Yes. If there's no villain, is it even a soap opera? A good soap villain is essential.

Okay, so you cannot avoid a Thanksgiving event, and it’s not entirely under your control. You’re home from college, you live with your parents, your spouse isn’t ready to process how awful their natal family is. It happens. THERE ARE STRATEGIES YOU CAN EMPLOY TO YOUR BENEFIT.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities. Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers. Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees. Support local independent coffee shops:

I often mention that adding alt text to images helps artists further their reach on here (as there are lots of users who won't repost without alt text) but the same is true for all images. Thinking today of publisher & author images for sales. Taking a few minutes to add alt text can help reach!

Have made tiny progress on my oldest sewing UFO, so I'm celebrating with a third cup of tea.

Ta-Nehisi Coates asks Palestinian scholar and writer Tareq Baconi “what is it about this genocide particularly” that has changed us? "If we're standing at this juncture between moving into a fascist world or moving into a decolonial world, for me that juncture runs through Palestine."

In honor of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social's legacy as a disability activist and writer, today we are republishing Bitch Magazine's Access Series, which was originally curated by Alice Wong. Worker-owner and former Bitch editor-in-chief Evette Dionne updated the intro to the series here:

A creative fabrica subscription is like $10/month and has basically anything you would need - fonts, clip art, even some 3d bag and box patterns. And there are a BUNCH of those services, so I just do not understand the “I must steal AND destroy the planet while I do it” argument at ALL

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted from Dec 5, 1955, to Dec 20, 1956. It ended after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. So, 381 days. One week should be doable. FYI - The page that was on National Park Service site is now gone.

We ain’t buying shit! This Friday ain’t “Black” ‘cuz we got each others’ back.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

“…if you need to talk to your trying-to-be-down auntie about how a land acknowledgement at dinner isn’t enough, please do let her know she can simply text FREESAM to 53-555 and make a tax-deductible donation to actually change the material conditions of Natives.” Also here: givebutter.com/c/9qW07O

An annual reminder: The cognitive & emotional toll of staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant & difficult to recognize. There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing. Thanksgiving doesn't change that.

#RescuetheRing #GH Lila, we are on it!

Can you imagine if they brought on AJ and Keesha's kid and resurrected AJ (I don't care how they explain it, I will accept it)--the drama! But Drew has got to go. #GH

Opinion: Progress in soaps is worth celebrating. So is remembering who paved the way. The Wards were GH’s first Black legacy family. #GH #GeneralHospital #Soapsky #BlackRepresentation

I've supported the UFW all of my life. They're one group that has continued to get meaningful change accomplished in our hellish system. Please think of them this time of year. Your plates would be empty without them. #Theyfeedus

Since I've started here, I've come across many awesome creators and small business owners. With the holiday shopping season here, I figured it was about damn time to finally make a Starter Pack. Fuck Amazon. Fuck WalMart. Fuck Target. Shop small if you can. go.bsky.app/HLRLhda

No one’s happy with it. Every year new versions of old advice about surviving controlling, abusive, and fashy family gets dusted off as people wind their way to something they don’t even want to do. Why do it? Dump the colonialist holiday trappings and do something better with the quiet of the day.

Here’s a video the @carlemuseum.bsky.social and I made about the fadeaway technique I used in “A Big Mooncake for Little Star”! I hope you go see the exhibit before it closes at the end of the year!

My review for Second Chance Romance dropped today: smexybooks.com/2025/11/revi...

Anita looks beautiful, and so does Mona. The costume and makeup departments on #BeyondTheGates doesn't disappoint. Also, I really like the actress who plays June.

You cannot even try to eat food that's been sprayed with a fire extinguisher! What are these writers doing? #BeyondTheGates

A little moment of calm for everyone dealing with holiday stress this week 💛 Watercolor and gouache with a few digital edits (this was a warm up 😁) #kidlitart #illustration #watercolor #gouache #cozyart

You cannot convince me that Mona would spend Thanksgiving with Jan and Ashley. #BeyondTheGates

The Cascade product placement in today's #BeyondTheGates is taking me out laughing.

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

I went FT freelance in 2019 to write my books, but the majority of my income came from freelancing for places like syfy or a writer's room where my name will never show up on the things I made. Then those ended and I had to go back to a day job. Can't survive on what my writing alone makes.

Reminder that I released a book this year, about a girl who finds a secret portal to Seneca Village in Central Park, and has to solve a magical mystery! I think it could be a lovely holiday gift :) You can order wherever you buy books or at my local indie, BAM booksaremagic.net/item/jpo2KjG...

No-one is without something they wish were different about themselves. Be honest, improve what you can, but be kind to yourself, too. Don't become your own bully.
