I went in expecting delicious drama and mess. I found hard self insights and truths waiting for me. What is everyone missing about the Lindy West story? Dr Devon Price and I can tell you. open.substack.com/pub/scifimag...

Pretty happy with these cookies and pizza tonight. This cookie recipe is The One. I love her. Notes: 1 tbsp baking powder instead of baking soda A whisper of cinnamon is magnificent www.noracooks.com/vegan-chocol...

If it helps at all, I know for a fact I will be running queervc Wednesday night. We are trying very hard to build a community here where everybody feels seen. That our shoppers are the ones who put this together warms my cold dead heart.

@maryharris.bsky.social Heyyy Mary, I just wanted to compliment your work over the years on hosting What Next. One of my fave podcasts and extremely comforting in these dire times. I do have some feedback about a recent ep though...

Nah, the Redwall feasts were an iconic part of my childhood, and I never finished Ice and Fire. Also Mariel was a formative heroine for me! I've definitely seen at least one cookbook, but in the name of canon and fairness they gotta come out with a pescatarian one

Yeee, I'd be more invested in the existential threat to the world of ASOIAF if it contained the occasional element that was more positive 'fleeting, complicated, and morally fraught pleasure'

Brian Jacques is a better writer than George RR Martin and you can't convince me otherwise

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.

Comparing people’s living conditions in 1901 to now is already silly & serves no meaningful purpose so let’s talk about numbers that matter to Alive People In 2016 Elon Musk’s wealth was 11 billion dollars. Today it is 800 billion dollars. Federal minimum wage in 2009 was 7.25. Today it is 7.25.

So my friend's buddy is really struggling, and in danger of homelessness. If you can spare even a dollar or two - or if you can't, please share! - it all helps. gofund.me/313de841d?sf...

A mod in /r/Canadaland says Jesse is planning to publish personal info that could compromise the safety of his family. “Other, legitimate journalists have managed to uncover this [information] before and have declined to publish it because of the safety risks.” Source: www.reddit.com/r/canadaland...

Now we on late fees. Any little bit helps me catch up on my final debt!

Hey so maybe you miss Remus and Lupin from Harry Potter. What if I told you a better, canon Wolfstar vibes ship exists? And the series says trans rights? And punch Nazis? Get it, read beautiful and funny, brilliant prose, heal your soul. nightbeatseu.ca/works/the-sl...

A SURPRISE PACK FROM @rachelashrosen came! Don't sleep on the Sleep of Reason, especially since it's award season! Check out book 2, Blight, at bookstores and libraries near you! #writing #canadian #postaapoc #darkfantasy #indie www.instagram.com/reel/DVCrO08...

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now. the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.

my white ladies, it’s time to go read about the history of fire, fire investigation, arson and fire safety if we’re doing this. Because 3 minutes to get Baby’s First Accelerant Fire going is just gonna get a felony charge. Glad she’s still unknown.

Timeline cleanse

Agreed.

IT'S ON! On the same day that teachers are rallying in record numbers on the steps of the legislature... Demetrios Nicolaides is officially the target of an approved recall petition! 16,006 signatures needed starting now! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Said it before, will say it again: can't recommend this (and it's predecessor) enough. Especially in the current world. Also, go get the Jetstream/Afro Puffs books, too. Unless you hate having fun.

Additionally: admitting you were wrong is not moral failing.

They are, sadly, huge scabs

Twitch thinking about implementing AI clipping tool, this means yalls voice is gonna be scraped. You better vote against it. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92471... #twitch

Been out a month. No records broken, no medias blitzed. But based on what I'm hearing... it's doing what it needed to do. Witches rock.

So i wrote a thing about feminism, the public eye, and the internet at large open.substack.com/pub/scifimag...

So, how's the neovag working out? Well, mostly good. Except for the internal scarring that has become my own worst nightmare. Lemme talk all flowery about it here: gofund.me/74494d4f Long story short? Procedure on 11/4 to fix the scarring.

Last boost for tonight

Honey, wake up, new potential Alberta referendum on ending private school funding just dropped.

Derpy dragon tshirts are up for preorder on my Etsy! www.etsy.com/listing/4344...

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Mabon blessings to those who celebrate

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social I'm running for a school board position in Lethbridge for the first time too!!!

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

This looks good as hell and you should check it out, it's like if Far Cry: Blood Dragon were gay (laudatory)

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

you are actually allowed to judge people by the content of their character!

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato

@realgdt.bsky.social I think Guillotine by Delilah Dawson or The Drowning House by Cherie Priest would be very good as movies in your style

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
