Got to meet my long distance gf in person for the first time. It's going great!

The entire US economy is propped up by a product so toxic and insidious that everyone has to go on a weekly scavenger hunt just to remove it from products they're already using.

So that you can enjoy it in its full beauty, here's the PAXU Realis postcard image in high quality, along with the in-game text & Sentences of Halfmoon Twaintcut's that Si was working from!

HOAs are proof that left to their own devices, suburban white people will reinvent facism.

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

FYI bluesky just issued a 3 day suspension to Wendy Xu for probably nothing

Previously: His wife visited him ICE in detention on his 50th birthday. She couldn’t even bring him the card she’d made. They could only speak through a phone, divided by a thick pane of glass. It was one of few times she’d ever seen him cry.

Please help and share

A poem in honor of this past week. Might take it down later, who can say.

Perhaps if you live in NYC, you will be moved to take action in support of increased and STABLE funding for our public libraries after reading this: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Debating if I want to share a poem or not

Been reading The Beauty's Blade, and goddamn do we not often get protagonists like this. Fu Wanqing is violent, arrogant, selfish, spoiled, and Better Than You. She's someone who'll kiss an orange slice out of the mouth of the woman she loves. Only to then say how she wants to kill her.

Please share & give to help Mahmoud's family, including his sister's orphaned children, survive Israel's continuing genocidal siege, which has left Palestinians homeless & starving in winter rain:

I think one of the hardest things about being a career writer in traditional publishing is that writing attracts the neurodivergent brain while the variable reinforcement schedule punishes it. We are all the rat at the water bottle, waiting for the hit of cocaine. You get one win, and you need MORE.

They're trying to arrest "around 5,000 people in the two states" to feed their money machine. Agents will arrive in New Orleans on Friday and spread out across neighborhoods & commercial hubs from N.O. thru Jefferson, St. Bernard and St. Tammany parishes, and north to Baton Rouge. It's sickening.

To be honest given the climate in the US and my increasing conviction that I am not going to be one of the ones who makes it through this is my feeling as well. Then again the only people on my timeline talking about TDOR are trans so yknow.

You will internalize all the mean stuff you say about yourself, even if you say it in jest. Good news: you can also pretend you're great and treat yourself with compassion and internalize that instead. Ask me how I know! People respond well to it too, they wanna root for you!!

Absolutely egregious from the people who bought the three oldest magazines in SFF and are attempting to convert them into a giant funnel of monetizable IP

do you know renpy? do you live in ontario? do you wanna help me with my game. pleas

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Aya. Before the war Aya was an Arabic language teacher at a kindergarten. She was forced to flee her home and this week in addition to the floods her tent also burned. She has four children Omar, 10, Mohammed, 8, Wasim, 5 and Yasmine, 3 months

booo boo BOOOOOO

If you can pitch in and help me I’d appreciate it, I drive myself and my partner to work and this happened in between pay periods for me

💯💯💯 It is EXTREMELY way past time for people to stop saying "the economy" when they mean "the stock market." The stock market is fully divorced from reality. It does not represent anything meaningful about the actual standards of living.

PSA for any Apub authors whose books are in the Anthropic settlement list: Amazon is not participating in the settlement, since they have an investment in Anthropic. When you submit your claim form, you DO NOT have to list Amazon as an add'l rightsholder, & can claim 100% of settlement money.

Might start putting my poems into a doc that isnt my phone/discord writer's group...but don't call it a collection!

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

Hey yall…. Get your people off the streets!!!!! It’s slippery on the streets!

I’ve only just now seen this, and she still hasn’t reached her goal. What she’s going through is awful. Please help if you can.

every author in the class action, please file the claim.

With Ana being targetted by paypros right now, supporting her on subscribestar is one decent option to help her during this time!

None of these agents should be employable after this...but unfortunately we live in a world where we don't even pretend to punish Nazis anymore...

This puts it in such painful clarity—the message was about the MASS harm of sexual violence against women. That the harm of sexual violence to the person that experiences it is enough reason to oppose it *wasn’t even on the table yet.* And that was still “too far.”

I wish men truly understood how often their peers only pretend to cultivate women's talents because they want to fuck us. I am a short Canadian nobody and it happened to me when I was starting out my screenwriting career no less than four times before I turned 26

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Anyway whenever they try saying “it happened so long ago” remember that some of them were alive for this and ask them how they felt about it when it happened

A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy. www.wsaw.com/2025/11/12/g...

These emails really do highlight why rich folk are so impressed by ChatGPT.

Remember when the people who started two world wars and developed/used nuclear weaponry spent the 80s musing if Black/brown people were just naturally, genetically violent

Never been more important to buy from craftspeople, painters, potters, illustrators, makers, carpenters, bakers and the like. Seek them out, follow them, support them and buy their goods. Use them or lose them etc etc

Bamboozle is such a great word. So apt here. The NYT is much like a gangrenous shuffling monster that also continues to sport the occasional pleasant face or a perfectly tailored suit. Mostly, it's decomposing into rancid liquified goo.

Please help out! The cold is hitting Gaza now, so proper shelter is essential!

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

This is America today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

WE CAN STILL WIN! yellat.money

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

A ttrpg setting made entirely out of dwarf fortress patch notes

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
