My favourite food group is carbs, followed by peanut butter--though defying social norms is a close third.

We are ALMOST at the goal. Can we hit the goal and then some? That would be amazing

A girl becomes a moving building! Read it in less than a minute!

Honoured and excited!

It just seems unfair that during the summer, my freezer doesn't magically get filled with popsicles.

Never keep your dick in the shed.

That time on a Friday I got overwhelmed by life... ...and decided to fix it by going outside to take take pictures of flowers. I can't be the only human who finds the ability to contain multitudes to feel so hard sometimes, right??

Today is a good day to celebrate and support Black creators! If you are a Black creator, especially in the nerd space, please consider posting what you do below and also how we can buy it or support it, if possible!

Actively try to make something better? Cringe.

Really illuminating and worth signalboosting, IMO. Please spread if you're tired of Trump using his office to shove money in his and his family's pockets. #dumptrump www.readtangle.com/the-everythi...

i had the idea for this piece last tdov but it didn't quite come together until now 🥖🍷 quote by Julian K Jarboe

It's midnight here. I'm tired. I hope everyone had a good day of trans visibility.

Goals for the week: My motivation/energy is down, so I'm giving myself room to adjust. 1. Send my rejected-but-held poem to a couple other markets 2. Revise the poem I wrote based on a nightmare #queerwriters #writingcommunity

Good to see people remembering what the pipes are *for*.

Today is brought to you by existential screaming

I had to make a second Starter Pack! If you have any recs for Latinx Spec Fic authors, let me know and I'll try to add them when I can. Much love! go.bsky.app/UtDuh4e

"Indeed, even in democracies, choice can sometimes seem to be not only an illusion (is there any real difference between the scores of toothpastes or breakfast cereals in contemporary supermarkets?) or a headache to contend with, but a regressive force."

Happy Black History Month 2026! It's Black History Month, and we're celebrating as we do with books by Black authors (almost entirely) starring Black characters! For even more titles, check out past years' posts. Picture Books Dancing with Water by Gwendolyn Wallace and Tonya Engel An…

AND getting access to the Otherside discord is magical and life-sustaining 🙌🏻

Paging Cyberpunks old and new:

Sh*tty poem of the week: My gorgon brings all the boys to yard Damn right, it's better than yours And that's why I have so many fine warrior sculptures for sale

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Won't shut up about battle scars when chatting with chicks

Take your joy where you can get it. Doesn't mean you stop fighting or that the world is all better now, but you have to let some light and warmth in if you want to keep going.

Whenever I see répétitions w/ minute changes in my writing, I think, I see you Philip Glass!

I'm so excited to check this out!!

I need everyone to understand that this could not happen anywhere else exclusively because the people of minnesota started showing up for george floyd and then never stopped this isn't a "sudden event", this is the culmination of nearly seven fucking years of steady leadership and participation

What happened when somber met "that side" of my family for the first time

My favourite take

I'd love to build out my list of BIPOC illustrators interested in book covers or page illustrations!! If anyone is interested (or if you want to rec an artist), please introduce yourself, ideally with some art samples and/or portfolio link!✨ *Absolutely no AI allowed, and please tag any NSFW art!

oh no Canada won't be represented on the board of peace whatsoever will we do

Ugh, disgusting. Not just tricking people but also trying to disrupt community trust

Well damn

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

Using the FBI. When they were simply protesting at a house of worship because a freaking Pastor there was an ICE Member. We know what Bondi is doing is illegal. But it is also a litmus test. One I’m afraid we’re bound to fail if we don’t DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS??? They are now jailing dissenters.

Nekima Valdez Levy Armstrong is an American lawyer and social justice activist. President of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP from 2015 to 2016. They’re arresting well known lawyers and social activists now.

I'm not saying to dunk on this person AT ALL but because I want this point elevated. I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.

Super refreshing to read!

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

"There is protection from near everything. From fire and damages by storm and frost. Add whichever blows may come to mind. But there is no protection from mankind." Aniara 26 Harry Martinson

This is the missing piece I've been looking for! #Grief and #transformation

“ #Grief, I’ve learned, doesn’t only belong to death. It belongs to #transformation too. The involuntary kind, the kind that remakes you without your permission.”: buff.ly/eeOf3Vt by @leighlouharper #ChronicallyIll #NEisvoid #disability #loss #SelfAwareness

William Vermie Is a combat veteran who was awarded a purple heart. He was grabbed by ICE When taken to the Whipple Building he asked for an attorney, and was repeatedly denied. If a US citizen and purple heart recipient can’t access to an attorney… imagine how they’re treating immigrants

I wish I had the energy to read this right now,
