Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

You know who else was bad at art and then stole art and destroyed everyone’s lives. Yeah. He prolly tried to put his name on stuff too. I dunno. One thing is for sure, his name isn’t there now. This too shall pass.

That one on the right reminds me of Londo Mollari

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous. Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively. The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

Oh HELLO

If they: - have a mysterious dark lair - manipulates peoples emotions for a living - monologues grand plans no one asked to hear - routinely justifies "it's all for the greater good" That's not a villain. That's a writer.

#ArtAdventCalendar, Day 19 Red-spotted Admiral in an artsy portrait with moody lighting.

Alia kills Santa and the reindeer and takes their water for the tribe.

Here's an example of how useless and frustrating internet laws to "protect kids" are in practice: When I'm in Ohio, where I am during the holidays, I can't use my Bluesky DMs—unless I hand over my ID to a company owned by Epic Games. Why? To protect kids, of course! spitfirenews.com/p/why-i-have...

I'm so fucking tired, if anyone wants to help out a trans guy today just share my stuff- I make jewelry and paint and stuff, take a look at my shop or commission a pet portrait or smth Placecalledbliss.bigcartel.com

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

Bump?

In Korean, if someone is being foolish you could ask them 니 머리는 장식이냐? It means “Is your head a decoration?”

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

Wrote a little about ways to use color in witchcraft~🎨 theflaminggoat.wordpress.com/2025/12/07/h...

I changed the domain on my Ghost; it's now grimoirebizarre.com I'm writing a series about color magic and I was going to promote it *after* I finished, but then I realized waiting is silly. The next part (4) will be subscribers only.

I had a fortune cookie fortune in my wallet for years that said "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." That advice has never steered me wrong.

This is absolutely amazing

FLAT FUCK IS COMING TO TOWN!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS GATOR LOVERS!!

I just finished this after 6 months!

The fact that no one seemed to notice your suffering is not evidence that you were actually "fine" or that you didn't "deserve" support. Do not let CPTSD convince you if you were "really" suffering or worthy, someone would have helped you. I wish that's how it worked, but.

I have always wanted to take a standup writing class or just go to an open mic and start with "Hi, my name is Karen Ho, a name white people ruined *twice*"

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

look i know it's bad to hope for the bare minimum from anyone in government but just saying if i were the opposition party i'd be responding to every attack on trans people with this or "they want to look at your child's genitals"

Literal observation of the year on Section 230. You can hate it all you want, but the Internet simply won't function without it.

I challenge you to find a sicker burn on the Internet today. @atrupar.com @thehighsign.bsky.social

I just saw a piece of mail by itself and I said “mail loneliness epidemic” and chuckled to myself

Sometimes, you just have to lose your mind for a few years

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230. No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech. We can't let this happen. Share & take action www.badinternetbills.com

If fat shaming worked there'd be no fat people after 4th grade. "Fatshaming is good for fat people actually" is trying to be a shithead with a righteous backbone and it doesn't work. There are no guilt-free passes on being an asshole for no good reason.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

I need emergency preparedness people to grapple w/ the reality of our Rx drug system, where “having extra on hand” is damn near impossible w/ most insurance plans. I have ONE allergy pill left & am only able to pick up my Rx today, due to insurance (can’t reorder early!) and pharmacy supply chain.

Petition to refer to all costs in the US in comparison to how many penises you could buy Especially other medical care

In addition to the obvious, the next thing that comes to mind for me is a song by Tristania called Patriot Games.

THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool. With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections. Here's how you can use it. 1/

Re gender affirming care for youth: They will come for the haircuts and the clothes next. And it won’t stop with kids or trans people. And I’ve been telling people this for a decade and now here we are with lots of cis people shrugging and saying it’s unfortunate. How are you going to save a life?

I am also blocking "this [horrifying attack on a marginalized group I don't belong to] is a distraction from [my pet issue]" on sight. I'm sorry your small mind can only be mad about one thing at a time. I have ADHD multi-tasking and perimenopausal anger, I can rage enough to destroy galaxies.

it’s evil and it’s heinous and i hope dr. oz dies in a tire fire, but goddamn “if you add testicles, that’s extra” is funny

As I posted on the other site back in 2022: the question of "is there actually such a thing as a trans child or a gay child?" is so unimportant compared to the question of "why are we violently disciplining children against certain ways of relating?"

I'm doing a follow-up with my cancer surgeon's office and there's someone listening to sports radio or something on their phone. Very rude.
