I honestly don’t know how well letter-writing campaigns work, but I signed this and wrote a comment. If you live here, maybe you can do the same.

Do y’all not see that these attempts to make Mamdani a Jew vs Muslim issue is CLASSIC white supremacy pitting minority groups against each other in order to divide us because we are very dangerous to them when we’re in community?? Are y’all for real gonna fall for that shit!?

Fucking bigots are scared of their own shadow. Which is fair, because their shadow’s attached to a bigot.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

I don’t know, peeps, but I just keep coming back around to the idea that what so many people want is a hopeful vision of a better world, with autonomy, dignity, & respect for all, affordability of food/shelter, education, medical care, clean air/water, & a place in a community. That’s the message.

Oh NYC, congratulations! Now if Minneapolis can just do the same to Frey…

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Hi! Cis queer person here who overwhelmingly supports trans rights, yes. And I am not alone in that.

it is beyond time to see your own complicity in the present moment: when you only mask at protests & never even consider doing so in the grocery store, pharmacy, on public transit, you contribute to a social climate able to criminalize protective tools. CHOOSE SOLIDARITY, prevent infection, mask up.

I have the newest @guygavrielkay.bsky.social book now in my hands (worth the wait to support @bookshop.org ) and I fully plan to be crying by… hmm, evening tomorrow, at a guess?

I always, always thought I was Brown, until someone on here said White was the “spreadsheet Ajah” and now I might have to change allegiances. (Did you know Excel has a 255 character limit for formulas? I didn’t until I accidentally hit it.) #TarValonTuesday #SaveWoT #TheWheelOfTime

Joy has been my favorite non-reader reactor since I found her videos. She's truly a part of this community and her reaction here speaks for all of us, I think. (Also, she's going to react to the books, which should be amazing) #TheWheelOfTime #SaveWoT youtu.be/jfe_ceIOsnE?...

The Golden Crane flies for Tarmon Gai'don! #TheWheelOfTime #SaveWOT

Confectioners sugar is just kitchen glitter, I swear. I thought I had gotten it all but nope!

Think I might do a #TheWheelOfTime rewatch to work out my feelings… on Apple TV, since I promptly cancelled my ad-free Prime subscription.

So your wages are higher than before, but... You can't afford college. Or a house. Or healthcare. Or childcare. Or to eat food that doesn't come chlorine rinsed and full of chemicals unfit for European consumption... But you can afford a sweet phone, a few handheld gaming devices, and a gaming PC!

@soundscapeoftime.bsky.social Is there a way to play these on mobile if my books are in Audible? The only thing keeping me from getting them is that it looks like it’s PC only from the FAQ…

If you’ve been following because you’re fellow WoT fans, you can probably expect me to talk more about the other things I’m doing, like getting back into #FFXI and continuing the learn Japanese. Some sewing, some knitting, some cats.

Yes, I’ve seen the #TheWheelOfTime news and it’s depressing as hell thinking about not seeing the rest of Rafe’s vision of the show. It will sit in my heart next to the sorrow of never getting to see the end of RJ’s vision of the books.

I may have had a little too much downtime at work today, as I’ve now studied Japanese for 4 hours in between work tasks.

Plantations are mass graves and memorials to atrocities. They should be treated like concentration camps, because that's exactly what they are. They should be treated as such, not used as wedding venues or party sites.

Like, so many people are talking about the loss of a business with genuine grief (and making videos about it!) and not once engaging with how plantations were built and what they actually represent in American history. It's wild to do that with your whole name and face attached.

Oh my gods &Juliet had no right going that hard. What an incredibly funny show. #musicaltheatre

Phone. Listen. I am a sewist. I have typed “armscye”a hundred times. Stop trying to correct me!

Honestly, it deserves all the seasons because I have a powerful need to see [person] tell [person] something shocking over a cup of tea. Neeeeeed. But okay, sure, let’s start with S4 renewal and work from there.

Hey @wotconofficial.bsky.social can't message you and haven't been able to get an answer to either email or web contact form. #WoTSkies, help?

These have been a joy and a delight all season, and I cannot imagine how hard it was to trawl through the incoherent fan screaming after the finale to create this one. (Sun)hats off to @helencarnatenh.bsky.social for all the amazing work on these.

