Hey so bad news, there's a phishing email going around pretending to pay for free Thanksgiving dinners at Costco. Please tell your leas internet savvy friends this is a horrible, heartless scam and they SHOULD NOT CLICK ANYTHING

Love to try to buy an undergarment to sleep in that won't press into my skin and be so overwhelmed with how horrible bra shopping has always been as a trans person who only desires comfort and compression

I said I wasn't going to promote this anymore, but apparently it's Amazon Black Friday, and half my wish list is in deep discount. And I am one broke person.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

I don't have to believe in things I know are real, like oxygen, gravity, women's pain, and ghosts.

Evil organizations used to be named things like The Loyal and Worshipful Company of Gentlemen. But now they are named Slurly.

If I had a time machine and could only do a "historically insignificant" act of wrong-fixing, something that probably has no foreseeable major consequences on our timeline I would push Vyacheslov Ivanov out a window before 1912, or infiltrate his bacchic rites to rip him limb from limb.

When I was a teenager and wanted everyone to know I'm gay it was TE Lawrence's 7 Pillars Of Wisdom and Akhmatova's complete works translated by Judith Hemschemeyer. Sometimes I'd put out the complete letters of Jefferson and Adams (which I did, in fact, read) or Les Miserables for variety.

This book on Sofia Parnok has made me realize I have to read something on Russian mysticism of the late 19th century (beyond basic Theosophy and Khlysty stuff in the background) and probably about Eastern Orthodoxy as well. Uh. Got any nonfiction book recs?

I just got off the phone with the movers. The final cost for this 200 mile move is $3700. I have $3000 from Vampire Boyfriend. I need to raise $900 more, for the movers and my own gas and food on moving day. Please help me escape my abusive family.

One of the truly great things Dr Tingle's work has brought to our timeline is that I see a LOT more queer surrealist erotica taken seriously in spec, I see more sincerity and risk taking, I can't think of anything that more proves love is real than inspiring others to make and enjoy art.

Wow. Heads up if you've submitted/are considering submitting to F&SF, Asimov's, or Analog.

Reasons you should pay audiobook narrators and not outsource this to text to speech programs: "Marina Tis-vet-eva" is not a lesbian poet of some fame. What did Marina Ivanovna do to deserve this 😭
