Should add really that if you're a smol newsletter bean who would dearly love to NOT be on Substack, then I will happily roll (and manage) a Ghost install for you for cost + a small maintenance fee. I'll talk you through setting up your own mailgun and stripe. Do that and you keep ALL your revenue.

Cate is doing really badly, and all I can do about it is post here and ask you for help Sending her money would really help; little donations can add up if you also share her posts 💖

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

If youre a cis person who feels the need to disagree with me, but dont follow me, have never interacted before, and don't boost my mutual aid, Maybe donate first, or fuck off instead? I do not need the hassle of trying to figure out your intent.

10 random things I like: - coffee - apple slices with nutella - meeting random dogs on the sidewalk - cats that come running up when you walk into a room - getting treats for friends - seeing good things happen for good people - dark ale - puns - music (duh) - talking too much

(in the middle of a campaign speech) "For every person whose benefits are cut off, I will eat one sitting politician or insurance company CEO" (crowd goes wild, police move in) "and one police captain for every complaint of excessive force"

I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk. These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production. They were originally commissioned for 1/

you know, i’ve never really been into classical music but i’m open to the idea

Old enough to remember when everybody on Sesame Street thought Snuffy was Big Bird's "imaginary friend," with a recurring gag where Bird would set up a meeting, but for a variety of reasons everybody would *just* miss Snuffy and then gaslight the shit outta Big Bird

Hey, is there a Nightshade type thing for audio & video? Something that renders your music & videos poisonous to the learning pool for ai without fucking up the quality for humans?

@probsnotaliens.bsky.social is a net good for society and if you don't know that yet it's worth checking out

This is great, but the crows will trace it back to you, and then bing bang boom, you've created a generational grudge against yourself Use at your own risk

I needed this, so reposting for anyone else who does too

Fascism can't win without outlets like the NYT and WaPo continuously doing this. Please stop sending money to these outlets. The bland, white-friendly recipes and word puzzles aren't worth it. Fund @theflytrapmedia.com, or @unraveledpress.com, or any number of local independent journalists.

I'd like to be optimistic and say some high-profile people are about to face accountability for willfully creating an economic black hole They won't, but it's comforting to believe it for a while

People in the UK aren't getting transphobia from weird niche online communities. They're getting it from the prime minister, the BBC, politicians and the newspapers in every newsagents in the country.

Everyone… I just need to rent a place to replace our tent. My family has fallen very sick because of it, Don’t forget us even with the ceasefire it’s an illusion to divert attention from us. Our suffering has worsened, the situation is extremely dire and I’ve lost everything except my trust in you.

years of deprivation… today I finally brought eggs for my kids. Something so simple, yet it feels like a dream. 6 eggs for $10 — and we are still grateful for every bit of support. ❤️🥚 gofund.me/7c3d38b5
