are you okay babe you’ve barely touched the novel your author bio says you’ve been working on for years

Happy Columbo’s Day

I've spent too much time psychologizing Trump, and yet today I just realized he's all the bad Willy Wonka kids rolled into one person. Except for the one that chewed too much gum, not sure what Dahl had an issue with there.

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments. Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

just want to say for don't underestimate the power of a simple $5 a month subscription to artists you want to support it may seem insignificant but to put it into perspective: if just 1/4 of my current follow count offered $5 I wouldn't have to worry about rent and focus more on art production

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

If I were an investigative journalist in the UK (are there any left?), I would be having a good look at the extent to which NHS leadership seems to have allied itself with a fringe medical movement that more or less condones conversion therapy. qnews.com.au/australian-r...

It says a lot that marvel/disney doesn’t sue when Nazis use their IP

When things feel pointless, remember the small things that make a difference in your life, then do them for yourself and others. A high protein meal. A big glass of water. Taking meds. A compliment or word of thanks. A long walk outside. I see how hard you're trying. Little things still matter.

I know it's popular to say if Stephen Miller got laid and/or wasn't picked on in school he wouldn't be like he is. As someone who didn't get laid and got picked on in school I'm pretty sure there is something more deeply wrong with him than tough school days.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Worth always keeping in mind that the Guardian has a commercial partnership with OpenAI, so nothing it writes about AI can be trusted

Went for an ECG and they shaved my chest 😭. Now there’s a weird bald patch in the middle, like the silliest most pathetic peekaboo window ever.

Also came home to learn a poem of mine is getting publication in a literary & arts magazine (can’t share details yet but hopefully soon)! Very exciting!

My poetry set went great! The other 3 poets were amazing (surreal & awesome to share a stage with Harry Josephine Giles!). The pics are the contents page of my WIP chapbook with read times for each poem, and the other is the final ‘set list’ written on the back of my hand.

Real quick just want to remind everyone that Graham Linehan is a deranged bigot

I’m going to write a letter this week. It would be cool if y’all did too.

This is everything always even devoid of its law context. This experience transcends itself and the quotes and responses prove it. And he’s 10 billion right — it’s exhausting

Another unrealistic -tober prompt.

This is spot on, and it’s shameful to see a government under the ‘Labour’ name falling this far. Spineless authoritarian bootlickers

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

My posting about being hopeful is not an invite for folks to poop on my hope

okay I’m sorry I’m sorry I’ll be serious In my actual opinion, somebody who is like me should do a drawing every day in their sketchbook. Not so much in October as such, but every day, forever

our official statement: Uhhhh

While I’m in the hospital would be great if peeps checked out my shop ❤️

I’m reading poetry at this event on Tuesday 30th September. Harry Josephine Giles is the headliner so I’m extra excited/nervous. If you can come, it would mean a lot. Unhushed, every last Tuesday of the month, a monthly queer spoken word night. 6:30pm at Stenecki Coffee, Exchange Street, Dundee.

don't let online personalities tell you that panicking is a solution. it isn't, and never will be. read into actual tangible solutions - fascism is not all eternal, it is not omnipresent, it is not omnipotent. it's frail and the more it attacks, the more vulnerable it is. organize, not panic.

Fat bear week??? I got your fat bear right here.

this exact dynamic - where trump says or does something awful, everyone spends days downplaying it, and then he loudly doubles down - has played out roughly 7000 times and it’s why I have exactly zero patience for anyone who tries to sanitize his nonsense

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

For anyone who knows anything about this disease, this is amazing news, and it should make the value of science apparent to everyone. It will bring real hope into lives where there was none. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧪

I find it very funny Hades 2 is launching on bissexual week

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh man, he looks so devastatingly *cool* with that cigarette. YOU - “How did you get so cool, Kim?”

If you're not entitled to a free flu shot, you can get one privately from Asda for 60p(!!) as part of a promotional offer if you book online and can go before September ends. Here's the link: asda.cxmflow.com/OABS/Appoint...
