For the next little bit / as long as it’s relevant, DEBATE ME BRO is being taken over…by you, the trans community;) instead of our regularly scheduled advice column, we’re putting out an open call for trans communities’ reactions to the election. not in a thinkpiecey way, but just how you actually felt—i want to read your angsty poetry, all the insults you’ve come up with for Trump (leaky orange trash bag, anyone?), your top ten blue states to flee to, your rage and panic, your authenticity that goes beyond #ProtectTransKids and becomes a call to liberate ourselves. <3
what you can submit: anything that would make sense in a Substack post, is from a trans liberationist perspective, and is a personal narrative regarding the recent US election. Memoir / flash memoir, poetry (including nontraditional forms), hybrid works, stuff in translation, visual art and photography, scripted RPGs (as long as they’re personal), humor, one-act plays, and incoherent rants are all fair game.
how to submit: email debatemebro@riseup.net with your submission either attached or in the body of the email. please include the name and email you use for Substack. anyone accepted can request a yearlong substack comp ($50 value).
who can submit: anyone who is part of the trans or nonbinary community OR has a significant connection to said community. trans folx submit for free, everyone else should use the DMB tip jar (https://buymeacoffee.com/mkzariel/e/293103). if you want to submit to the advice column, please do so on the discord (https://discord.gg/KEzyXv2mxD).
and finally, a begpost: we’re at 30/100 paid subscribers and 570/800 total. any support of any kind helps us continue doing the work of anarchist education in a world that desperately needs it. here’s a link:
