Why the change in wording? #APNews The headline goes from "promotes unproven ties" to "makes unfounded claims" and I am wondering why. I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything. It's an interesting change, though.

Fellow tabletop gamers: Red Box Games is owned by a white supremacist. Let's make them bankrupt. #Tabletop #Gaming #RedBoxGames

Now that the white owner (Michele Amour) of the FB group I talked about in this thread has come out in support of Charlie Kirk, I am out. I can't recommend them for anyone. Melani needs to make them get their name changed faster to distance herself from all the mess the FB group is creating.

I've said for decades that my political philosophy acronyms to AWAIT: Authority Without Accountability Is Tyranny.

I won't miss the fountain of hatred that spewed out of that creature who looked like a carved puppet turned into a real boy through the power of racism and patriarchy. Fuck all of his views. I won't miss him. But no, I don't think he should have been shot in front of his family. #CharlieKirk

Henry Cavill was injured on the set of Highlander carrying the hopes and dreams of the film industry and those of every GenX nerd. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Dear audiobook narrators and authors (if you are not the same person): Please communicate with each other in regards to pronunciation of names and accents of your characters. It is jarring when things change between books. Looking at whatever/whoever happened to Gail Carriger's audiobooks.

I wish there was a way to monetize my weird brain. Who is interested in literal orgasms from food and some audio frequencies other than neuroscientists? #neurodivergent #foodgasms #Rule34Maybe

Tinder, but list the textures you can't stand, deep topics you can give a speech on with 5 minutes of notice, and post pics of your favorite eating utensils. Pet photos also required. #YesIAmAutistic #ADHD

The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.

The thing I have noticed about cis women's organizations right now is the tolerance paradox in action. Take WDNC. Their current banner on FB looks inclusive. However, they are tolerating people that defend JK Rowling every time some lady posts "IDNC that I am still a HP fan and an ally."

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

My sweet pupper Lafayette (he's 16 and will always be a pupper) is getting his favorite thing today: a snuffle mat with dried anchovies and bacon. This sweet baby earned it.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

In October, I have to travel to my small bumfuck Midwest town to see family, including my Trumper cousins and r*pist brother. I have told my husband that his job is to keep that one brother away from me. Wish me luck.

Fuck Israel x 1000.

As much as I love science fiction and fantasy fandom, I can't support WorldCon. Every year, it is the worst run convention I attend. I skipped this year and the reports after the event have only reinforced that decision. Learn people's names. You all should have known better.

Can we get Stephen Colbert and John Stuart to create a new Democratic Party because their current one keeps failing our up-and-coming young progressive leaders by the score. #Democrats #politics

Are you a switch or are you so much of a dopamine-chasing traumatized people pleaser that you will Top someone for the novelty of the experience and to make them happy? #KinkSky

Noted terrorizer of humans and dachshunds James Dobson has finally died. The celebration starts at 4:20.

I am overrun with pears from our trees and am putting them in everything. It's like that time I got ~20 lbs of kiwi from @jmalikauthor.bsky.social and made ice cream and jams for days. I have some big jars for pear vinegar and also brandy for making pear liqueur. What are your favorite pear recipes?

I've been wondering recently if the story of Cassandra was based on a neurodivergent woman because no one fucking believes us when we say things about patterns.

When I get around to writing down some of the weirdness I dream about, I will include a bit about a universal translation spell for the pedants because I know I will get caught out if I don't.

If you're not a fan, go fight the fascism while the fans recharge batteries. Swift fans will relieve you when your band has an album release. That is how this works. A prolonged resistance requires moments of joy and shift changes. It can't all be grimdark.

How it's going: Texted Dear Husband that we have three options for dinner depending on who has the most energy when he gets home. Am I fighting fascism? Yep. Will I be posting pics or plans about it? Nope. That's not how rogues work. I will say that it is tiring. Check in if you have my number.

