Philly, I got this lil guy out of the pouring rain last night! If you're interested in adopting a very very friendly sweet kitten lmk!

Harry Connolly (@byharryconnolly.bsky.social) is one of my fave authors. He needs $ help. harryjconnolly.com/17553-2/ For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way. His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity. Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I keep having dreams about submitting my novel. I feel like my brain isn't going to leave me alone until I actually do it.

I feel like pumpkin pie is the least offensive and/or traumatic thing americans have ever posted about en masse, tbh

Mutual Aid Request: my medicaid is STILL refusing to cover a vital antipsychotic. I'm changing insurance at the start of the year but I have two more fills before then. With GoodRX the total comes to about $35 Cashapp and paypal are best but stripe works $robinvbelle ko-fi.com/shrikepublis...

Pecan pie on its own is kind of sickly sweet. The key is to throw some semisweet chocolate in there. And bourbon, if you're into that.

As a former indie bookseller, sometimes one single special order would make me order four copies into stock so I could put it faced out. Buying books with actual money, especially from indie bookstores, makes such a difference.

IT'S LIVE YOU CAN BUY IT :D THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST is up on @libro.fm and probably other sites idk I'm too excited This has been a long time coming! Step into the forest and don't lose your nerve...

4 years ago today, I got my offer of pub for CRIP UP THE KITCHEN. 3 years ago today, it went to the printer (1 year is an extremely rushed production cycle for a cookbook oof). Today is the perfect day to buy it for yourself or the disabled people in your life! julessherred.com/crip-up-the-...

Happy release day to @mpmthewriter.bsky.social for DEATH AND DINUGUAN! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717270...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Oh yeah well I never even watched Rise of Skywalker

Wow. Vitale wrote The End of Policing, advocating for community-based solutions for safety instead of policing.

This time when I said "we're gonna lose" and walked away in disgust, we actually did lose. Sorry I couldn't pull it off today bird fam

The soprano solo starting with "there were shepherds abiding in the fields" leading into Glory to God

I need a new video game... again

I'm 19% into my Ko-fi goal which means I got health insurance for another month. Meeting the full amount will give me a couple months' worth of breathing room to find a more permanent solution so... Any contribution or share helps. And thanks to everyone who helped or messaged to express support.❤️

Good news we have hot water, bad news this shit was expensive Please buy my books? Definitely need to sell a few dozen (hundred sob) copies

Someone posted this on a subreddit called r/nonpoliticaltwitter and I got accused of perverting science for the sake of agitprop lmao what

Unfortunately after the sudden loss of my very young brother last month, grief left me unable to advocate for myself and i fell $460 short on rent. $maelee21 V: @ Maelee-Johnson PayPal.me/maeleeJ ko-fi.com/maedaej #neisvoid #disabilitycommunity #spoonie #helpfolkslive

Hey um om going to be out of pet food soon please if anyone can spare or even order the food that would be great

Was a second year med student studying for exams when I realized I was using histopathology image review as a study break because it was so much more fun than everything else

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet. I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait. www.theverge.com/news/826902/...

🎵 “Join Ice” - @wellesmusic on Colbert

When medical professionals systematically treat women as if their bodies do not belong to them, they lose trust in the system, and the turn to unsafe options. I don't have birth trauma, but I do have gynecological trauma. You don't really recover from that.

Really rough read. And another example of how granola right-wing grifters play on real societal issues to garner following. There is real misogyny in healthcare. Birth trauma is a very real phenomenon that is not taken seriously enough. And these people used that to make millions. And kill babies.

A better world is possible

Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of Jair Bolsonaro, with a judge claiming the former president was intent on escaping as he was set to begin his prison sentence for leading a coup attempt. n.pr/48l5ldE

My current list includes @marisakabas.bsky.social @katelynburns.com @swordsjew.bsky.social @flaminghydra.com @theflytrapmedia.com @hellgatenyc.com @thecity.nyc @19thnews.org and I’m sure I’m forgetting others! So many to choose from

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.

Well I can officially rip DVDs in Linux, so that's pretty much goodbye Windows since that's all I really use my PC for at this point. (Y'all were right, Linux Mint is pretty good.)

Our Holiday Sale is here early this year! ALL Haymarket Books are 40% Off through Friday, January 2nd!

Hey any bath & body works insiders know when Candle Day is?

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I love this experiment. (h/t r/science)

I think I can make what I have in the cupboard last until my disability comes in at the end of the month but it will mean one or two meals a day. If you’d like to help out with that, I’d appreciate it. #MutualAid ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman/

We're up by 10 so why does it feel like this game isn't going that well #Villanova

I can't speak to this more practically, but you should not use TurboTax for a myriad of reasons (including they lobby to make it so you can't do taxes easily without them). Not everyone can afford to use an accountant (or needs one) but TaxSlayer is fine.

I just bought so many books. 0.99 each!

I cannot "oh hell no" this strongly enough

Today my big accomplishment is putting in a grocery pickup order. If you know the struggle you know

Was a lazy lump all day, but before making dinner I finally moved all the broken down moving boxes from the dining room into the garage so now I feel like the queen of getting shit done

OJO Obrero (ojonc.org) is now available. This website features information about confirmed ICE operations in our state to help parents and workers get to school and work safely. OJO Obrero only features sightings that we can confirm involve federal agents, rather than crowdsourced reports

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken
