I was thinking about some stuff from 2011 and... Could you imagine if Occupy Wall Street happened now? In this timeline?

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

😂 @amerrill2.bsky.social being a delight for 4 minutes, even if this Oreos are distinctly not youtu.be/hhmaS75vtbI?...

Death By Lightning (Netflix, 2025)

I think it's important to distinguish between "write for an audience" and "write for 'the market'." "The market" is a fickle, largely mindless construct by corporations based on what made money yesterday. I write for an audience, not the market. For me writing has always been about communication.

Yes, I know I feel much better when I do all of my "take care of myself" tasks, but have you considered: that's a lot of work and I'm very tired?

Full jacket design for ‘Fairies: A History’ – coming early in 2026 www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

2 of 4 eps through "Death By Lightning". Watching Mr Darcy play Charles Guiteau is a wild treat. Nick Offerman as Chester Arthur? Also delightful. I love that man's ability to tap into a character's gruffness one moment and their tenderheart the next. Had some full on laughs with scenes of these 2.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? I absolutely cannot be made to choose between Alanis with "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" or Cake's "Prolonging the Magic".

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be! The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!

I've watched this video about a new Ai scam and I'm so sad and scared. People say artists must put watermarks on sketches while communicating with clients. But I'm used to trust my clients. They are awesome people. I don't want to make it look like I suspect them. I hate it here. I hate Ai.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Pretty sure there's like four episodes of Black Mirror with this... Black Mirror wasn't a challenge, guys!!

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Shh, don't tell everyone! They'll wanna be nocturnal with us! 😅

Oh yeah, no, for sure.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

As we all know, the mark of a really solid joke is the need to explain it in detail.

And remember, you don’t have to “make” anything to participate in #Azirafeast on Nov. 19. Eating cake and lying to your boss is a great way to celebrate! Confuse some customers, watch a nature documentary, get drunk, listen to your favorite music, be kind to someone who is new or lost!

This year is the 6th Annual #Azirafeast, The Feast Day of the Angel Aziraphale, an inclusive fandom event! It’s celebrated on November 19th! It’s a made up holiday that brings the community together, regardless of how a person participates in fandom.

Queen released “Somebody to Love” on November 12, 1976, as the lead single from their fifth studio album, A Day at the Races. Which means next November it'll be 50 years old.

Watching Frankenstein reminded me of the time I had a bad trip on mushrooms with my horrible ex boyfriend and I started weeping because “I was Frankenstein” and he went “don’t you mean the monster” and I took a long shower and realized I hated him.

Rose and the Force belonging to everyone! I was HERE FOR IT

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

31% there! Woohoo!

The photos crossed our radar first and we genuinely thought they were faked but nope! The Pope hates Illinois Nazis! www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

Reading this article was the weirdest relief. I'm not crazy. "AI" is not Urgently Necessary in some way I failed to comprehend. It's a little clique of 7 over-invested billionaires terrified of what will happen when the wrong person peeks behind the curtain. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

I find it so interesting that so many people seem upset that Guillermo Del Toro did not make Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (as in the book she already wrote) but instead made his interpretation of it. I really don't know why you would want him to make that and NOT have him do his take on it, but okay.

no dem running in 2026 without a promise to abolish ICE and a to hold all involved (especially elected officials) accountable is a viable candidate.

Church Street in Burlington Vermont last night.

soon may the wellerman come your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb so much to do, so much to see to bring us sugar and rum and tea we'll take our leave and go you'll never shine if you don't glow

Beneath all the cries of “ban their phones” lies a more sinister truth: They fear what happens when Queer kids find each other, when their connections mean the strength to survive, and their community gives them power to thrive - A mum of two kids with phones

Been saying forever that cishet society merely TOLERATES us but the right has now given every leeway to express exactly how they actually feel because it was and never has been about ignorance. Fascism, at its core, is about control.

Social isolation as a form of psychological abuse to make gaslighting and compliance with the abuser's demands easier

So even as tech oligarchs make social media and information access unreliable and radioactive, conservatives will still rail against the left-wing propaganda saturating The Online because to them, every queer person who exists is a failure. Every queer person who comes out and thrives is a failure.

we shouldn’t have to go to work if it’s snowing…or raining…or too hot… basically we shouldn’t have to go to work.

BREAKING: European Sleeper will start a Paris-Berlin sleeper train from 26 March 2026, after Nightjet pulls out in December. It'll run via Brussels (with Eurostar connection from London) 3 times a week. This + existing train = Brussels-Berlin 6 times a week. www.europeansleeper.eu/paris

The importance & power of self-advocacy; my local indie bookstore (Ballast Book Co) is doing an author event with @seananmcguire.bsky.social, & I emailed them to ask if they'll have an ASL interpreter & they quickly responded to say that they'll "... look into hiring one for the event..." #Deaf #ASL

This is my Chinese cave gecko. It caves less than the Democrats.

Folks are getting carried away with calling stuff "ageism". Thinking any 45 year old is unqualified to enter a new industry: ageism. Thinking any 25 year old is incapable of leadership: ageism. Thinking an 80yo is likely to have an unforeseen adverse health event at any time: statistics

Housemate: Did you see the David Boreanaz tonight? Me: No, too much cloud cover for the Ariana Grande.

I'm looking for people for a Thing, so feel free to repost. Please hit like if you are that rare gamer like me who actually enjoys listening all the way to the end of voiced game dialogue and seeking out new bits of in-game lore to read like codex entries, in-game books, etc.

My buddy's raising $100 to help out his cousin who just welcomed home a new baby. (Can confirm, I saw pics from the cousin who's a mutual friend.) To help out during this time where WIC and SNAP have stopped and made this joyful time a little harder. $11 raised so far. Thanks! gofund.me/c2f353bcf

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

This is what’s called pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. Primary and replace them all.

if there was a national day of cancelling your party membership over healthcare just to put the fear of god into them with some hard numbers, that’s where I think I’m at now it’s been coming on for awhile now, I simply don’t feel represented by this party even on the things they claim as priorities
