Okay folks, because this happens every year: 1. The Met Gala funds the Costume Institute which does not receive any of the money the Met Museum gets from tickets or money from the general donation pool to the Met.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

Hate to be so blunt, but could I get some reposts on this as I am in a dire situation still seeking employment and trying to survive this reality we're in under this harsh administration. 😓 #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

Speculative fiction fans, can you *please* stop using YA as a way to insult adult fiction? YA isn't devoid of subtext or descriptions. It isn't lesser.

We had to renew our lease and the landlord increased the rent from $2800 to $3200 per month. My fiancé is the only one with a payroll income while we help take care of his mom who is almost bedridden at this point with stage 4 cancer. I’m sorry, but please, anything helps…

I don't think people really mean to say asexual people can't make fully human art when they keep saying real art is horny, art without sex is just plastic etc but they sure do keep saying that (If your knee-jerk reaction is "but asexuals can make sexy art too!" stop and sit with that for a moment?)
