Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

It's Trans Day of Visibility.

....send your favorite trans creator money. Right now.

Happy trans day of visibility, kids.

I am excited to see this come to completion. This is the kind of story I love hunting out

“A knight would kill you to maintain order, Sir. A knight would kill you to demonstrate what happens to the Elite in this most egalitarian of settings, Sir. A knight would kill you for disturbing the order of the universe, Sir. I will kill you for chocolate, Sir.”

Roberta Muldoon would be so disappointed in him.

Life is punching hard. Reading Gail Simone to cope.

Another example in the collection of ‘it’s Joe’s world, we just live in it’ stories.

Chicago peeps, heads up and whistles out:

From one trans to another: I’m cheering you on. Hold fast. Know you’re loved.

It’s tough. I started transitioning in 2019, and still have to negotiate being fully out, despite getting treatment. I still feel these challenges are better than what came before.

Normalize assassins who are inordinately fond of tiny little pastries.

CAN’T STOP ME NOW

Oh yes okay come with me new people on this horrible journey into Porn Wars Theory

This will be a thread and an extremely bleak one

One was a nuclear engineer and foreign vp for General Electric. The other was an engineer for ITT.

Had a blast chatting with @rdpires.bsky.social about our Kickstarters! It MAY get slightly unhinged in places.

Have a look!

The kickstarter is live!!!

Queer ballroom magic, camptastical adventure!

It will be legendary!

Sometimes I think about how romances written during the Regency era don't have any queer or trans people in them, but we know they existed, and we know they loved.

We know, because we have the arrest records.

Countless romances, told between the lines of police reports.

Maya Rudolph and That Muppet

where was this chemistry in WUTHERING HEIGHTS

started a rewatch of the original MUPPET SHOW and daily confronting "oh yeah i used to have nightmares about this" and a long-buried sexual awakening, often in the same skit

what's the long german word for "i could feel my rights degrading but in a way that feels very manufactured but no one would stand by me because they think me and my siblings are weird and kind of icky"?

So looking forward to this. Kickstarter March 3rd!

Well, this mended my heart today. Thank you 💖
