Two whole years since OFMD S2? Two /human years/ of me having a Pavlovian sobbing response to 'This Woman's Work' that makes it actually inconvenient for me to hear it in public? 😅

What kills me is it's such a loser ideology, at that. "Society should never change ever" is literally impossible so conservatism is doomed from the start. If conservatives had their way throughout history we'd still be living naked in caves.

I OFFICIALLY CALL BLUESKY USERS TO DO A MUTUAL AID / DIRECT SUPPORT POSTER'S STRIKE. No content except things that directly support marginalized people. Flood the site with the people Jay would love to forget she is personally killing. And nothing else. #StrikeForMutualAid

A petition urging bsky to sanction Jesse Singal for releasing private medical information, in keeping with the spirit of enforcing community guidelines equally has received over 16k signatures at the time of this post.

This is very, very interesting northskysocial.com/posts/faq Migrating over there will apparently keep all your Bsky posts and contacts - could be a good move if this place gets any less queer friendly. I would be SO gratified if the CEO here experienced consequences. @transrights.northsky.social

I seriously need to stop submitting work to places that can't be bothered to send rejection emails.

Stickers arrived and they look great! I'll send orders out today and there are still some available if you want one ko-fi.com/s/96e8939a6a

wow who could have predicted

For now just contenting myself with blocking both Jesse Singal and CEO Jay, keeping an eye on the situation and looking for potential places to move to.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

What the Bsky CEO is currently doing is particularly getting to me because it's exactly what a certain publisher did to me when I asked them about maybe protecting trans authors more, and yeah they were never held accountable for that either.

I just want to make sure I’m clear on this. Yesterday people asked why Bluesky moderation changed their standards to protect a guy who was professionally attacking trans people and the mods said “waffles” as a way to say that asking them about protecting this guy was a non sequitur.

This is genuinely making me want to leave just because Jay is apparently such a smug pos.

This is in response to bluesky mods not protecting trans people Also when we all submitted feedback a while back asking them to stop banning Palestinians, they went on a mass-deletion spree Yt supremacy, misogyny, misogynoir, sexism/genderism, ableism protected here too—but don’t harass the mods

I don't want to leave here but I absolutely will if the situation demands. Worth keeping an eye on as the Bluesky owners/mods appear to move further right (sigh)

What’s wild to me is these are consumer products. Companies are supposed to be trying to entice us, but instead we have to fight them at every step.

89 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

It's not that I want to leave. I wont leave. But the ceo and mods are melting down like children because the trans community is upset, validly, about things the ceo and others said and the lack of moderation of rabid transphobes. It's the nazi bar story. It will eventually twitterfy this place

You can find all of them on my Ko-fi shop! Shipping or #TheWeeCon collection available 🐱🔗👇 ko-fi.com/lostinthebab... #OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath #ShopOFMD

i was ready to like six months ago but between constantly and needlessly banning Palestinians, trans women, and the new TOS it feels less likely every day

Failing to take my own advice, I look at the app and immediately get Annoyed By Humans again 🥲

I really need to get out of the habit of checking this app. Every time I log on it's just more bad news.

It just keeps coming huh

Hags and water spirits abound in English folklore; in Suffolk we have a tale of a pond in Rendlesham said to be haunted by a ghostly woman in white who has been seen gliding on its surface or rising from its depths… #PhantomsFriday

This looks interesting. @bsky.app take note. You are screwing with the wrong user base. We WILL cancel and move again if you bow any further to the far right.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Trans pupils in Scotland are limiting food and drink intake to avoid using school toilets, fearing they might be ‘outed’ www.scenemag.co.uk/trans-pupils...

Do not sign up for digital ID. Do not comply. Make this shit unworkable "For clarity, it will not be a criminal offence to not hold a digital ID and police will not be able to demand to see a digital ID as part of a “stop and search.” petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Last night I had some random 70 year old woman on here telling me my SAD was largely due to 'my attitude', and when I replied that I know she meant well but please don't say things like that to strangers, she continued to double down. I know it's preaching to the choir for most people who'll see 1/

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

The one thing I will be forever relieved about is that I never got a Spotify account. A rare good decision!

Heads up about this complete piece of work author, in case any of my mutuals who follow her are unaware of her bigotry.

Consultation on future access to the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds The consultation is open until 12:00 on Tuesday 25th November 2025. Respond here 👉 www.hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is

I paid out royalties to our authors today, and I'm reminded again just how much more they make from purchases directly through our store vs. Am*zon. Like, multiple dollars more per paperback purchase. It's wild! Anyway, pick up a rad horror/Weird fiction book here: www.cursedmorselspress.com

Prompted by learning that my friend's rich boss plans to watch the HBO Harry Potter: if you stream that show, you are a selfish, ignorant piece of shit. I don't care what knots you tie yourself in to justify it - if you REALLY can't bear to miss it, at least have the decency to torrent it.

Perfection.

God, I am struggling again today. I would love a day to just settle down and have a full day writing 😩

Found the *perfect* price list holder for my first market of Spooky Season! 🎃 This 'Thing' even matches my Wednesday jacket! 🖤😍 Ipswich folks, if you're in town on Sunday, head to The Walk 12pm-4pm. I'll be serving 3 zines for £10. #craftmarket #ipswichevents #fanzine #spookyzine #witchyzine

Trying not to get just increasingly irate at the state of things, but I've just been on the phone to Boots AGAIN and they're telling me there is no way to get their fckn £98 private Covid vax except via their online booking form, which /does not work on my laptop/ I am about to tableflip.

I have free downloadable printable zines titled "How to Report ICE and Help Keep Our Neighbors Safe" for many different areas all over the US. There is a tutorial on how to assemble the zines (only a printer and a pair of scissors needed): drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Subs day, really hope the place I've just submitted four stories to doesn't hate me now lol (they obviously accept multiple submissions)

Trying to take joy from the entire world collectively going 'yay! Spooky season! It's cold and dark now!' to get me through the hardest part of the year for me (tbf the hardest part is midwinter, but this is the start of my yearly SAD decline 😩) I am a spring/summer goth 🥲

Autistic people are expected to spend ridiculous amounts of energy untangling unspoken rules to blend into neurotypical society when one health class during elementary school explaining how Some People Communicate Differently And That's Okay could improve our lives massively for the better.

Doing all this "Britain is when you say hello to your neighbours and eat oranges" shit while also announcing a crackdown on migrants. Fuck you.

Just gonna leave this AI free search here for anyone who needs it udm14.com

New hell. That article is very much worth a read. I have never been more glad to have deleted Facebook.

Never heard of this author but this is worth noting.
