March 17-31, 2026

The Trans Rights Readathon is an annual call to action to readers and book lovers in support of Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st.

We are calling on the reader community to read and uplift books written by and/or featuring trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender-nonconforming authors and characters.


As before, I would like to request that people shout out their favourite eligible books in the comments!

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

 It just occurred to me today - when I started college in 2002, and prior to that in the 1990s, there was a lot of emphasis on media studies of gender and racial stereotypes. But I don't know if there is currently in introductory level college and secondary school classes analysis of how social media ads promote get-rich -quick schemes and health misinformation. Ads on YouTube promoting AI in business are in particular very slickly produced. In an introduction to college studies course that I took in 2024, we did have a class on how to analyze the trustworthiness of websites, using a homeschooling website as a case study.

I beat Dark Souls, AMA

[ID: shot of my character from the back as she looks into the blasted ruins of the Kiln of the First Flame. She is wearing mismatched red and yellow clothes and a silver helmet, and holding a halberd.]

And it only took 8 months, and a number of hours I will not disclose. Though, to be fair, since I unexpectedly got into the multi-player, a lot of the total hours actually represent me reading a book while waiting to be summoned.

Dark Souls is slow, janky, eccentric, flawed, wilfully obscure about some of its mechanics, and one of the best games I've ever played. I am in love. Ask me anything.
