help. #filmsky
Started my legal name change process (I’m a they/them causing mayhem). If I’m gonna live and fight in this I sure as hell am going to do it as myself, as scary as that may be! 💚
