March 4, free, on Zoom: "State of Change 2026: What You Need to Know About Craft, Tech, and How to Build an Unstoppable Story Engine" I'm talking about why the "write it and launch it" model is a trap, and what Dynamic Storytelling looks like instead. No unrealistic promises, just solid advice!

10/10 recommend. Such a good read! One of the most engaging non-fiction books I've ever read and the best one I read last year

LOOK AT THIS DIVINE BEAUTY 😍 I LOVE HER

Theme song of all time

Wish I had something pithy to say about this article but all I can think is how few of my friends and none of my locals wear masks in public places. Contributing to the invisibility of disabled people, perpetuating eugenic mindsets and policies, feeding the fascist machine with their neglect. 💔

now this is news you can use

This is slightly embarrassing to ask but academic friends if you teach my work in your courses could you be so kind as to let me know which piece, for what course, and of course the university/department etc! I'd be eternally grateful! if you'd prefer via DM's please feel free!

There are people I don't get along with well or even like, but if they agree all people deserve human rights & that fascists are like, the fuckin worst, then we don't have to be besties. Let's fuckin' go. But if they say "what if we just abandon trans/Black/disabled people" they're the enemy.

If you’re into MM Romance, I encourage you to learn about and read who I consider to be the Godfather of MM Romance - E. Lynn Harris. He wrote 10+ NYT bestsellers in the 1990s & 2000s featuring Black Queer characters. lambdaliteraryreview.org/2013/08/e-ly... #ELynnHarris #MMRomance #Romancelandia

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

Stumbled upon this satirical song from the 60s called “Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK” on YouTube. Performing this song back in the 60s was brave bruh 😭 “And if you don’t like that then call the cops cuz chances are they’re us” 😭😭 youtu.be/J3TcUA5jE6o?...

It's hardly one of my favorite songs but I gotta say one of my fave song *titles* is Pink Floyd's "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict"

"It bothers me that people often don’t even blink at what I share, glossing over the serious ramifications of what one SARS-CoV-2 infection did to my life. I hold years of knowledge, research, & pain inside me." Powerful new essay by @wanderingkayli.bsky.social 🙌 thesicktimes.org/2026/02/02/s...

“Did they grow up under a rock??” Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control. This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Oh dang ❤️‍🔥

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

I fiercely believe that shared joy is the best joy. We all need each other, maybe more than ever. There isn't a person I know who didn't have a rough 2025 or even a rough few years. Share joy every chance you get. Send a cute selfie! Share a lovely sunset. Remind people you are thinking of them.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

thank you for sharing this! printable version with alt text

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

Excellent essay from labor-knowledgeable and labor-intensive artist Tabitha Arnold on community action and how calling things something they're not undermines effective resistance tabithaarnold.substack.com/p/a-strike-i...

So! Good!

this “chicago bail fund” and the entire network of newly registered bail funds are all scams. illinois made cash bail illegal in 2023 thanks to the incredibly hard work of many people, some of whom i know personally, so this is especially stupid

Ok timeline cleanser. Show me your teen celebrity crushes in gifs.

This Friend speaks my mind, as they say. 🧵

Dems managed to get a 2-week delay on the DHS bill, so CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.

For fuck's sake DON'T TELL THEM?

putting Darren Aranofsky under Natasha Lyonne on the list of "people who have done interesting work in the past, but whose future work, all of it, AI or not, should be thrown in the trash". Use AI, get fucked.

I tell people they should mask because you don't want to suddenly be allergic to shit you once enjoyed. It sucks actually

This bill passed both chambers in Kansas today —>

Y’all I am really sorry that we live in a world where some of the worst people to ever exist at all levels have destroyed the ability to simply enjoy cute animal photos on the internet but that is the world in which we unfortunately live, and those squirrel box things are fake, sorry again

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

This is the real thing, from what’s visible from here. He seems to get that he can never fix the harm he’s caused, but also that he has an obligation to spend the rest of his life fighting to mend that hole in the universe the best that he can—fully aware that that’s also how he heals himself. ❤️‍🩹

Good to see evidence that focusing on anything, even stuff I want to do and enjoy, is difficult, frustrating, and just as exhausting as physically-demanding activities.
