There is something about a micro that I find so haunting. Maybe it's because as readers, we're invited into the story in such an intimate way. Each reading excavates more of the story. I love this horror micro by @matthollingsworth.com in Sudden Flash. yoursuddenflash.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-le...

My wife wrote a very funny novel 🥹

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, classic Disney, etc.

An action you can take against Dear Leader's disturbing rant about banning mail-in voting and "nationalizing elections" is to call your state's Attorney General and tell them hard no to collaborating with federal criminals, as per Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution.

If you want to support communities terrorized by ICE and DHS while getting query feedback or manuscript critiques, this is the auction for you.

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

This statement is worth 5000 prayers and sermons combined. Thank you, Chaplain Moberg. ❤️‍🔥

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

There's one every season!!!

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

This is what love looks like.

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.

Amelia Bedelia ass shit

Every time a health insurance claim is denied or a premium is increased, a billionaire CEO gets richer. They don’t have to worry about medical care. They get the best care money can buy while denying that right to everyone else. Universal healthcare now.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people. She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care. That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities. Fight for universal healthcare now!

May my friend @sfdirewolf.bsky.social rest in power. I will especially miss texting with her about Star Trek. We were lucky, all of us, to have Alice and her warmth and enthusiasm. www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Today I had to vote on a school bond to *bring local schools into compliance with the ADA." Read that again. I was 15 when the ADA passed and my old schools are STILL NOT ACCESSIBLE. I am 50 now, almost 51. #CripTheVote

Gosh, thanks, Google (whose algorithms have long pushed users toward extremist content, because profit is everything and humanity is nothing, to Google).

Wrote a thread, of disagreement, in response to this, which seems to equate 'people' with 'select elites.'

I’m only here to procrastinate

Another example of how our healthcare system fails those with disabilities. Pregnancy is a minefield when you're disabled www.motherjones.com/politics/202... by @juliametraux.bsky.social via @motherjones.com @womenjournos.bsky.social CC: @bcronin6.bsky.social @syannebloom.bsky.social @torri.blue

"With Meager Apologies to Mary Oliver's Estate"

Many disabled people won’t go to the ER unless they’re literally dying (or forced against their will). We’ve dealt with too much trauma & consider it an unsafe place. That trauma is compounded in the US by agonizing over whether you can afford the bill. Healthcare should be a human right.

Also: “ASAN is gravely concerned by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK Jr.) reported plans to establish a “registry” of autistic people and to hand over sensitive medical data about autistic people to unnamed researchers, likely without their consent.” autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/asan...

Colleagues, the autism registry doesn’t exist without our participation Repeat after me: fuck you, make me If you care about Autistic people “Fuck you, make me.”

RFK wants to start his autism registry. A huge red flag to those of you not paying attention. Indeed, they aren't new in the US - NJ and Utah have them off the top of my head. And they aren't a good thing. A similar idea to RFK's was attempted in the UK and halted. We must fight.

Hey all you #actuallyautistic angels, I wrote this for us. 🤟🏼♥️ and I fckin love you.

But at least Katy Perry went to space!!!

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Massive fucking eye roll. If only I didn’t have to pay taxes!! Instead, they go to funding this bullshit 🙃

Okay hi Bluesky I’m back after a hiatus. Couldn’t handle the news onslaught for a few months but here I am. I know you were all just waiting on the edge of your seats for my return! Please don’t April fools me it’s my first day back

Elsa said trans rights.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday! Here I am with Zeus, a truly Superb Eurasian Eagle Owl.
