Is it a microaggression if your boss asks you if you like jellied eels, you say 'my family's cockney but no' and then he goes on to shit on other food that he saw on a cockney documentary that you do actually like

As the other Otherside poetry editor, I can't stress this enough. "Please fuck us up. Please make it gayer and more trans and stranger and more unabashedly you than you think would usually be accepted. WE want that kind of shit. We want the othered queer pieces that take forever to find a home 💜

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out. You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Not only do we get Macaulay Culkin in Fallout but they gave him the coldest out of context line.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.

#2 - Sometime Lofty Towers by David C. Smith (from @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social). This one really hit me in a way I didn't expect - much deeper and more affecting than I imagined from what seemed, at first, like by-the-numbers sword and sorcery. I'll be thinking about this one for a while!

Absolutely love Beam, their quality is outstanding and Anong Beam is just one of the loveliest people there is

I have neither thrown nor received a real punch in my life but I kind of think the root sin of the social internet is letting people just say and do things that in the real world would get the shit kicked out of them
