Alright, Mecha Amalthea deserves her own post. The Last Unicorn

The move here is brilliant too - make feminism seem like a *luxury* concern so any woman fighting for it can be dismissed as privileged. Meanwhile the "serious problems" mysteriously always require women to shut up and wait their turn.

Ahmad and his family, like many Gazans, needs regular support to help secure their basic needs, like shelter and food. Please help if you can, even if only by sharing!

Please help if you can!

I've been doing really badly lately. Heavy depression, suicidal feelings, anhedonia, lots of difficulty getting things done. I keep having little glimmers of relief or hope through it, but overall having hope has been really hard. I want things to get better.

very close to 5k on this! please help if you can

Please repost if you see this, let’s elevate Trans people!

you legitimately could not get me to care a single bit about "falling birth rates" for a myriad of reasons but especially with the way this society treats women and trans people and children in particular sorry. child abuse is just the norm worldwide. let the birth rates fall tbh

just to be clear, this also means that huge numbers of romance titles are now functionally out of print. and sure, romance has always been an ephemeral genre, but this decimates the genre in a very real way. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/b...

Academic friend sending me snippets by *the* Indian postcolonial theorist arguing that because women in the Mahabharata were 'powerful' gender wasn't a thing before the British raj and also Indian women don't need feminism.

One of central strategies of anti-feminism is the effort to depict feminism as a vanity movement, a grab for more privilege, instead of a real human concern that addresses a a serious need in the world. This always paints gender oppression as a secondary problem at best.

This superb fantasy romance was on my top ten romance reads for 2025! 🦉💜

How’s everyone doing today

CR: They of the West As I prepare to edit The Gilded Veil, I wanted a refresher on the story, the characters, and their voices. Things will change, and I want to make sure the through lines of that change between books are secure if that makes any sense. I may occasionally post comments as I go

I think an underrated part of romance is the snuggling

A5: Well this fucker needs dental surgery and it's gonna be like $900 soooo if anyone wants to toss a coin to their writer, I'd greatly appreciate it ko-fi.com/diannagunn #WeeknightWriters

somebody earlier was like "i hope the people responsible for this end up UNDER the jail" and i can't disagree

Please help Abo Jameel raise some money to take care of his family!

Nurse Hammam is one of many Gazans who is struggling to secure even basic needs for shelter and blankets during the winter weather. We can help them by sharing and donating!

Please help Ahmad's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving & homeless in winter. His mother needs urgent treatment for retinal disease. Bluesky keeps deleting him, & donations are low:

We're still stuck at 1 percent of Hailey's goal. Can we get it to 10 percent today? 🏳️‍⚧️💖

I think I actually feel some hope today?

Boosting, please help if you can! Alaa's husband is a prisoner and her family is severely struggling

If you have a network with a decently large following, please consider adopting a Minneapolis family to pay their rent this month. This is being done in a decentralized fashion because a lot of the groups getting $ are having their Venmo frozen and it's hard to send mutual aid.

My brain got too fried today to pick this up so I'm going to boost Greg, and tomorrow I am going to try to do this as well! This money goes directly to Greg, who can send it to the family in one payment that doesn't risk freezing their accounts! DIRECT AID, IMMEDIATELY. No waiting.

The audiobook of Time Loops & Meet Cutes is more than 50% off at libro.fm right now!

Please help my friend Allison!

ICYMI my friend @transqueerfem.bsky.social needs your support. She's an incredible trans/travesti writer, educator, translator and activist in Brazil. Her mom has cancer and she's been unable to work while taking care of her. Please give whatever you can spare: ko-fi.com/haileykaas

STOP scrolling. For the next 5 seconds, breathe with him. My son ali urgently needs surgery to place a device that helps him breathe. Every delay is dangerous. Please help save his life. Even $1 or a share can give him a chance to breathe again. Please don’t look away now Help gofund.me/7fc0e346

Please help Ahmad's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving & homeless in winter. His mother needs urgent treatment for retinal disease. Bluesky keeps deleting him, & donations are low:

Today I feel a little bit better. I'm not sure how long that will last but I'll celebrate it while it's here.

Abo Jameel’s family keeps trying to last the winter weather and they keep struggling. Please help if you can!

I am here going to suggest you get Dil or No Dil, the short story collection, because it contains the best romance short I have ever read (Jesse's Girl, a stone cold classic riff on Jolene) and IMO Suleikha is the best short-form romance writer working today. goodreads.com/book/show/41...

I'm 48 today! You don't have to buy 48 of my books but one or two would be nice! #romancelandia Tikka Chance on Me books2read.com/u/mKKrNv Kick at the Darkness books2read.com/u/4Xrqqv Frostburn books2read.com/u/47aYWq Spoiled Brit books2read.com/u/3LBQjw Nobody's Bargain books2read.com/u/bxD0no

I think I need to accept the fact that I'm still dealing with pretty serious depression, even while medicated and so many months after the start of one of my worst depressive episodes I've ever had. I'm really not doing that well, but it helps bring some peace to be able to acknowledge that

It’s really something watching super-rich assholes only care about getting richer, while the rest of us ordinary folks are out here every day passing around donations of money and time trying to keep us all alive and safe.

Boosting for Abo Jameel!

I do find it very sweet how Huwei praises Bomi's feminine gestures as something he finds attractive. It genuinely doesn't seem like mainstream gay portrayals in the U.S. show that anymore. Everyone's gotta be an athlete or firefighter or something, and if you're actually fem, you're sexless.

I think @goddessblade.bsky.social has brought up this dynamic before. We've overcorrected and don't really show these overtly masc/fem relationships on TV anymore, even in gay media.

I am in @therumpus.net today talking about how Heated Rivalry is connected to both chirping in Letterkenny and Shoresy, and also Pride and Prejudice and Austen film adaptations: therumpus.net/2026/02/02/m...

I rewatched a review of the Romancing SaGa 1 remaster and remembered what a beautiful game that is

oooh child things are gonna get easier oooh child things are gonna get brighter

Abo Jameel still is trying to secure a tent for him and his family. Please help if you can

starting to think trans issues aren't supposed to be a distraction

Boosting again for Abo Jameel, please help him secure a tent!

Calls to reform ICE instead of abolishing it align with some truly repulsive Republican ideology - namely, that the immigration crisis which ICE supposedly exists to combat is a real thing and not a xenophobic lie propped up by decades of anti-immigrant propaganda.