Rich men are just bratty submissives Exhibit A: Mark Cuban over here with "We've been bad boys so come spank us and make us be good, Mommy." Fucking vile behavior when lives are at stake. Asshats.

To the woman in line at the grocery store: I know you aren't there at night when I wake up in pain from yet another cluster headache. You're not there with me at neurology appointments for a weigh-in where we discuss strategies for getting more calories.

I've got data showing Republicans commit child sexual assault at 16x the rate Democrats do. If you happen to have a Republican representative on break from Congress, share this with them. Ask them why they're collegial with child rapists. Ask for the unredacted Epstein files.

I'm not supposed to know that my amazing husband bought me a #sword for my birthday, but I do. It's a pretty and practical rapier. There will be photos with dresses and also actual fencing. Birthday is the 21st. I'm already excited!

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" say people who think that constantly raising the price of goods and charging increasingly large subscriptions and rents for everything, while people's wages stay the same is a sustainable model

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Does anyone know if any of the plants were saved and replanted elsewhere? #JackieKennedyRoseGarden

Hey folks in Washington state's 26th District! Let's keep Michelle Caldier out of government. She's a transphobic bully and incapable of being objective. washingtonstatestandard.com/2023/12/18/i...

Dear Stephen Fry: Thank you for finally seeing the light, but it is about five years too late for your leadership or voice to make a difference. You should've said something before the Supreme Court decision. You helped oppress trans people in the UK by defending her as long as you did.

If we do not push back against fascism now, more countries will fall after us. Billions depend on the #resistance we put forth. We have already failed hundreds of thousands of children (USAID cuts). Unite with protesters or die on your knees later when the #dictatorship no longer needs you.

No, doctor, you don't get to lecture me on whether or not I have too many partners when you can't tell me what a dental dam is or understand why I use them. I swear kink friendly doctors need a secret handshake or something.

True married bliss is looking at your new husband in the kitchen surveying all the leftovers from your reception and both of you realizing at the same time you can make the most epic loaded nachos. All backyard weddings should be this happy.

Straight conservative men who think that being gay is all about "sex and perversion" are telling on themselves. They can't imagine seeing a life partner as anything other than a source for sex and a baby incubator.

The etiquette rules for modern brides need to be rewritten. Simply making sure all of my guests with allergies and sensitivities have things they can eat and drink is, apparently, revolutionary. Why invite people to celebrate with you for several hours if you aren't serving them tasty food?

teenlibrarian.co.uk/2025/05/23/f... Well, fuck. This is going to be appealed and sent to the Supreme Court, which is what the most conservative circuit court in the country wants. If they uphold this ruling, I think it's time to get out.

I don't think progressives understand that our inability to organize has set back actual progress by 50 years. We now have to undo decades of damage, create stronger institutions to support the changes, and then keep on with progress. So much time is wasted fighting with people we want to help.

As a nerd born in 1980, everything I was made fun of for liking or doing is suddenly popular and I am processing some emotions about that. Anyone else understand what I mean?

For this, I would bring ALL my guns. And knives. And axes. And machetes. And tools.

Boycotting large chains is a privilege. Protesting is a privilege. Moving States or countries is a privilege. Prepping is a privilege. Growing your own food is a privilege. Stockpiling meds is a privilege. Far too many of the “solutions” to fascism are inaccessible to many disabled people.

One of the surgeries I may need soon is an elbow replacement. This will restore range of motion, but restrict me to lifting no more than 10-15 pounds the rest of my life. My inner rogue and beautiful goddess sister pointed out that a good, practical one-handed sword is only around 3. #TherapySwords

Oh sure celebrities can get away with wearing no pants at the Met Gala, but I do it in my backyard and suddenly I am "disturbing the neighbors."

Dear makeup artist I tried to book with on Wednesday: Your email confirmation the night before gave me your previous street address. So when you sent me a FB message less than 30 minutes before the appointment with the right address, I didn't see it. I, an extremely socially awkward autistic lady,
