Hey y'all ACA subsidies are NOT saved, the Senate still needs to vote on the latest version of the bill; just want to note that the House vote happened at 5:13p and the Senate adjourned at 4:29p. The Senate vote I see some people referencing regards a prior bill. Please do call your senator!

I am working on something immensely scary career-wise right now and I am full from head to toe with anxiety bees and also the world is crumbling around me so if I could just have one win that would be swell ok thanks

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

If you don’t understand Asexuality, that’s absolutely fine. It probably just means you’re not Asexual… Just like I can’t understand what it’s like to feel sexual attraction, because I don’t feel it. Doesn’t stop me accepting it exists

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I got exactly what I wanted for my birthday which was a [redacted] costume for [redacted] in the Clair Obscur DLC 🥲🥖

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

When I called, the nice man signed off with "don't give up." You can call, too!

It’s my birthday (34) today and I am doing a lot of thinking about how I want to approach this next year around the sun. A lot of what’s to come is a total unknown, but I am going to try to meet it with hope instead of fear, and try not to let whatever horrors await kill my zest for clownery ✌️

Massive massive result that really is needed in these times.

what the FUCK

this is NOT the fic i want to write but hear me out it's a bakery AU and we'll call it PREHEATED RIVALRY

I do not have TIME to write fic right now but I woke up plagued by visions oh no

1. I have seen Heated Rivalry and y’all were right. I loved it so much. I’ve watched it four times now help 2. While I have you here (on the HBO app) consider watching Our Flag Means Death for more excellent gay pining. I know they have very different DNA as shows, but the gay pining is 👌

Princess Mononoke is absolutely imprinted into my DNA. I watched it for the first time in middle school and it changed me. The way it layers, and does not necessarily align, the environmental, feminism, and disability themes will stick with me forever.

I'm boosting myself to say this: You're going to see people On Here tell you calling electeds doesn't matter. That's not true. Some are bots. Some are people who like being contrary to be edgy. But calling moves the needle, especially against a blatantly illegal act by Trump and Co. ACT.

making art right now isn’t pointless making art right now isn’t pointless making art right now isn’t pointless making art right now isn’t pointless

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

The mayor of New York City is doing more than the senate and house minority leaders

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I just think it's neat that bad leaders who must be stopped at all costs only live in countries with big oil reserves

Happy new year from the runner up for most unhinged presentation at the PowerPoint party ✌️

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

As an ace/aro player, I've been mulling compulsory sexuality in choice-driven games. It's not always intentional, and it's not even always bad art. But it's jarred me out of some great games. I'd like to write an essay about this sometime. Is there a good magazine venue for this sort of thing?

Heads up, the annual year-end free trial period for Publishers Marketplace is live. Great way to do research for those of you gearing up to query in the New Year. lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2025/12/a-pm...

Are you an author in search of a New Years Resolution? Are you an author in search of a New Years Resolution that specifically has nothing to do with finishing your draft? Here's one: Resolve to join Authors Against Book Bans & help protect the right to read.

Counted up all the books in my house that I own but haven’t read yet and 🤡

Four games that defined my 2025

Did my little author wrapped thing over on the other site and wanted to share some of the highlights over here, specifically my list of favorite books I read this year. I'd love it if you'd pick one of these up and read it! I loved all of these a lot and I think more people should read all of them.

Hey y'all! Ending the year in style, I and a Metric Crapton of other amazing authors are putting our books on sale AND raising money for disabled kids at the Mary Cariola Center! Behold the wonder of SO MANY CHEAP BOOKS for a good cause! 💜💚🧡 megasale.yrliu.com

It did not "go viral". It was intentionally filmed and disseminated using a network of coordinated bots, amplified by an algorithm designed to spread this kind of content quickly. This was a harassment campaign, intended to silence everyone. Call it what it is.

I got everybody books for christmas this year. I fully expected them to be the forgotten gifts in favor of new shiny toys, but my 7 year old niece has been engrossed in the books I got her since she opened them and is still going strong reading this morning. I love how literate all my in-laws are

🎶 I don’t want a lot for Christmas I just want one thing from you. For that A.I. bubble to burst, And all the tech bros get sued. 🎶 🎄

We're watching a Shrek marathon on TV and when kaiju gingerbread man rips a starbucks out of the ground and throws it at the starbucks across the street... that's absolute cinema

Have I watched the entire M9 campaign multiple times? Yes. Do I still feel personally victimized by the animated show ending THERE? Also yes

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Disconcerting to hear "We don't need purity tests" from the party that is going to have to fix the FDA.

So pleased to see BEING ARO on this list!! 💚

My partner got me a custom stamped pop art print of my cat and 7 tiny cowboy hats for Hanukkah this year and honestly I think she nailed it. Exhibit A:

АНННН just me on a Best of 2025 list alongside Suzanne Collins & CG Drews & Chloe Gong & more 🥲🛸💗

My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
