No one wants to admit this, but it's TRUE. If you want to actually have savings and go on vacation once a year (NOT on a credit card), and have no debt, and an emergency fund ready for a job layoff, yes: this is what it takes.

All, if you don’t mind boosting this, I would really, really appreciate it.

It’s a good day to read BIPOC stories!

Since it's Disability Pride Month & curators are STILL pushing non-disabled narratives abt disability, I'm going to start sharing a disabled writer a day for the rest of July. Today's disabled writer is Elsa Sjunneson! Also known as @snarkbat.bsky.social Deets at www.snarkbat.com #DisabilityPride

Rabbit Test and Other Stories has been LAUNCHED, and I am finally settling back into my day-to-day groove. I'm collecting nice things in this thread! linky links: Tachyon: bit.ly/3QcZmSx Bookshop: bit.ly/4tvfAET B&N: bit.ly/41TJBCu Amazon: bit.ly/4ccbhqX

It's really hard to convey just how massive the scale of legislation has been to target trans people. From a few dozen pieces of legislation in 2015 to over a thousand in 2025. It started with sports bans in 2020 and now we're here. it was never about sports.

the DOJ's counterterrorism messaging named "Antifa", "Anarchists" and "pro-trans extremists" as major threats. nearly a third of the 22 Prairieland defendants are trans. Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, sentenced to 50 yrs each, have been held in men's prisons, even denied hormones in the last year.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

With alt text, because this is important.

Anyone who claims to be a well-informed, true American needs to watch this:

I'm a disabled trans intersex survival sex worker & organizer .... & I just I lost my medicaid 💀 I don't even wanna think about how much it costs just for me to breathe so pls share this, it costs $0 to quote this to your audience 🚨Send help: my.bio/myrtlemystic 🏳️‍⚧️💕💸 #mua #transaid #helpfolkslive

”Juneteenth Has Always Been About Black Liberation” by Kaitlyn Greenidge for Harper’s Bazaar. An oral history, as told by members of the Winston-Salem Chapter of The Black Panther Party. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Juneteenth represents a partial liberation. Slavery still exists in America. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery except as punishment for crime, creating a pipeline from plantation slavery to prison slavery. Today we remember those who never stopped resisting, and we take action.

My key lime tree actually has limes growing on it!!! I’m so excited!

this is a catastrophe and he will do harm, and only harm, to those living with disabilities

Frankly, it feels like a personal attack that two of my favorite punctuation marks (the em dash and the Oxford comma) are now associated with AI 🤨

What’s this I hear of the Oxford comma now being categorized as evidence of using AI? I find such suggestions to be presumptuous, inappropriate, and offensive.

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

God help me but I made a video to talk about two things I hate

Today is my birthday, too! 🥳 Happy Birthday to us, and I second this list and any other local mutual aid or community action fund you can find ❤️❤️❤️

@chrislhayes.bsky.social ICYMI, a piece that reminded me of Twilight Of The Elites, for obvious reasons. "a world with universal basic income is more meritocratic than a world without one" www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

not to make everything about AI, but AI is fundamentally anti-worker. it's a tool built and bought on the promise of lowering our collective value and concentrating wealth at the top. pro-union every day, but especially today: hachetteworkers.com/open-letter/

OKAY WE ARE SET TO GO I got my surgery date for Operation Literally Operation Yeet The Uterus Into The Sun! May 8! (If anyone feels like donating $3 for grocery delivery and catsitting moneys -- and IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT!!! -- I will not say no! ko-fi.com/premee )

Our home in North Gaza was destroyed by war. We lost everything. Now my little daughter is very sick and getting worse day by day. 😔 Donations have stopped and I fear for her life. 🤲 We need 300€ for treatment. Even a small donation can help. Please don’t leave my child 💔 chuffed.org/project/1565...

I think this is the part where we start burying it, yeah?

Don’t know why I’m seeing “the Elon hate has mostly dissipated” posts because no it fucking hasn’t.

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID. Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name. No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

Repost with your first crush (if you had one). There were probably some earlier ones, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head. (To be clear, I had a crush on Sabriel, not the Abhorsen who is pictured on the cover.)

If you see this, post something orange from your gallery. (…this counts, right?)

Tim Curry IS VERY MUCH ALIVE. It is his birthday so he is trending because people are gushing about how great he is, which is deserved.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Hailey is an incredible person whose resilience and creativity keep blowing me away. She keeps making amazing culture and fighting for trans feminism in Brazil. Her mom has cancer and it's taking up all her time and energy. Can you help her make rent please? <3

Omg I hate it here. I am holding myself back from saying some things right now… But I need health insurance.

I reached $110 which will get me somewhere safe temporarily. That's 110/500. 500 will pay for a permanent move to a safer place. Please help me if you can.

"Gen AI" is not politically neutral, even & especially when using it against political opponents. This isn't some "tying a hand behind your back" situation, this is literally harming yourself and everyone else by giving legitimacy and credence to a deeply dangerous technisocial paradigm. So stop it.

THESE BANS ARE GOING INTO EFFECT IN PLACES LIKE FUCKING OREGON WHERE THE CHURCH RUNS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL SYSTEM!!!! NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!! IT'S ALL JUST BASED POPE MEMES!!!! I'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

But sure he is stark mad

Exactly. I have long maintained that there are two kinds of actors: those who transform themselves for every role, and those who transform every role into themselves. (And then there are just bad actors, but that’s a convo for another time…)

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel! It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights" But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???
