“The doctor flashes a light on my freckles and moles, quickly moving from one to the next. Her speed tells me I’m fine, that this was an unnecessary crossing of my boundaries.” @chelseastickle.bsky.social | @yourimpossiblevoice.com yourimpossiblevoice.com/were-all-ban...

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

This is a monopoly friends….very bad.

Job placements should be centralized. They ask one question: "what will you do voluntarily for hours with no supervision?" and match you with someone who needs that done.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

Thrilled to have a flash in @yourimpossiblevoice.com about sisterly bonds and the things that go wrong when you're living your life. Thanks to Editor @keithjpowell.com!

Tuesday #FlashFiction: "We’re All Bananas" by @chelseastickle.bsky.social! “After my mother’s skin cancer diagnosis, I was bullied by my older sister Sally into scheduling a ‘skin test,’ which is what they call it when you strip in a cold room and show a stranger every part of your body.”

This is the vibe I wish to bring to the function.

Reading Olga Tokarczuk’s DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD. “Crime has come to be regarded as a normal, everyday activity. Everyone commits it. That’s just how the world would look if concentration camps became the norm. Nobody would see anything wrong with them.”

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

If Disney adults can cancel their trips, we can all unsubscribe from Disney+, Hulu, ESPN.

It also includes ESPN

I genuinely think Disney is so omnipresent that people can’t keep track of all the properties they own anymore and this is just a lack of knowledge issue.

idk if disney/sinclair/nexstar understand how bad they fucked up by angering the disney influencers. i don’t fear god or kpop stans but i do fear disney adults.

We don’t follow genre, we follow obsession. If it lingers in the mind, it belongs at Maudlin House...

I canceled my Hulu account ages ago but I have also just requested them to delete all of my data. It was a multi-step pain-in-the-rear process, which indicates that they really don't want you to do it. It would be a shame if you did. help.hulu.com/article/hulu...

I can’t imagine the stresses on these students escaping from hell, but leaving their loved ones behind. Other EU countries should be doing similar projects to help Gazans study abroad. Their entire university system has been destroyed by Israel in Gaza.

Ask the normie non political people in your life what percentage of the country they think is transgender and it'll blow your mind. Whenever I tell someone trans folks make up less than 1% of the country, they look at me like I'm a conspiracy theorist.

Ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner calls out Disney for suspending #JimmyKimmelLive “Where has all the leadership gone?  … who will step up for the first amendment?”

Lol

I support the right of readers to give books they don't like low ratings but I honestly don't understand the "this is the fifth book I've read by [author] and I haven't liked any of them," sort of review, my sibling in Christ, stop reading that author, they're just not for you and will never be

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Tell three writers how much their work means to you.

I have a new story in awesome Milk Candy Review! Grateful tahnks to Cathy Ulrich for publishing this one, and also to my @smokelong.bsky.social Fitness mates for reading a first draft. milkcandyreview.home.blog/2025/09/18/s...

IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP TO GO TO PROTESTS (instead of just going) YOU TOTALLY CAN BUT KNOW THE RISKS FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

Poets! If you had some poems, where would you send them?

I cannot stress enough how much media consolidation under billionaires is not only part of the discussion about censorship, it is THE discussion. Oligarchs don’t care about ideology, they care about money, and if a leader offers them unlimited wealth, they’ll sell their own mother out to get it

If you haven't already, now is SUPER the time you to consider what supplies and community infrastructure you have to be able to distribute information offline. If the first amendment does not exist for the rich and/or the legacy media, it doesn't exist for us.

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once. I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

if you've never made a zine before, here's a video from @austinkleon.bsky.social that walks you through the very easy process—all you need is a piece of paper, a writing utensil, and something to say! (3/3) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab4O...

who's gonna start the dumb appliances and small electronics company and make a killing? i do not want screens, bluetooth, internet, wifi, NOTHING.

Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest:

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

#TuesdayBlue This might be the last in the DC quilt series thst I have. This one is the Eisenhower Executive Office Building by Nancy B. Adams from Annandale, Virginia. I looked for some images of the building to see where she found her inspiration. I'll attach a photo.

An administration so incompetent and venal, we have to praise insurance companies for acting more in our best interests.

Normally having to write a synopsis of my work makes me feel like shit, but this time? This time I got it. I've been thinking too intentionally while revising to miss what it is I'm trying to do.

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

man, even when writing sucks it's still the absolute best
