A friendly reminder that my 2027 wall calendar is now available from the Kickstarter campaign, bundled together with my art book Woodlands. There's also a bundle that includes both of my hardcover art books (Woodlands and Faraway Dreaming), as well as the calendar. The Kickstarter campaign has discounted international shipping so I really recommend checking it out if you're also interested in my books.

After the campaign is over, you'll be able to order the 2027 calendar on its own from the publisher's website: there's "sign up here" link on the product page if you want to get an email when it's available.

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this

just thinking a lot lately about that tiktok series of a guy asking strangers 'do you think this person is gay or straight' and its this whole chain of people being like oh im obviously straight everyone can tell and then getting called gay when their picture is shown to other strangers. overall pretty funny series exposing how fake and fragile it all is. but very notably the videos with all men are just calling each other gay but the ones with all women are completely unpromptedly calling the strangers in the photo trans.

the question of "do you think they're gay or straight" is being interpreted not as "can you guess this person's sexuality from their appearance" but "what kind of deviant do you think this person is" and trans men just do not occupy the societal headspace as a potential deviant to watch out for the way trans women do. fail to live up to the standard of cishet man and you're still a man you're just gay. fail to live up to the standard of cishet woman and you're not even a woman

also david tennant - his family is very private when it comes to photos, but one of his children is nonbinary & he's been extremely vocally supportive

Sade also wrote a song for her son, which is absolutely worth a listen if you want to Cry A Lot

Today, I am curious about how people with testosterone plan to deal with hair loss. I am categorizing binary trans men and cis men together for this poll. The last answer is for fem folks all other categories that don't want to be counted in a testosterone based poll.

If you are on testosterone (natural or HRT) how do you plan to deal with hair loss?

binary man- let it happen

binary man- try to prevent it

other gender- let it happen

other gender-try to prevent it

not on testosterone, but if I was, I'd let it happen

not on testosterone, but if I was, I would try to prevent it

fem / not planning to be on T / other

When I was a teen and having some growing pains in my back, I used to hope it meant something, that I was going to sprout wings and become special

Now I feel special but the pain hasn't and won't gone away
