the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Amazing live reaction thread to ep 1 of Heated Rivalry. Everyone read it!

Boosting. May was the editor for DANCING WITH THE LION. Highly recommend her!

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

You know who's a great romance writer (well, maybe you *do* know, but just in case)?: @kjcharleswriter.com

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

SUBSTITUTION: You ordered *normal January* which was out of stock. We substituted *extra length Hell January* at no extra charge

Read this. Save it as a favourite. Read it. Years ago my doctor said that the hardest part of my intense depression was how *convinced* I was by what the filter of depression told me. together we found something that the filter couldn’t deny, and I used that as a tool.

Still have a few bills to pay this month!! Electric: $40 Water: 30/75 Other: $120 Anything helps!! ko-fi.com/beverlyannem... #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026 #disabled #mutualaid 💕💸

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

We're at 93 percent! Can we get the rest of the way TODAY? Charisma just had to find a new housing situation for the second time in a year, and I'd be so grateful if you could kick in a few bucks to help.

Based on this review, that I saw reposted, I HAD to read this book. Let me tell you, IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! This is the most charming and sweet book. Somehow you are rooting for Mr. Collins, who is still being his usual 🙄 Mr. Collins self but is also earnest and kind and genuinely in love?

Sharing my fundraiser again in hopes I can get the rest of my rent paid this month before they send me the scary letter (IYKYK). Thanks for donating/sharing!

Great analysis here, and funny too. You shold read it.

Here is someone semi-local to me who could use some help. They've managed to move, but doing so put them in a seriously perilous financial position, and they need medical care. gofund.me/b27c79deb

great thread, even for those of us taking Romance 401.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

YES YES YES my favorite grumpy horny semi-retired pirate lady is coming back!!

This is...sort of brilliant.

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. gofund.me/e2e913ca5

smashes buy link!

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.

Can you donate to help this ai-free, pathway-free platform that amplifies the voices so often overlooked in media?

#Romancelandia, we absolutely must show up for industry heroine Vivian Stephens—legendary editor, first to pub categories by Black authors with Black characters, founder of RWA. (please share)

Ok fans of KJ Charles' Band Sinister, look at my one true love, Dr. David Martelo. 😍

great tips here for anyone involved with libraries

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. gofund.me/0835f91c

Comment in r/Seattle detailing why it took a few more days for the Washington AG to file the suit wrt the trans EO. A huge thank you to all the people in the AGs office that made this happen.

The great writer @aliettedebodard.com is going through an awful situation, so a bunch of us put together a funding link to help. (I’ve been asked not to add to what she’s said here.) Do give whatever you can, and please spread the word. www.gofundme.com/f/helping-al...

FYI google have now stopped "-ai" working at the end of your search string. So put this at the end (after a space) instead: &udm=14 Fuck you #google. #AI

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. ❤️👊

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

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.

I also got force added to the new Microsoft with AI plan, but if you go in and hit cancel you get the option of going back to the $9.99 no AI family plan. Highly recommend.

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 ⤵️

Mexico has launched an app for Mexican nationals in the U.S. (legally or no) that has an emergency button you can tap to alert the closest consulate if something happens or you feel in danger from immigration. Please share.

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.

🏳️‍⚧️TRANS FOLX! 🏳️‍⚧️ Today is the last day to update your IDs under the Biden administration. if you want to update your paperwork in the next 4 years, now is a great time to do it! here is a state-by-state guide on name change laws, driver’s license & birth certificate gender change:

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.
