In Seattle, organizers are warning of a growing crisis as more and more trans refugees seek to escape red states. Mutual aid networks of "broke trans people helping broke trans people" are being overwhelmed, and one organizer @evanurquhart.bsky.social spoke with is facing eviction herself.

It's the weekend, baby

I'm choosing the bonus episode "A myriad of numbers" for that big ↁ (5,000) energy

I enjoyed True Color by @korystamper.bsky.social so much I went back and also listened to Word by Word, which I had missed before. Required reading for (amateur) word nerds. The audiobook reading is always a treat when the author nails the delivery of their own jokes.

I recently watch Andor -> R1 -> ANH, and noted the direct line of this critical info from Lonni via Luthen, Kleya, Andor, Leia, to Artoo. And the utter *lack of urgency* once Luke is involved!

Randomly reading a book series I found in some old boxes. I don't remember if I've read them before. Trying to do this knowing as little as possible in advance. All I really remember is these are 70s-80s SFF, 6 books, by a male author.

If anyone lost their phone on 28th Ave in Ballard, I dropped it off at the Ballard Community Center. It was in the street, so I wondered if it fell off a bike.

TIL about TACO which is frankly a horrifying thing for people to believe

Bake us a cake, you're the

The curiosity was killing me. The guy said he found the ad on Instagram and that, as of today, the post is still up. So I spent an hour or so on a spreadsheet of every single bar, pub, or club I could find in Salt Lake City, almost 100. None of them posted it docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I wouldn't spend any amount of time on this at all if it was Just a fake story. Fake stories go viral all the time (UberEats, Jamaican Masterpiece), whatev. But this one was also leading people to specific conclusions about what women in fandom are like, based on something that didn't happen

This was my first thought: We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba

Is it too soon for someone to write the feminist retelling of the life of Glory Altamira (from Cryptonomicon)?

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, cried “But soon, I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt. Soon these burning miseries will be extinct. I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly, and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. Farewell.”

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

Hey @fridaytea.com just wanted to give a shout out to the folks working there this past Saturday afternoon. They were patient and helpful with choosing gifts and drinks for the trip home. 💜

Belatedly logging completion of The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R King for the Intergenerational Friendship square. That gave me 19 books covering 21 squares with one lonely bingo, which I'm pretty sure is mathematically a record. #BookBingoNW2025 📚💙

Last audiobook for #BookBingoNW2025 is Who's Afraid of Gender by Judith Butler for the "Recommended by a library worker" square (via a @spl.org 's best of 2024 list)
