Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.

Oh my gosh.... feathers! [2/2]

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

Lastly, #5) Never assume that you are too smart a person to fuck up and need to apologize. Or too good of a person. Or too well-intentioned. Or too ANYTHING. You're human. You WILL fuck up. And you will need to apologize. Who and what you are, are irrelevant.

Hunger’s Bite is fantastic, easily one of my faves this year. Pls check it out so I can live in hope of a train themed sequel

OH NO THEY'RE HOT

I QRT’d like “I write sex scenes like any other scene and plenty of ace people write flaming hot love scenes without ever being horny.” Christ on a vibrating dildo. Can you imagine having to be turned on *every time* you write a sex scene? Who has time for that?

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.

what a time. ♥️ the new puritanism is to blame for the loss of these covers. most social media sites & AMZ will not allow romance authors to buy ads with clinches, which puts Gadino out of a job, as discussed in this instagram post.

I don’t want to be one of those creators accused of inserting a thinly veiled fetish into their work. I would like to be known for my obvious, observable, unveiled fetishes.

What happened in New York is monumental. It shows that big money can be defeated, and that you can elect the leaders you deserve. I know it’s just the primary but New York sent a real message that I hope resonates across the Democratic Party.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

I'm always a fan of @ouropinions.bsky.social, but this ep about fascism & book bans is particularly great. I appreciate the thoughtful consideration of why satire isn't always the best tool for resistance, & the info about @authorsabb.bsky.social: ouropinionsarecorrect.libsyn.com/encore-episo...

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

Fiction by brown people doesn’t have to teach you a goddamn thing. If you do learn something, good on you. But we’re allowed to just entertain.
