My scouts are working on adoption videos for animals at the Burbank Animal Shelter. My daughter made this one highlighting three pups. (Including a bonded pair) PLEASE SHARE

my SFF pals: which SFF-relevant or adjacent newsletters do you read and love? (and a second, much vaguer question: what do you wish was out there that isn't?)

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

It's new puppy day! Gonna pick him up after work. Of course, I'm leaving the office early. Everyone, meet Alfred.

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.

A supernova from a foot away is less obvious than the corruption in SCOTUS

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

So I’m experiencing rather serious financial difficulties from medical bills and…capitalism and I would love to not have to declare bankruptcy or do a gofundme which seem like the only way out right now but maybe if everyone bought some shirts or signed up for Patreon? Signal boosts appreciated🖤🦷

Sadly, this might become evergreen.

I watch this video of Lin Manuel Miranda at the Obama White House (when they had poetry, not cage fighting ::sigh::) on hard days so I can enjoy everyone’s rising excitement and delight as they all see the very fresh damp beginning of something great. youtu.be/WNFf7nMIGnE?...

It is HARD to tell our dorky little stories under fascism. But I'm sending out big hearts to everyone who's trying and huge high fives to anyone who gets anything done in that regard. Take part in actual political action to fight fascism. But keep telling your dorky stories. They matter, too.

So this is just to remind you that anything you get done under this evil regime is a miracle. That anything you do to push back against this regime is heroic. And that anything you do to preserve your safety and security and the safety and security of your loved ones and community is also heroic.

I mean, okay, I am not personally close to a deal with Iran, but I also didn't start a senseless war with them, so.

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

Look. You can either respect creative workers, or you can use genAI. You absolutely cannot do both. And it's really pretty insulting to claim you respect us while you're supporting the billionaires who stole from us and are trying to destroy our industries.

Well, dang. This hits hard.

This is Gracie. She has diabetes, pancreatitis, and glaucoma, all of which require costly care. Because of this, she had zero adoption interest. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her $9,900 ongoing care. We’re thrilled to report that she has since been adopted ❤️‍🩹

Hi everyone, I'm looking for resources about how to support an autistic person with pica I have found plenty of explanations about why it happens, and a lot of behavioural/ABA type solutions, which isn't ideal Any suggestions or pointers to autistic informed and neuro-affirming information? Thanks

Ethan absolutely nailed this one, holy cow

Hey pals! I just ordered a book via Bookshop.org, which is not only *not* Amazon, it actually supports whatever local indie book store you choose - and oh hey! What's this I have here? Why, it's a refer-a-friend code so you can save 20% on your own order! Yay books! 🎉 refer.bookshop.org/wzh2gw22

I've been in a fetal-position-under-the-desk mood for most of May, a mood I neither begrudge myself nor imagine to be unique. It hasn't been fun, & it's been hard to to activist stuff, but 🤷‍♀️ Are you in such a mood? Here are V EASY ways to stick it to the man from under your desk: 1. Amazon/Audible

If I had infinite spoons, I'd make a spreadsheet of all my social media posts, then craft and implement an effective repost/share strategy. As always, idea and execution are light-years apart.

Cool!

It might be hard to see from this picture today of the White House, but Donald Trump is very focused on lowering costs.

What?! I want to live in these socks now.

You can absolutely burn out from chronic pain and illness, on top of all the other stress. This is a good description of what autistic burnout can feel like — with the caveat that for some of us, burnout can last literal decades, becoming chronic itself. #autism #burnout medium.com/unheard-voic...

Tonight's Moon. (Not through a Zeiss this time, but still pretty good.)

Here's the thing: I'm disabled by chronic illness and pain. Daily headaches/migraines absolutely mess with stamina, focus, and cognitive function. I'm also autistic with ADHD. I plan and write all of my books, articles, and essays myself. I do the work. Gen-AI isn't writing.

This is what a (partial) solar eclipse looks like from space. Look closely and you can see the mountains along the Moon's edge.
