New writing on my substack for the first time in a long time. On the cornfields at the end of the street I grew up on, and all the shadows that lurked within.

Rachel Pollack’s TRANS CENTRAL STATION launch & soirée with drinks @treadwellsbooks , 13 April
🎟️ book at the link in bio 🥂
In this in-person event at Treadwell’s, Sarah Schulman @sarahon9thstreet joins Morgan M Page @odofemi to discuss the themes, highlights and legacy of Pollack’s great work. From Schrödinger’s cat and science-fiction portals to magic, early trans activism and comics, Trans Central Station breaks the world open to ‘both completely new and unknowably ancient’ possibilities of desire, joy and revelation. Situating trans existence within deep time, Pollack connects modern experience to shamanism and rites of transformation, insisting that trans people have always existed – and have often been understood as sacred figures. In this meditation on freedom – from rigid social structures, from fear and shame, and from history itself – to be trans is proof of ancient and ongoing cosmic power.
Sarah Schulman is an American writer, activist and AIDS historian. She holds an endowed chair at Northwestern University and is a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities.
Morgan M Page is a writer (Lamda literary fellow), historian, artist and activist currently based in London, England. Her trans history podcast, One from the Vaults, is widely acclaimed.

BIRMINGHAM ‼️THIS FRIDAY ‼️ We’re excited to bring a rare screening of short films by Mirha-Soleil Ross, the trans sex worker, artist, and activist, to Centrala.
🔍 Friday 23rd January
🚪 Doors - 7pm
🎬 Film start - 7:30pm
🎟️ Ticket link in bio
Ross’ uncompromising body of work reshaped the landscape of trans art and politics in the 1990s and early 2000s. Long overlooked within mainstream queer histories, Ross’s films remain electric with urgency: insisting on the dignity of sex workers, foregrounding Indigenous and marginalised trans voices, and reimagining trans embodiment as part of the natural world rather than outside it.
This special programme will be introduced by Morgan M Page, writer, historian, artist, and activist, and Jaye Hudson, curator of T-Girls on Film and a leading voice in reclaiming trans feminine narratives from decades of misrepresentation in cinema.
Morgan and Jaye will introduce these films from their unique perspectives, and facilitate a discussion and Q and A at the end.
We are excited to bring these groundbreaking films to new audiences here in the UK’s second city, and to celebrate an artist whose legacy feels more necessary now than ever.
Donations from this screening are being raised for @notaphaseorg
