Hey friends!

Hope you're all hanging in there. I'm trying really hard to finish this episode for you for Monday, so we're going to do a lightning round of news without the color commentary. Apologies, but also — maybe you'll like it better this way, even! Who knows?

(Also, hey, did I share that Drake meme already? If not, here it is, and if so, here it is again.)

Merch news

(Full disclosure, I didn't mean to put this section at the top but now I'm scared to move it and mess up the formatting.)

We have so much new merch, some of which is beautiful (new version of the "Gender is a boundless expanse" shirt!) and some of which is deranged (me writing jokes on shirts in Helvetica — thank u twitter for egging me on).

We also have a bunch of new items that say "Not Gay as in Happy but Queer as in Fuck You" which, idk if they're gonna let us keep those forever or not, so maybe get them now before they get pulled?

AND I restocked a couple of favorite designs, including the No Cis Vampires shirt and the Gender is Dead shirt (now with more color options), and threw Surf Don't Terf on a long-sleeved shirt for good measure.

oh AND AND there's some merch with our new logo on it!

In the interest of lightning-round-ing, here is just a screenshot of the whole ass store, which you can find at bit.ly/gendermerch. (YOU KNOW THIS but just in case you're new: all the proceeds go to trans artists and LGBTQ+ orgs; all of these designs will leave the shop by 12/31 so shop fast.)

Gender Reveal podcast news

Our first episode of Season Six is coming out in (allegedly) two days! I absolutely loved speaking with Imara of the TransLash podcast... was about to tell you more but I'll wait until next week I guess! In the meantime, subscribe, get stoked, etc.

Also, did you notice that there's a short bonus episode in your feed? If not, Happy Elliot Page Day! (Related: Did you see this new photo I'm losing it. A king.)

Other podcast news

Wow, there's so much of this.

I was the featured guest on two episodes of Behind the Bastards this week, which I know is how a few of y'all found this here podcast. (Welcome!) If you want to listen to me talk about something that is absolutely not gender at all, I recommend this show.

I was on the HAGS podcast talking about binaries and being somewhat impatient with the cis hosts, sorry to those people. (There's also a nonbinary host which is neat!)

I was also on the LGBTQ&A podcast with Jeffrey Masters a while back. I'm really proud of this episode and I hope you also like it?!?! Also Jeffrey made this rad thirst trap promo image for me that I love.

And LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I have a confession, which is that the podcast I listen to most is Who Weekly, a gossip podcast about c-list celebrities. I do not listen because it is """good""" (although it can be very good) but rather because it empties out my brain when I am trying to sleep or having an anxiety spiral (which constitutes most of my day lol?!)

Anyway, Who Weekly is very popular and I don't know Lindsey or Bobby (the two people who make the show) and I was content to have a parasocial relationship with them the same way that lots of y'all have a parasocial relationship with me and other podcast hosts. (Sorry! I wish we were friends but I'm busy having anxiety spirals 23 hours a day.)

ANYWAY i say all this because this week, they were talking about Elliot Page (not a c-list celebrity to be clear, despite a joke I made on twitter!!!) AND THEY FULLY SAID MY WHOLE ASS NAME AND MY TWITTER HANDLE AND TOLD EVERYONE TO LISTEN THE PODCAST. i still don't understand how this is possible or real but anyway, here we are.

(thank u to friend of the show Miranda for this handy graphic; also hbd ily)

Thank you so much to everyone who has ever sent me a note or a card (or stamps!), by the way. It's hard for me to acknowledge them because I can't just like click a lil heart on a physical piece of mail, but I do appreciate them and you so much.

Speaking of thank you, here's your weekly Rhubarb, as drawn by Ira M. Leigh of Gender-Reveal-logo fame.
