Pretending this is a photo of a UFO, because I don’t want to admit that I just wanted to show everybody this cool cloud I saw today. Yes, my life is very exciting, thanks for asking!

This is me, bursting through the Lolita Discourse like the fucking Kool Aid man with a copy of @sarahweinman.bsky.social ‘s amazing book THE REAL LOLITA in my hand.

Go read it, Joanne. I’ll wait.

I certainly don’t consider the Butcher to be a role model, but I’m all about centering the experiences of queer elders in my fiction, even when they don’t get a happy ending.

It’s our last day in LA. It’s been a blast, but I think we are both ready to be back in our new home up north.

When you’ve been fighting with your ex-girlfriend all week and then you catch her in a certain light and remember why you fell in love with her in the first place. LA makes me crazy, but she will always be part of who I am.

I also have a new topic crush that is currently fueling a weird and wild project that is giving me life. I may not know exactly where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing a year from now, or ten years from now, but I’m writing my way through it.

What really matters to me now, what I really want to leave behind after I’m gone, is my writing. As a child-free person, my stories are my legacy. They’re like little packets of creative DNA with the potential to inspire future writers.

I had to go through and deal with mountains of quirky and sentimental possessions after Pop Faust and my stepfather died, and I have no interest in imposing that excruciating duty on anyone when I die.

I’m currently surrounded by artifacts of the past and it’s making me feel compelled to let go of nearly everything. The older I get, the fewer material objects I want in my life.

I’m turning 55 tomorrow and I have BIG FEELINGS about everything right now. I’ve spent the last few days sorting through, paring down and organizing the dregs of my former life in LA. Everything is in flux and I have no idea what my future holds.

Here’s the last photo taken of me before my permanent emancipation from Female Trouble. I kicked my fucked up uterus to the curb five years ago today and never looked back. Happy Hysterectoversary to me!

Reminder, because you people clearly need it. When you use transphobic, misogynistic or otherwise shitty jokes to insult a female politician, she won’t see it or care. You know who will? Your readers and friends who can’t help but wonder if you think that way about them too.

“The structures are small, fragile, and easy to damage or overlook… Multiply that sentiment countless times over, and perhaps it explains how researchers mostly missed an entire organ, in an entire group of thousands of animals, until now.”

Same, girl. Same.
