class of 2026 🥰🔥

I REALLY hope that when Sugar Moon is out in the world at last, this is how each and every one of you will introduce it. EVEN IF you just notice the spine and keep walking

Sometimes I get mad when I realize that asshole over there is made out of stars too

wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to get here first

Now's a great time to support LaVonnia Moore, a rural Georgia librarian who was fired because she approved a library display (set up by community members) that included a book featuring a transgender character. Her legal case enters the mediation process this week. 📚 www.gofundme.com/f/help-lavon...

okay I'm not gonna start anxious-posting about this but one reoccurring piece of "reassurance" is getting to me about hantavirus reporting they keep saying, "only one strain of the virus can pass from person-to-person, the Andes strain" YES WHICH IS THE ONE THE PEOPLE ON THE CRUISE SHIP HAVE

slightly increase a band The B-53.5's

You are worried about hantavirus when you should be more worried about this... stay safe y'all

Fear Of Lack Of Fear of Missing Out when you're so far away from anything exciting going on that you're afraid there's something out there you don't even know you're missing out on FOLOFOMO

THIS, *everyone.*

Marjorie belongs in one place. The trash can. Not up in nobody's leftist coalition.

if she wants to move against Trump, she's welcome to do so. if she wants to vote for Democrats, that's fine. she can do whatever she wants, it's still a free country for white Republicans! but to imply that any of us should have to LISTEN TO HER OPINIONS is simply nonsense. we don't owe her shit

It’s a damn good Sunday to help some strangers out. They’ve been trying to meet this goal for over a year and I bet any amount would be super helpful.

Seen at a used bookstore in Charlottesville, Virginia.

just realized that my bio claims I write "fiction and horror," which, I think at the time I was thinking "realistic fiction and also horror" BUT looked at another way, the implication is that Sugar Moon, my lesbian werewolf novel, is nonfiction, maybe I'll go with that

I didn't tell you that when I was working out yesterday I rediscovered Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" is this the kind of thing I should keep to myself

Real talk: those of us who are coming to or are already in LA during Star Wars Celebration next year should plan some kind of meetup in protest of the scalpers. I’m seeing so many of us, but ESPECIALLY Black fans saying they couldn’t get tickets in time and I think we could organize behind this.

Bolsonaro went to JAIL! like, *jail* jail, like REAL jail with bars and a toilet in the room jail

Best film adaptation of The Odyssey, wrong answers only

I've never had my writing life summed up so exactly before

given that I haven't even worn like 7/8 of the bodystockings I stress bought from a favorite lingerie site two years ago, I probably shouldn't...buy more .....right?

"emergency maintenance" is an interesting way to say "global hacker attack." DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE, ED SOFTWARE!!

Can’t wait until taking away Black representation solves nobody’s problems and in fact makes them all worse

I know this was several ages ago but remember the Louvre heist? that brought us together with the best memes since feral hogs

GOALS

this story of what happened when someone discovered they could have the phone number 867-5309 is some cracked out version of the American Dream

I want to walk and get a cup of coffee but the weather says feels like 35 Two months ago I’d be like “hell yeah hoodie and shorts weather” but in May I’m like “dearest Martha I have lost a foot to the cold I may never make it back to you”

maybe I should write an actual essay instead of posting on here so much MAYBE

help I got jealous of this girl because of a specific person possibly being interested in her and looked at some photos and now I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON HER WHAT TO DO

@rachelvetica.bsky.social did you see this? the article below it seems like something that would interest you: pixelframe.design/burger-king-...

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

in theory I'd like to take a selfie with my I Voted sticker to show you how long my hair is now AND to prove that I voted in the primaries but omg I do not feel like photo-taking at all I DID VOTE HOWEVER

this is the most relevant post of 2026

People who pay no price at all are always the first to say "it's a small price to pay"

in the midst of the horrors, let's not forget that there's an episode of Full House where Uncle Jesse misses an important event because MUNI breaks down and makes him late 10/10 realism

are any of my muturals in Ohio? I feel like I don't typically connect to people who are here but MAYBE I AM WRONG and if so, don't forget to vote in the primaries today

why haven't I seen anyone make the association with the Met Gala and the way the Capitol citizens dress in the Hunger Games

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

On the Elon Musk thing by the way: You do more work than Elon Musk. Your value to society is also far greater. Even if you actually do nothing. Because he breathes death. He's killed millions of people with DOGE alone. That's just a fact. But it was also true before he did that.

no, I don't have a favorite "star war." personally, I'm more interested in "star peace"

I've been celebrating being DONE FOR THE SUMMER with Buffy episodes and I've discovered that Willow is...a terrible person? when I was 14 I played her online in a Buffy roleplaying group so you can imagine what this realization is forcing me to restructure internally

slightly diminish a book to wound a mockingbird

Congratulations. I promise that you're not missing anything. I will be ordering your book.

I feel like companies may have done this in previous years without it seeming so funereal? Anyway, RIP

oh by the way, next time I have a meeting with my bosses/department and someone starts talking breathlessly about AI again, I should definitely shout "SIT PEEING DOWN" in the middle of the meeting, right

my hair is longer than it's been in 10 years by a LOT and I like it in theory but in practice I'm getting hair all over the house and it feels really heavy on the back of my neck and it might be time to cut it all off again
