Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

This is a solid 17 percent of copyediting, maybe more:

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

This is my trans agenda

Me: The thing about writing is that it’s fun and I love it. Friends: Gabriel, why are you gripping the table like that? And is thst your fourth cup of coffee? Why are you angry-crying into your notebook like - ? Me: THE THING ABOUT WRITING IS THAT IT’S FUN AND I LOVE IT.

it's worse when you work from home, and bad screen and good screen are separated by about 50 feet

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Here is a directory of places that you can donate to as a way to help activists in Minnesota, including the Immigrant Rapid Response fund: www.standwithminnesota.com

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

you will be visited by three sphirits

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I have these and they are ridiculously gorgeoussssss

Writing fanfiction for the first time in 15 years because I will wring all the joy out of this life that I can

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS. They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them. Show the billionaires our solidarity is stronger than their greed. #NoContractNoCoffee

We got trick or treaters for the first time ever and honestly I've never been more thrilled. I want to make "random neighbor who hands out the good candy" my whole identity

I got trick or treaters for the first time!!!! Don't know what we did differently this year to get them for the first time in 4 years at this place

Vaxxed and up to date. I'd like to think rfk jr. would be displeased with me and that puts a spring in my step

Youtube review of my game! youtu.be/270_sU5v9L8?...

My niece's debut novel is out today and I'm so darn excited to read it. Check it out if you like paranormal YA fantasy! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0FK...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

Choosing the right name for a cat is tough because you want it to be representative of their personality and you also want it to be important to YOU in some way, but most importantly you want it to be VERY screamable

a point I make over and over re: climate change is that there’s no point at which it’s time to throw up your hands and give up, because each tenth of a degree you can prevent is worth it 2C is better than 2.1C is better than 2.2C and so on and so forth

mood.

Please call your reps, friends. You don't have to make a lengthy speech. You can just say, "Hi, I'm a constituent living in [suburb name]. I'd like to ask [rep] to vote no on the spending bill. I don't want cuts to Medicaid and I don't want more funding for ICE."

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house. It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

Now feels like a good time to remind people that we are an Audible alternative—every time you buy an audiobook with us, you support your indie. Oh, & we're an employee-owned, Social Purpose Corporation—meaning we make decisions that benefit our mission, even if they go against our financial goals 🩷

As futile as it may be, I just wrote to Senators Cornyn and Cruz to ask them to oppose the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR, PBS, and their local affiliates. You can write to your senators here. 👇 protectmypublicmedia.org

So this is us trusting our communitea to hold us. Anyone who is able to contribute through the link below will get the name of their choice engraved on a plaque of SOS (Save Our Shop) Angels to be permanently installed in the tea house and a photo pinned on the discord. square.link/u/La2AFWmg

The thing about this is that Walz is who the center-left should be trying to be! Common sense policies that make people’s lives better. People like that! Those of us farther to the left can have policy differences with guys like this, but at least we know he’s not actively doing harm!

just a reminder that the dem who ran this campaign unseated a 3x gop incumbent who had never won by less than double digits

TODAY

You do NOT have to accept this! Post on the public comments to pressure them to NOT do this! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

BREAKING: The Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, holds that Florida’s anti-drag law is likely unconstitutional and upholds the injunction barring enforcement of the ban. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Sure, I'll just cut out all those prescriptions I take for funsies instead of because they literally keep me alive

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

Your nostalgia for HP does not and never will be more important than trans lives, safety and welfare. Get rid of the media, stop buying the merch and don't support new things cause it just lines that hateful transphobes pockets so she can continue to use her wealth for evil.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Good morning Bluesky !

This page made it easy to submit comments on the proposed passport changes that would make transphobic bigotry even more of a policy: transequality.org/news/freedom...

I enjoy shouting about things I love. This is a pleasing meme. I will talk about nice things and I'd love to hear about yours. 1 like = 1 thing I love

Good time to make sure you're up to date on all your vaccinations and also to wear masks when out and about (if you stopped, you can start again). Help get others vaccinated too (offer to find info or to give rides).
