Mascot rave actually seems like an incredibly effective tactic. There's absolutely no way to spin that the dancing unicorn was threatening.

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline: AB 82/SB 497 AB 1084/SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 728 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

If you're interested in buying my latest book and helping to support independent bookstores (instead of helping Jeff Bezos buy another yacht) then I humbly ask that you consider purchasing a copy from @bookshop.org bookshop.org/p/books/comi...

A gentle reminder that a public-facing company can't refuse to do business with you on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin under the Civil Rights Act. But no one can force YOU as a common consumer to do business with anyone. Old fashioned consumer boycotts are perfectly legal.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

If you politely mute when you aren't talking, it doesn't even matter if someone is scream meowing in the background of your zoom

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

I will never stop repeating this, but sadly, I have many times to specify writers because people seem to relate art only to visual practices

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills. Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❤️

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

remember! you arent calling representatives to change hearts and minds, youre calling in order to INTIMIDATE them through sheer numbers into backing down on dumbass censorship bills. politician's aides literally give them a spreadsheet on how many constituents call to oppose/support bills.

"Labels" can work as shorthand to expeditiously communicate what you are. But they're only as useful as they are relevant to you. You are not beholden to any label. If-- at any point-- a label no longer represents you? That's fine! Don't be afraid of change. Nobody can define what you are but you.

The military refusing to applaud Hegseth not just once — but several times — brings me not only hope that our military is standing firm in their oath to the Constitution, but hope that all of those traitorous politicians are now wetting themselves in bed. They’re fucked. And now they KNOW it.

Not one bit.

Ohhh Andrea Gibson ;(

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Signal boosting!! If you see someone with this proof, they STOLE it.

The best heroes are like this

Sinclair & Nexstar giving up also, the ice guy who manhandled the wife & threw her to the ground getting pulled from duty b/c of video, owner of the carwash where ICE attacked owner suing Trump admin for 50K, etc. Some things starting to cause glitches for Trump will hopefully give courage to more.

Hades II has dropped, and I am forcibly reminded *why* I ruined my thumbs on the OG Hades. It's peak, y'all.

I don't think people feeling alienated and alone is the same as a loneliness crisis, I think it's something much deeper lol. It is in fact MUCH easier to hang out for most of America than it was 20 years ago, and the amount of large and free events have exploded in my lifetime lol.

Not sure why there are people out there embracing doomerism and saying that there's no way we can defeat Trump, that he's too much of an unstoppable force to beat. He couldn't even get Jimmy Kimmel off the air for a full week. You know why? Us. We did that.

Did you like Expedition 33? Did you like Kpop Demon Hunters? Great news, you're gonna love People of Note! It's an RPG that's also a pop musical! A bunch of my friends have been working on this for ages and it absolutely rules. Go wishlist it RIGHT NOW!! store.steampowered.com/app/1626170/...

The kids get it

Also back in the store is my Dragoon theme necklace featuring a beautiful garnet! I LOVE the scale details so much ❤️ www.seateas.store

I’m fine with the Rapture as long as the man from Mars does not eat my cars and guitars and head

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

If someone finds the bag that my good friend lost at @anotherfurrycon.com on Saturday night, I will print them a batch of free custom stickers and ship them at our expense. Last seen at the fat fur meet at 8PM, or possibly in the area near the cafe. Please pass this on, shares appreciated.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Long, fascinating, and uplifting thread. I'm really glad I saw this 🙂

Pssst. I’m a queer author about to debut in traditional publishing with a modern-day sapphic Sherlock Holmes hommage with fey and magic. You can order signed copies through here: www.therippedbodice.com/book/9781464...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

its time to decentralize and completely get back to stripped production budgets for television. im talking about where it all began: theatre-style television and film. we need to take back the reigns of control before social media becomes even more inept. right now, we have a way to connect.

hey hollywood. this is scary. i know. but there are a few nontraditional groups who have been able to cut through the fear and create sustainable models to produce amazing work: dropout tv. nebula. tubi. online fandoms: starkid, smosh, critical role. Broadway HD. this is just naming a few.

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

more than a decade ago, one Fraction-Aja Hawkeye panel captured the vibe of this entire era we're living in now

They are literally canceling culture

FYI, it's Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene and it has apparently been exploding

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Now might be a good time to check through Jackson Agency’s talent roster and see if there’s anyone you recognize/are colleagues with who would probably want to be notified about something like this. The agencies who represent us REPRESENT US, and our reputations can be harmed merely by association.

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

Hey gang! Baddie Bards is on the search for a captioner! You can learn all about the gig here: tally.so/r/mZxlK5 anyone is welcome to apply. Black Queer folx and Trans babes will be prioritized! 🧡💜

WOOSH! You have gained an extra spoon to tackle the day!

We are baaaaack 8D
