Every time a queer person embraces their authentic self, they pave the way for others to do the same. Here are ten regrets I choose to no longer carry. Each is an invitation to move forward, uplift others, and live unapologetically as my true self.

I'm doing a #pride themed challenge next month (#prideopoly) so I'm curious: what was the last good queer book you've read? #bookstodon #suggestmeabook #queerbooks #queer @bookstodon
Hi Fediverse!
After hovering around here for a long time as a passive observer, I've decided to be more of an active participant, and try to do the #introduction thingy.
I'm #autistic, so obviously the only good way to introduce myself is by making a long list of topics I think too much about. Besides the standard Fedi topics, I'll be tooting about:
‣ The surreal experience of growing up in the #Baltics in the 90s, and why the last half a decade of geopolitical events unfolding has made my hair go gray.
‣ Deconstructing bad takes about " #EasternEurope " I keep hearing from fellow leftists in the west. About the othering that comes with just being born there, often even in #radical spaces.
‣ A long and confusing journey of understanding my fluid #gender experience, after growing up in one of the more #queer unfriendly regions of #Europe.
‣ Observations from a decade of hedonistic escapism in the #Amsterdam "underground" #techno scene. About performative politics, gatekeeping and classism in the scene, and why we need to make dance music political again.
‣ The absurdity that has been happening since #techbros took over the #psychedelics space.
Unfortunately, I don't have a cat to post pictures of. However, I have made friends with the local murder of #crows, hopefully that works!

QUEER NIHILISM
I have written a new essay (an hour of your time) which discusses "queer nihilism" or an anti-politics (that is, something against the politics of this world) of wild desire.
It is from a work in progress which is focusing on "the wild" as an alternative to our civilisations of death and oppression, a theorisation of anarchy.
It will interest those who have an interest in an alternative politics - and an alternative to politics - queer theory, nihilism, anarchism and all anti-civilisationalists.

'A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed divorcing "#gay" from "#queer" people reinforces a hierarchy of belonging that privileges proximity to straightness, rewards conformity, and marginalizes anyone who cannot or will not meet its terms'

Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost
#TimeTravelAuthors 1. Introduce your story
Meet Bijou, a time-tripping “ghost” without a past and her companion Emily, late of the Hindenburg disaster, as they attempt to unravel the mysteries of #TimeTravel, #Illuminati, #KnightsTemplar, and Lapan Cabal.
Visit Amelia Earhart, Nostradamus, Faust, and others in a landscape spanning from the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event to the wastelands of the future, with stop-offs on the Hindenburg, Titanic, and Crusader Cyprus.
It’s a sophisticated #sapphic pulp-inspired story reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs, without the baggage.
Revised, edited, and retconed.

On Queer Creativity with Allan Radcliffe, Zoë Strachan & Louise Welsh
4 June, Edinburgh – £3/£5
Porty Pride, in partnership with Portalibri, welcome three Scottish novelists as they read from their work & discuss what it means to be a queer writer, both in a creative sense, & in the world, touching upon the specific challenges faced by LGBTQ+ writers in hostile times.
#Scottish #literature #queer #queerwriters #LGBTQ #Edinburgh
On this day, two years ago, I first publicly came out as a woman.
The world has gotten worse since then in scarily tangible ways. I am likely to leave my home country. I lost my job and a fair few people I thought were friends.
But for the first time in 30 years I got to really be me. Nothing has even been more important to me, and it is why I will never give up and encourage you to do the same.
Live for yourself, not for fear.
Trans/Port, an anthology of queer speculative fiction featuring my trans cyberpunk story "Conversion", is now available for preorder! It's releasing July 1st, and is on sale for $1.99 until July 8th, so reserve your copy now!
Tenemos algo MUY GUAY que enseñaros:
'Plumas de pueblo' es la respuesta a aquellas voces que dicen que lo rural no es lugar para las personas cuir; la constatación de que las bolleras, las maricas, las personas trans, las hadas, los unicornios, los duendes rosas... también formamos parte de campos, sierras y valles.

Okay, let me be random for a second.
This being Fedi, I know there will be someone reading this who is a chronically depressed, poly disaster transfem always narrowly avoiding poverty by being a somewhat-but-not-really successful self-employed freelance web developer, who has strong opinions about the modern web, free software, the semantic web and structured data, and who kind-of-but-not-really mourns what XHTML could have been while actually thinking HTML5 as written is kinda neat, but who is constantly forced by Society (tm) to work with React, Wordpress and awful bloated web app frameworks to create terrible, non-semantic style-first web applications for ungrateful clients.
I can't guarantee anything but let's say, I know someone who needs a static website for their business. Hypothetically, uh, where could that someone reach out to you? Paid, of course.
