I reached 10k followers, and as promised, I'm going to celebrate with... 🎉 a BIG recommendations thread of all sorts of cool things!! 🎉 Books, stories, games, comics & more. One like adds one recommendation, one repost adds two. Up to 200 things, I think, but I might need multiple threads!

This mag has given me so much, not to mention the field. I can't begin to say how grateful I am to this entire crew. The push, the feedback, the mentorship. This is a huge loss to the field, even if it's only temporary.

okay for those who dont know i am in portland oregon where you will be charged $4000 a month to stay in a tiny home and/or studio if you are homeless and tryna be off the street. if you wanna stay in a hotel, you will pay the same price and deal with bedbugs and mold 😁🔪🔪🔪

I have like 12,000 things to do today and this wasn't on my list but there are currently 2 ways to support the Ignytes: General Donations: ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/support/ Sponsorship: donorbox.org/sponsor-the-... If you're local to the ATL area, I'm also looking for help packing trophies.

FIYAH the magazine's hiatus does not impact the operations of the Ignyte Awards or a future convention. We are operating on some shared infrastructure, though, so expenses related to being fully hosted independently will be taken into account in a future crowdfunding/sponsorship cycle.

As a Greek who was taught the tragedies this story resonates so much. Sacrifices for beliefs and systems that don't serve the people while the voice of those who suffer is silenced. Is there catharsis or is it another story we tell ourselves? by @aimeeogdenwrites.com in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social

Just donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center because fuck this corrupt and racist Department of "Justice" and fuck Fidelity while we're at it www.splcenter.org

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

Why do white folks come to Black people expecting we feel sorry for them because they have a hard time getting right on race? We don't have time for your little feelings, we're busy surviving antiblackness, & how dare you think we need to stop to prioritize your frailty.

Today marks seven years of being in my writing group. What a milestone. Here is to many more.

I loves me a baddie who stands on business. 😍😍😍😍

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Ik exhausted lord

Water is big mad at me and Kari, jeez Please help. Disaster has struck.

ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, ‘Look, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they don’t wear a mask..., and they don’t arrest people in order to fill a quota.’” abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...
