IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ONE LESSON FROM THIS ERA. THIS IS IT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO SAY, 'BULLSHIT' AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS WHEN YOU SEE IT.

A long overdue thread with Palestinian women, starting with Fatima Hassouna as per her own request. 🧵 A reminder: All eyes on Palestine. All eyes on Gaza. The most important thing right now is keeping a sister and her loved ones alive. Remember to follow, support, and amplify internal voices.

One of the things I offer to estate planning clients is “Preserving Footprints”. Clients can record their stories and memories, pass down recipes, I even had one who wanted to include painting. And then it gets passed to beneficiaries.

the amount of resources that goes just to saving your unread newsletters to the cloud is astronomical. DO THIS NOW. start the new year with a clean slate!

Please help my dear friend Lilith. She is not getting the help and support she urgently needs right now, and it is extremely cruel for her to be left alone when her situation is as difficult and precarious as it is. Please share, and please donate. Even a little helps her keep going!

Thread but also just don't tell Paypal anything. No "what is this for" you both know what it's for. If you send a friend some money for dinner or something and you say "for friday night", even odds they get banned as a sex worker.

This was a battle of optics which Mamdani won resoundingly. If you think this was some kind of victory for "normalising fascism" or whatever, it's worth noting that MAGA influencers are crashing out about this. *They* don't think it's a Trump victory. Don't pretend it is on their behalf.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Genuinely so unhinged that yesterday Trump called for the execution of Democratic lawmakers and today he said that Mamdani can call him a fascist and all anyone is talking about is how funny it is he likes Mamdani Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I would like you to donate to these folks. Sex ed resources thay are queer and kink positive, but age appropriate for folks under 18 are thin on the ground.

hey cis people, go financially support trans folks while we’re alive! @katiedoesthings.bsky.social appliances keep breaking ko-fi.com/lexidoesthings @nightleek.bandcamp.com surgery recovery needs ko-fi.com/arrowonionbe... @floppyguy.bsky.social artist needing support ko-fi.com/thefloppyguy 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️.

About once every two weeks, someone will, either in meatspace or online, demand why I am so particular about language around disability. The answer is I’m not. I do not get aggressive. I do not go out of my way to “correct” people. I state my preferences, general community preferences, and watch—

AI is NOT inevitable. Stop acting like it is.

I’m smart and have gorgeous prose So for SOME stuff the only reason you listen to them not me is race and gender and clout AND because I have sense I also know that works teh other way too That you are listening to me not others for the same reason AND THAT IS WHY I LOVE INFRASTRUCTURES

I keeps thinking how asking this question implies there’s an generally-held expectation that CHILD ASSAULT is less bad than revealing the perpetrators if they’re on “your team”. The moral bankruptcy of expecting it to be a gotcha takes my breath away in exposing how amoral a society we are.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Nobody asked, but: I think the biggest pitfall of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, especially for worldbuilders, in the infodump. You're (rightfully) just so proud of all the work you put into creating a cohesive setting that you just wanna PUKE it all over readers/watchers on page one. (thread)

Folks, Saed is looking for help against the cold if you have some dollars to spare.

You absolutely do not have to hand it to MTG but I am surprised she’s choosing this hill to die on.

the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy

Person: Hey do you do prenups? It’s going to be straightforward and Ima draft it myself. ALL I need is an attorney to review it, be independent legal counsel, and give the attorney signature. Budget: $500 First off, no. 2nd: $500??

You’re allowed to be complicated. You can be sweet and foreboding. You can be effervescent and ominous. You are always welcome to be hot and also cloaked in darkness.

proactive caveats: trauma is not a reliable indicator for why someone might have a kink , everyone responds to trauma differently, always practice enthusiastic consent, people with kinks are not inherently traumatized or some other weird puritanical bullshit etc etc

Yes, everyone who is fighting fascism needs to be united in fighting fascism. But the need to be united to fight fascism is the opposite of being united with people folding to fascism.

You look for cracks everywhere to exploit against fascists. Period. I think some people seem confused about the state of things in this country.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It’s a good episode!

boosting again for my fiancee @katiedoesthings.bsky.social who keeps having expenses pile up right when she’s about to get back on track 💕💸.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

@bsky.app care to comment? This seems bad.

But I am still here, still disabled, still Indigenous, & still trans. I AM STILL HERE! but I need your help to stay here. So if you can do anything —please, I ask you, do whatever you can, even if just reading and replying to this.— I’m grateful for you. Chi Miigwetch 5/6

You forget the part where the "Rebel Alliance" keeps funding said Death Star, reaching across the aisle, and silencing their strongest base because "we can't just defund Stormtroopers, you people ask for too much".

Do you think...Q hides in the delta quadrant because he lives in fear of sisko after he punched him that one time on DS9?

i'm not even angry at the dems bc this is what they do i get pissed at the work y'all put in defending them, denigrating us, just to turn about & be let down but choosing to still go back i am the angry friend watching y'all go back to the abusive relationship yet again

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
