Twice this evening I’ve responded to a Tumblr post by a person who acknowledges the bigotry of the Salvation Army (albeit while glossing over their actual discrimination outside the area of employment). This person has made it clear that he does not support the Salvation Army…

Police have charged Detroit man Qasim Raqib with the murder and mutilation of 19-year-old Detroit trans woman Shelley Hilliard, alleging he burned and dismembered her body to the point where she was identifiable only by the cherry tattoo on her upper right arm.
Many LGBT bloggers figured transphobia was the motivation behind the grisly murder, but that appears not to be the case,...

I love this, but at the same time am a bit creeped out by the bouquet of fish. Even though I’ve written fish-eating mermaids before.

[News reports on the murders of trans women are transmisogynist as they are rife with misgendering, using the wrong name, and stating the killers’ claims of what happened as if they were fact. I have rewritten the news report of the Christmas Eve death of a Kansas City trans woman,…

I always wonder what the women would say of our history if they could all speak. Not just wealthy white women in certain times & places who kept journals or wrote letters. All the women. The servants, the bar maids, the prostitutes, the spies, the killers, the dancers, the slaves,…

karnythia: And while I’m in my feelings about this frat shit, let’s be honest if it had been a chapter of one of the Divine Nine or any POC oriented frat there’d be 97975864753753 special reports about the dangers frat members pose to innocent white women on campus. There would be calls to…

Esoterica: An Open Letter To Writers of Color →
karnythia:
You know there are some editors & publishers who are actively looking for fresh POC voices in fiction. Admittedly I know more people in SFF & romance who are looking because that is what I read & those are the cons I attend. And it isn’t the same as writing literary fiction (which I know a lot of…

Now, where I’ve grown up, I’ve seen this flag displayed a lot. In high school I saw it on peoples’ book bags, t-shirts, cars, even flown proudly in their yards or (in college, though only once) from their windows.
In high school I asked my peers who did this, all of them…

Reblogging as a link to add a warning above the image, which is a gif set of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law at a panel. Downey is saying, “As for wearing each other’s clothes or crossdressing to please each other, that’s something we’re going to see next installment. Sher—” here he pauses to laugh. “Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Trannies. Jude, you have...

If there’s a certain amount of poetic justice in the latest round of layoffs to sweep the country, it’s a small one. In the first place, the executives who were let go all had contracts that stipulated exorbitant severance packages and in the second it doesn’t really portend anything good for the…
