A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

So....after much deliberation and encouragement from loved ones, I've put together a GoFundMe after facing several financial burdens and medical debts... Any help or sharing would really go a long way... Thank you so much. gofund.me/5bfe73dd9

Did you know I co-run an acting school? Well, we've recently opened a chapter here in LA, and our students are getting GREAT results It's an uplifting and inclusive environment to work your craft safely, without using past trauma.

WCK is serving free meals for furloughed federal workers impacted by the U.S. government shutdown. These meals are available to federal employees and their families. Below are locations and hours. #ChefsForFeds (1/2)

Crypto Arena using re-usable cups is the stupidest concept I have ever seen in my entire life. Emptying plastic bottles into reusable cups that DO NOT HAVE LIDS is asinine.

That virginity sentence should be enough to put you on a list

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Deep tissue massages are the best and worst at the same time. My sciatic nerve issue had been fixed but my body hurts at the slightest touch 💀

In regards to sales, lists and acknowledgement would be cool but more than anything I’d love for The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Magic & Murder to reach enough people that my publisher says, “ah heck yeah, give us two more.” (Book 2 is already slotted for 2026)

Reminder: Oppose and repeal all the age/ID verification laws. They're not protecting their kids but they are censoring you and demanding your personal info. Tell them to stop. Tell them to get rid of this shit.

Only in LA would you see a sign on a post for someone wanting to buy your soul.

Watching influencers in the wild set up, record, re-record and set up shots while you're sipping your coffee is the peak of LA.

Just had the pleasure of explained what the omegaverse is to @vincecaso.com I realized I needed a PowerPoint for this.

I'm in love with these snapshots during the #darknessemergent of my character Piper! Night 1 was goth punk but Night 2 was when she went fancy. Anarch Thin Bloods can clean up quite well 😉 @bynightstudios.bsky.social @darknessemergent.bsky.social @diablerievisuals.bsky.social

Please fill this in even if you’re not a creator. You can fake the page url or just put it as patreon dot com. This is important, we need to shower them with negative feedback, because they clearly have plans in mind and are just looking for minimal support to put them in motion.

Tomorrow at 1 PM PST we’re playing to raise money for my friend Blizz’s treatment! Please come by! www.twitch.tv/projectmedus...

Today's the LAST DAY to grab your discounted ticket for my private D&D game tomorrow. I'd love to play with you, and show you the custom time-warping mechanics I've developed JUST for this game! :D

hey, cis folks! this is monstrous & it’s only going to get more common & if you remember 2020 when white moms stood between cops & black protestors that’s probably what it’ll take in some cases for trans people to survive using a public bathroom in the same shape they went in. i hope you will.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW. Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded And KEEP CALLING

Massage therapist: We only have 5 minutes left. I think I can fix your shoulder. You said you're on vacation? Me: Yup! Massage therapist: Good. It will probably hurt for a week. *proceeds to destroy my shoulder to fix it* Me: 😬 *At this moment, I knew I fucked up.*

Something that no one prepared me for with having cats is the amount of times I will just look at them, and they blink and purr at me, and I'll just start crying because of how much they love me.

Just a reminder that if you're working on the HBO Harry Potter show, or the audiobook, or making/buying licensed Harry Potter products, or covering *any* of the previously noted without mentioning JK Rowling's virulent and non-stop transphobia, this is what you're supporting:

Gotta love waking up from a dream and thinking there's bugs in my skin.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

love how we said "defund the police" and they said it was impossible then they defunded literally everything *BUT* the police, smh

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Guess who was here first and decided to take over? Dia, the calico, always needs a cuddle buddy!

Fight the Empire.

I cannot describe how much I am in love with @blueprincegame.bsky.social There is sooo much lore, and puzzle solving and investigation. I've 30+ hours deep and barely scratched the surface as to what this game holds.

Used Inkbox this past weekend for my tattoos for a LARP and I think I may want to legit get these inked onto my skin?! Uh oh...

Meet Piper, my character for this weekend's #DarknessEmergent event! Cannot wait to do my first LARP ever at this event!! @bynightstudios.bsky.social @darknessemergent.bsky.social

i really don't have the words to process what happened a few days ago. but to put it simply: a friend took his own life. if you can, in his memory, help our friend that's been impacted severely by this, i'd be forever grateful i'll hopefully find more words soon 😔🤍

"Look around, take stock of where you are, and know this: Today, right now—and I mean right this second—you have the most power you’ll ever have in the current fight against authoritarianism in America." A really important read. Here's a no-paywall gift article. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

I have never played a Monster Hunter game and Wilds is my first one. I am SO lost on what I am doing. This tutorial monster is... confusing 💀

Do I have any friends going to the Darkness Emergent event in May in LA? I'm going to be building a character soon and would love a group since it'll be my first LARP!

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Friends with indoor cats, please PLEASE make sure you are spraying your shoes soles down before entering your house, even entrt ways. A 50/50 mix of Hypochlorous (.005%) and water is what you need to kill the bird flu. This is vet recommended and safe for pets.

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

My wife was laid off today by EA. She’s an awesome video game producer with more than two decades of experience. If anyone is in need or knows of anyone in need of a producer please DM me. Greatly appreciate any leads.

Look for recs! This year I am trying to do more "things" for myself. Currently, I'm on a museum and visuial experience kick. What are some your favorite things in LA and adjacent areas?

Saw a clip from the finale for CR 3 and the ending just made me sob. My heart is happy and complete because of it.
