Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

Ah, yes, when an "indie voices" profile/promotion website has both @victoriastrauss.com & @bookspotlight.bsky.social blocked, that's totally not sus at all 😒 The fact that one of the biggest indie book event hosts is also blocked, @tessahastjarjanto.com, is also not sus😒 Beware of @metareelz.com 📚💙

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This is utterly horrifying.

I need to get off Threads and come back here. Hi. Hello, site that doesn't feed me constant rage bait. Hello.

Proud to have been one of the 9,200 people who submitted that name to the contest. Lol blockclubchicago.org/2026/01/28/a...

I'd actually go further and say that the "STEM"/"humanities" split is a meaningless and fake one. Mathematics and programming have as mucv in common with music and writing as with biochemistry or paleontology.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

"'I felt like I was going to die' said 16-yr-old citizen."

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

I argued that communities targeted by ICE should be granted citizenship immediately. This is both a matter of justice and an imperative if we're going to crush fascism. Fascism thrives where there are groups that lack full rights. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/for-immigr...

Hosting an Official Watch Party on Saturday with Bluepoch for R1999! www.twitch.tv/decafinvidia Collabs w/ @lady-kisaell.bsky.social @mjbeasi.com @shadowmonarch1371.bsky.social JadieMoon #Schedule #Twitch #Youtube #Collab #Karaoke #Music #Persona3Reload #Deltarune #Reverse1999 #Minecraft

Really, spreading covid was one thing when we didn’t know how to stop it, but continuing for years after we’ve known that combo masks, vaccines and air purification work wonders together, why are we still behaving like we’re in the dark ages and have to catch this thing?

#Reverse1999 #R1999 this is a small starter pack for any reverse 1999 fans that are new here and are looking for people to follow! i've also included a few feeds that can help enhance your experience ^^ go.bsky.app/A9oQs7c

(Children are not getting these surgeries) (Also, not sure where Oz has been looking, but he's way off on the costs, too)

Pretty sure Dr. Oz just showed everyone how you can make yourself a dick for free.

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

I really hope the Senate kills the trans care felony bill. And the Medicaid HRT ban for adults likely to pass the House tomorrow. I really do. Not sure what else to say but call your senators. It's worked before.

Borrowing from the library (physical or digital!) is free and supports authors and their careers, making it more likely they will get to publish more books. Pirating a book does none of this. It’s a purely selfish choice, and I wish people would just own that and stop pretending it’s noble.

Also to situate this in context, a bookstore selling more than 20 copies of my last book means they want to host an event with me for my next one. Each book purchase is hugely influential. If you can give the gift of books this season, do it please. bsky.app/profile/blip...

... indie bookstore purchasing, because it keeps our books on the shelves and can turn bookstores into advocates for our work – and library borrows, because, again, that keeps it on the shelves for new readers to find. 14/

The biggest question authors get about this is "what is the most helpful way to buy my book"? As you can see, the numbers are not that different by format, but what really helps us is ... 13/

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Some folks have brought this up in comments, but just saying... maybe we should ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to the multitude of studies showing COVID infections (even "mild" ones) cause brain changes and ongoing cognitive decline. We've been letting our young people get COVID over & over & over again.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

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.

As you can see I'm taking it easy next week. Gonna have a little bit more sleep this thanksgiving weekend. 🍗 www.twitch.tv/decafinvidia or www.youtube.com/live/XAG5s1i... Collabs w/ Jadie @shadowmonarch1371.bsky.social @lady-kisaell.bsky.social @mjbeasi.com #Schedule #Twitch #Youtube #Collab

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

This bird flu investigation is well worth your time. I got a little peek behind the curtain into the data analysis and it's truly impressive work from @natlash.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/bird...

OK so balancing my hobbies with self care. Here's the plan for the week~ www.twitch.tv/decafinvidia Collabs w/ Jadie @shadowmonarch1371.bsky.social @lady-kisaell.bsky.social @mjbeasi.com @shinybottv.bsky.social @sjouklynne.bsky.social Riku #Schedule #Twitch #Youtube #Collab
