@patricknessbooks.bsky.social@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialReally, I can't state this strongly enough. If you can't handle having a queer or trans child, don't have children. And if you are a queer or trans young person, as much as it might hurt, if your family can't love you for who you are, there are better people who will.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialMy actual congressman!
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialThis isn’t news to queer and trans people. Your family doesn’t get to treat you like less than you are. If they do, they aren’t your family.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialLots of coots and one moorhen tho. And doesn’t this all sound like gay slang?

@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialSometimes even I doubt my commitment to Sparkle Motion.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialThe TERF to racist pipeline is ever so short.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialCurrently 738 signatures. And all the expected people sneering about it over on the other place. Success, I think.

@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialTHE DISAPPEARERS really is that good. In ambition, execution, polyphony, history, guts, heart, sex and life, nothing else on the booker list touches it. And WHAT a tonic to read a masterpiece about gay men by an actual gay man, and not someone else using us as therapy sex puppets. What a writer.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialA British person will snort into their brandy if you mispronounce Cholmondeley but will storm ahead with saying Mitchigan, Orri-gone and Maryland as the land of Mary.

@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialReposted by @patricknessbooks.bsky.socialThe NHS Guidance on trans people in hospital will protect zero women but will badly harm trans people. What a hateful disgrace and will be remembered by future generations as a stain on us all.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialNO COMPLAINTS! NOT ONE! Because people who aren't TERFs tend to be decent and want everyone to get their best treatment.
@patricknessbooks.bsky.socialIn good news, both the Yankees and the Dodgers are out of the World Series. Don’t really care who wins, as long as they both lose.
