“In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political,

I must listen to the birds.

And in order to hear the birds,

the warplanes must be silent”

- Marwan Makhoul

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Oh god what!!

Just Instagrammed something similar. Supermarkets are hard!

In one week, it will have been a year since we lost Lucy. I spent this afternoon finding solace in the beautiful and soulful work of @ECCarterArt, whose exhibition at Hartlepool Art Gallery is about grief, colour, and legacy. I’m glad to got to experience it, and to add to it.

This is the greatest day of my life

I’ve been getting some lovely feedback for Queer Minds lately from people around the world. I always feel humbled when people tell me they’ve enjoyed something I’ve made, but it feels even better with Queer Minds because so many cool people made it with me, and they all deserve to be celebrated!

Thank you so much! 🏳️‍⚧️

It looks like the patch made it through ok! 😮‍💨

My patch for the Trans Unity Quilt.
I made it to honour the life of my wife. It’s a call for justice for her and all of her trans siblings who have died due to transphobia. The fabric comes from her clothes.
It’s currently stuck in a sorting office, so fingers crossed that my patch makes it safely!

I’m going to have to excuse myself from the internet for two weeks unless I can convince a cinema in the north of England to have a showing 🤷🏼

Texas: Please don't execute James Broadnax for murders he didn't commit! The state of Texas plans to execute James Broadnax on April 30, 2026 for a double murder that he did not commit. The actual shooter, James's cousin, Demarius Cummings, was sentenced to life without pa...

I just signed a @uscedp.bsky.social petition urging Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles and Governor Abbott to stop the execution of James Broadnax, who didn't kill anyone. Join me and add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

One of the best things about being a therapist is hearing the stories of those who don’t often get to share their feelings. It feels so liberatory and so important. I loved working that ethos into Queer Minds and The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well-Being.

The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well-Being offers supportive advice and useful tips for trans and non-binary folks on various mental health matters, such as anxiety, depression, body image, and trauma. It’s written by a trans psychotherapist, for trans people, with care and understanding.

Writing is hard and it only gets easier with practice. You don't get hench if someone else is lifting weights. The very suggestion story tellers should use AI is such bullshit

*a lighter MONTH! My goodness 🤦

Here’s what I read in March!

March was a lighter reading week in terms of quantity, mostly because both of these books took a while to sink in for me, which I often appreciate in a book. My favourite stories in Songs of a Dead Dreamer were Alice’s Last Adventure and Notes on the Writing of Horror.

I wrote Queer Minds because LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent stories can’t be side notes to therapy; they’re right at the heart of it. When we make room for them and ground it all in self-consent and community care, we can foster healing that is collaborative, liberatory, revolutionary, and truly healing.

It’s shit, isn’t it?

‘Someone will remember us
I say
even in another time’

In a surreal and maddening turn of events, my book The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well-Being has been included in a mass school library purge targeting diverse voices and stories. I never expected to see my name on the same list as Alice Oseman and George R. R. Martin, but here we are!

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options.
For example, check out some of these writers:

'Follow your euphoria. Choose the parts of transition, and of life, that feel good, even if they're difficult. The trick to it, in my experience, is to commit to loving who you are now and to loving whoever you will be.’