Idly realizing that RJ’s worldbuilding more or less rests on the Andoran noble houses and the Aiel sharing the same set of recessive physical traits. As a blue-grey eyed ginger, I feel like I probably should have consciously picked that up earlier. #WoTBookSpoilers #WoTSkies

There are so many good systems out there that don't see the light of day because D&D has an outsized grip on what a TTRPG is to people.

But we on the left still succumb to carceral thinking. We think that people can simply avoid the legal system with good decision making. But that's like saying if you eat right and exercise, you won't need healthcare. That's not how it works. Shit happens.

It is not quite my birthday but it is close enough, so I have sushi and cheesecake and a new release in Dreamlight Valley to play

#wotskies It's time to tap the sign again. Look, I would love to play a good Wheel of Time game...but anything iwot says it's making should be taken with a VERY large grain of salt. Broke down their contentious history with Robert Jordan when they announced their AI last year. Still relevant:

👇 Though in all honesty and outside of their (admitted) use for, erm, potential developments… I just quite like them. They make the world lived in.

I just had to stop following a favorite WoT content creator because of vitriol against the finale and it fucking sucks Everyone has a right to have any opinion they want but I just…if i find myself wondering if you still like the show I dunno, there’s no fun there

And honestly? No one else is in that scene. It’s all Sophie and Siuan. She fills that entire space. That’s a grand speech—I hear it; I’m moved by it. It’s the great sacrifice queers are never given. The hero’s moment. She’s the hero. And in the Wheel of Time, we get to see our heroes again

Loved this even more than most of their #TheWheelOfTime reviews. The full-throated call to renew the show after almost skipping S3 ❤️ I’m never going to think of Compulsion as anything other than “the power of retcon” now youtu.be/4OnfhWzcYAk?...

- Moiraine and Lanfear not dying (or “dying,” depending on how they go with it): can easily happen and heavily signposted #WoTBookSpoilers

Also, I think I need to step away from #WoTSkies for a bit because fan reactions are absolutely getting under my skin and they shouldn’t be.

An incomplete list of things I am not worried about “not happening” in #TheWheelOfTime - Wolf Dreams: can easily still happen - Slayer: can easily still happen (though possibly simplified) - Nynaeve vs Moggy: not only could still happen, but heavily signposted #WoTBookSpoilers

Excellent thread, and mostly what I was trying to get to yesterday. I disagree that the final scene was *needlessly* cruel b/c in a world with Healing you have to telegraph “dead-dead” very firmly, but I acknowledge it *does* cause & exacerbate existing trauma, particularly for BIPOC people

Welcome to the longing #WoTSkies may it be short Our love for each other and for WoT will get us through this again.

Order of preparation matters. When you’re sous chef’ing, you do all the vegetables first (with onions and tomatoes last), swab the countertop, then do proteins. DON’T WASH YOUR MEAT. It doesn’t remove anything that will make you sick, but it will spread what will make you sick all over your sink.

Dunno, now that #TheWheelOfTime is (temporarily!) over, might try #murderbot. The books were wonderful, though I’m not sure I’m going to be up for quite that much gore in glorious technicolor

I fucking love Star Trek but if someone started directly funneling the profits from the Star Trek franchise into destroying a vulnerable minority for the sake of their own bigotry I would chuck Star Trek out the window in a heartbeat. So if you can't let go of Harry Potter, you got a *problem.*

Did end up rambling. Maybe not coherently, but I needed to get those thoughts out. Far too long for Bsky, however, so: www.tumblr.com/myalchod/781... (Link contains vague book spoilers and, obviously, explicit show spoilers through the S3 finale.) #TheWheelofTime #WoTonPrime #WoTShowSpoilers

Holy shit, uh, hello #WoTSkies who are now following me because I got grumpy at people accusing Rafe of employing Bury Your Gays. My friend joked that I should use my mini 5 minutes of fame wisely so, uh, stand up for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

#WoTShowSpoilers Finn: What is your need??! Fandom: Season 4, NOW! #TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies

*deep breath* Well, I'm pulling out my text editor again, so you know I've Got Shit To Say. Who am I to be saying them? I'm a queer woman who has been a WoT fan since 1995. However, even among queer people opinions differ, so I'm speaking only for myself. (1/12) #TheWheelOfTime #WoTShowSpoilers

meanwhile, the wheel of time tv series was quietly confirming trans women can be aes sedai
