I can't take people seriously who are protesting someone who has absolutely no power to affect the situation the people protesting claim they want changed. Y'all didn't want her in office. You got your wish. Go yell at the people making decisions or shut the fuck up!

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

#Romancelandia please help if you can. I'm currently out of work since breaking my ankle & having surgery on it early this summer. I have (free) virtual events planned for Nov. & Dec., but can't afford the resources necessary to make them happen. Thank you. gofund.me/20c20afe4

Microsoft's CEO says that he's "haunted" by another tech company going out of business because it didn't adapt, so that's why tens of thousands of workers had to be fired and all their products ruined with "genAI". When powerful men experience a feel, the world must bleed as penance.

Self-deprecating post on threads about how much blurb writing sucks. The comments: Just use ChatGPT!

I wish people cared about the first amendment rights of authors and artists who are getting their works banned in schools and libraries across the USA as much as they care about the rights of white male comedians to be on national TV

At this point all I want is images in DMs My friends and I exchange a lot of screenshots and pet photos! To have to leave the app every single time to use another platform is tedious! Pls put whatever safety guardrails on it, any restrictions, I don't care, but PICS PLS 😭

We really, really need a lot more people to do this. Will it make the current DSCC mad? Yes. Do we need to make the current DSCC mad? Yes.

BIG SALE ALERT!!! 25% off everything in the shop! We've got to make it the next two weeks until our book money hits, so we're doing one last huge sale! Great time to get spooky season goodies or to start stocking up on holiday gifts! thebrokencircle.etsy...

Why is blurb writing so hard? 😭 2 nights and probably close to a dozen versions later, I think I finally have a decent one. #Romancelandia #AmWriting 💙📚

The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with. It is, very frankly, a skill issue.

They've lost the 9yos

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

Then stop talking and do it.

Today is my birthday and that means 3 things! 1.) I get cake! 2.) I ask you to do something nice for yourself and tell me about it! 3.) I put my ebooks on sale for 32% off through Monday at shop.foxglovefiction.com!

The relaunch of my column Angry Black Lady Chronicles is today! It's super gay.

"[Politician] doesn't owe you anything" excuse me but a politician who would like the job of representing me does, in fact, owe me something Campaigns are job interviews. Politicians work for us. We call elected officials public servants for a reason

hello, i made this bot. i am a trans autistic anti-fascist. you are following a work of trans autistic anti-fascist art. that is why it is screaming

every company on earth demanding its underpaid workers use the garbage generator machine for everything and now they're mad that all they're getting is garbage

Meet Kat Abughazaleh, the only demon-possessed entity I am endorsing for Congress in 2026. "Against the power of Abughazaleh there can be no victory. We must join with her, BlueSky. We must join with Abughazaleh. It would be wise, my friends." Paid for by the Committee to Not Get Eaten By Demons.

This is all true btw

Not to make it all about trans people but hopefully all pf you flabbergasted by the Tylenol Autism news also recognize that this administration's anti-science mentality also applies to their stance on trans rights, including trans sports and trans youth healthcare. Science supports inclusion.

I am not trying to make a million dollars. All I want from my business is the ability to make a living wage. That's it.

Timeline Cleanse

I get it. It’s been almost a year of nonstop loss. I’m queer and disabled and love people who aren’t ecru so I am fully apprised of the situation. A win’s a win.

It’s also a pretty high profile win when it’s been months of nonstop loss, so yeah, people are gonna be a bit excited and that is A REALLY GREAT WAY TO GET OBJECTS IN MOTION TO STAY IN MOTION instead of resorting to shame.

Gently: instead of whatabouting the Kimmel thing, you can use the win to motivate people who are new to collective action. Don’t punish behavior you want to see, especially if you want to see more of it.

It would be sort of hellishly humorous if the rapture happened tomorrow but took all the truly good people, leaving those who are so sure they're the chosen ones that they're willing to do evil because of it.

While I am generally not the target market for any sort of nonconsensual sexual content, there is absolutely no world in which you can trust to the discretion of moderators in judging this sort of thing. It will always end badly, and in a different place from where YOU thought the line was.

An absolute must if you, like me, need something small to fidget with during zoom calls

I love my clicky duck. I pass it and bop it on its little head to click it all the time.

Pre-made book cover websites are absolute rabbit holes I do not need to be going down right now. They're all so pretttttyyyyyyy

Bluesky, just here to say I appreciate you when things are otherwise no laughing matter

True freedom is security and safety. It's having shelter, food, water, and knowing those things aren't at risk. It's in knowing you can leave unsafe relationships without considering finances. It's in dignity for disabled people and elderly and children. We provide none of that for our citizens.

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

TAX THEM ALL TAKE ALL OF THEIR MONEY 2% isn’t enough, you crybabies

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

So what are you doing to push/make better happen? Or at the very least, fight back? McConnell had the minority for years and managed to grind things to a stand still, so spare me "we don't have the numbers!"

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Happy #Caturday,

We were talking the other day about how the loss of RWA meant it was harder to find good cons and good craft talk. Chicago Sprint Fling has great guests and offers a hybrid online program as well! Do recommend for anyone interested in romance!

Outstanding con. Get registered.

I'll be there! Can't wait!

Every day is a learning curve when working to self-publish a book. My to-do list keeps growing. 😅

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.
