Hello my lovelies, it’s my birthday! 🎉 If you’d like to help me celebrate, my wish is that you share this GFM from a family friend. They’re at 50% and I’d love to get them to 60.

And for goodness' sake, listen to
@ingloriousgigi.bsky.social
and others who have spoken out about Freydis. They are not a Latine author. They are a white person who pretended to be, playing digital brownface, took awards intended for Latine authors, and somehow ... still releasing books.

Aliette is an amazing, powerful, ingenious writer, but more importantly she's an amazing, kind-hearted person who deserves all that is good in the world, and instead she's in a tough situation. If you can afford to help her out at all, please do so.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

That said… I’m currently at a balance of $5.97. I’m not out of food *yet* and don’t anticipate any *urgent* need for money within the next few days, but after that I’m in trouble. I presently have no other income besides begging online. Can anyone please help me? My payment app links are in my bio.

I'll add, for anyone (like me) with social anxiety, esp. around the phone: they don't argue with you! They listen and record your comment. If they agree they will probably reassure you! If they don't, they just log you and you hang up. That's it. We can do this. ❤️👊

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

This is well-deserved success for a really good children's writer. Donaldson's books are excellent - warm, charming, light-hearted. They're also an absolute pleasure to read aloud. Children's light verse is an old tradition but not one that a lot of people do well. Long live the Gruffalo.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

I was just saying to a friend, someone who was horrified by a prominent person’s wretched behavior (but this individual was fine/good to my friend)—I said, “never forget, these people choose the targets of their generosity & goodwill & appreciation as carefully as they choose their abuse targets.”

Look at this number. Look at it. Look at the pages upon pages upon pages we have to read about trans women ruining women's sport. Look at the anger, the fury, the relentlessness of it all. Now, look at that number again. Under 10. 19,000 teams. Not athletes. Teams.

Bumping the PSA because someone else who needed it found it recently and it's been a good bit: if you are diagnosed with Dupuytren's/Ledderhose, read this thread and get to an oncologist who does radiotherapy treatment AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
