Absolutely can't be here right now, brain's too bad. Sending hugs.

Happy international asexuality day!!! 🖤💜🤍

i believe in redemption, grace, restorative justice and second chances. but nobody is entitled to wealth, fame, or mass adoration—and if a path back to all that even exists for louis c.k., it ran in the opposite direction from putting on a tie and doing “trigger the libs” bits in saudi arabia

Happy Easter, He is risen, today I had mini-eggs and an 82% raw cacao bar for breakfast and just unhinged my jaw to eat an entire Creme Egg because LENT IS OVER.

This is SUCH a good series.

This is the night, when Christ broke the bonds of death and hell, and rose victorious from the grave. How wonderful and beyond our knowing, O God, is your mercy and loving-kindness to us, that to redeem a slave, you gave a Son.

Sereda Aeducan developed a liking for rose perfume which persists even after Alistair...well. Juniper Hawke smells like soap, either basic Lowtown stuff or fancy Hightown bars. Audrun Cadash likes musk and vetiver, and Bull approves. Enasal Thorne smells like elfroot salve.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Don't know which I love more, Dana in sunglasses or the epic side-eye Joy is giving Ogilvie. #thepitt

Jonathan the Tortoise, who did NOT die

Happy #Passover to all who celebrate from adoptable kitty gal Matzah at @AWANJ, the Animal Welfare Association of NJ (Voorhees, NJ)! Isn’t she adorable? Give her a home: www.awanj.org/adopt-a-pet/... or help spread the word!

Our Gillian Welch cover story available to read online today! bittersoutherner.com/issue-no-13/...

Gotta read as many genres as possible to get the right balance of literary vitamins and minerals.

Anyway. Happy trans day of visibility everyone 🏳️‍⚧️ I see you and you are valid and safe with me 💛

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Hopefully Project Hail Mary does so well that we can get a sequel to The Nice Guys that does so well that we get a sequel to Master and Commander, two sequels that should have already happened imho

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

We have so many worthy, wonderful young adult cats who’ve been passed over time & time again, many have never had a single application in nearly a year of being in our rescue. If you’ve been thinking of adopting, maybe one of them is your perfect match! Elkon, MD www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

Hey, listen, Hollywood -- wacky idea, but maybe just maybe the key here is to make cool original stories because they sure seem to do well. If only there was an entire REALM of cool books by very cool authors you could use as the bedrock of those original stories. If only. *stares* *stares harder*

Dear brain, we were doing so well. Do the apocalyptic nightmares have to start again? This is not a good way to start a week.

Slept in a U2 tee shirt and woke up where the streets have no name, unable to find what I'm looking for.

Watching reaction videos--interesting that most female reactors immediately identify Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" being about a difficult pregnancy/birth, while male reactors say "...someone's dying?" I knew it was about childbirth, and I first heard it out of context in an Alias episode.

Bad brain day, very bad, revising plans to "hide in dark bedroom and hiss at people", why are you like this brain.

Setzer is still looking for his perfect forever family and we think he will get along with just about everyone & his tripod status doesn’t limit him at all. He is even available with his buddy/colonhmate Laguna if you want to adopt a pair who are already pals! www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

Hang it in the Louvre. Or the home, office or classroom. artologica.etsy.com

The way his voice cracked when he said "potato-potahto" was like a stab to the heart. #thepitt

My little rescue for disabled, difficult and different cats is so close to its target -- and the requests for help just keep coming. We want to say yes to as many cats with nowhere else to turn as we can, which means we need you ❤️

if we’re talking young wizard books I must recommend Diane Duane’s young wizards books, which I adored as a child also, while they are not technically about wizards, Dealing with Dragons/Searching for Dragons by Patricia Wrede are also phenomenal fantasy reads for kids

they’re building a new style of interchange here and i don’t think most men are going to be able to find their way around it

An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. @thebookishtype.bsky.social, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Go support them!

I remember when it was announced that Oscar Isaac was announced to play Duke Leto Atreides in “Dune”, and my first reaction was, and I quote: “That’s a good choice, because I, too, would gladly ruin the centuries-long plans of my Order for a piece of that”.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “We'll come out of this. And let me tell you something: If none of us are here to see it, tell your children who the cowards were.”

Your childhood is supposed to be a place you visit in memory, not a place kept alive by an endless stream of nostalgia-based new content that you will forever be paying for. You can’t really go back there, and you’re *not supposed to.*

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

I have this *exact dream* once every couple of months, right down to the progression of "where's the class--the final's today--did I even attend this class?!?"

You are laughing? The worst person in the world is failing at the job she isn’t qualified for and you are LAUGHING?

I remain snickeringly delighted that someone actually did the "This man visibly could bench-press the Statue of Liberty, but I'm different, I can take him" scene that plays out in every single season of Reacher. If Even Lorger Man could not take out Lorge Man, you do not stand a chance in hell.

It’s Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Day. The fact that everyone knows about the Titanic and no one knows about the largest industrial disaster of the era says a lot about our priorities and how we view class and labor

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

Setzer is now up on Petfinder! He is ready to find his perfect home— he is an absolute sweetheart. He seems like he would love to be another friendly cat’s buddy but could also be fine as an only cat with someone who can give him lots of affection and interaction. www.petfinder.com/cat/setzer-1...

It's probably good that I didn't get to watch #thepitt last night, because I wouldn't have been able to sleep. That episode didn't let you catch a breath. Justice for Nurse Jesse and Emma, and by "justice" I mean "someone give Dana a flamethrower".

*Katherine Howard voice:* Wow, that almost could have been really hard for you.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Since I have many non-romance followers, enjoy the time someone showed up on Nora's blog to tell her how publishing works. 😂 Only if you want to witness a murder, tho www.themarysue.com/nora-roberts...

Not gonna boost the article - but suggesting to *any* writer that they’d be successful if only they worked harder/networked better/were more of an extrovert is like telling a cancer patient they’re only dying because they don’t really want to live. 100% fuck off with that noise.

A radicalizing moment for me was Jamelle Bouie talking about how reproductive control was essential to American chattel slavery. If you do not have control over pregnancy and birth, you are not free. You are not a person under the law.

My one step plan to save democracy: Instead of Presidential debates, Chotiner interviews each candidate live on TV. We've done dumber things.
