Happy 2 year anniversary to the time I was new to the fandom & scared to DM a stranger for the first time but did it anyways and then somehow ended up here with @nessasreads.bsky.social 🤍 (later I figured out you’re all great people but I was so intimidated 😭) Don’t think I shared this clip yet:

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

A year ago, through a combo of being in the right place at the right time and the kindness of a then-stranger, I ended up at the sequel announcement. One of the greatest and most unexpected nights of my life. I'll share some videos! Still so grateful to @nessasreads.bsky.social 💗

Pro Tip: If you have a local Hmart or other Asian grocery store in your area (Mitsuwa, Lion Supermarket, etc) - check their skincare and makeup section! I have not shopped at Target for ages. I get everything I need at half the price elsewhere and my skin is glowing and I'm at peace. ✨️

MAGA GOOFS: if we eliminate government jobs those departments will become more efficient so we have fired thousands of park rangers. EVERYONE: okay what about police officers? MAGA GOOFS: how dare you

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams andscape.com/features/gen...

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over. "Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

this is heartbreaking and unconscionable — these are the kids we’re trying to protect. this is who we are fighting for. they just want to be safe and be themselves.

Hey, this is bad, actually. Adding a "Mature 16+" label to books is currently what they do in Russia--ask any queer author who's had a book translated and our options are "remove the gay stuff" or "get stuck with an age rating." This is the kind of move that comes with censorship and fascism.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Here are some Latine fantasy recs for those seeking unique and magical #fantasybooks that don’t get enough 🖤🖤🖤 in my opinion #booksky @skylight.social

Anyone doubting that the puritanical wave has already stated in online book communities. Heads up fellow Aro/Ace folks who complain about having sex and romance in media, these people are not our allies. This is thinly veiled Christofascist CompHet.

This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it. We're talking jail time for romance authors. oksenate.gov/press-releas...

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...
