It seems like the world is burning down, but in Al Mawasi camp where my friend and brother Mohamed lives with his family the world is ending in the water of winter rains and their tents are flooding. $63 gets him to a nice round number. chuffed.org/project/help...

I interviewed ferociously brilliant filmmaker Mira Nair, a.k.a Zohran Mamdani’s mother, about how her voice and vision have shaped a man who sees a better way forward for all of us. SPOILER ALERT: Love matters. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Ruba is stuck at $150 out of $400 needed if you can help any

Well, I met the Pope and thanked him for supporting Palestine. ❤️

Dear San Antonio, but ESPECIALLY Black San Antonio, or, anyone else who wants solid healthcare for birthing people round that way, my midwifery sib Shiphrah is launching her practice and could use your support (and a few specific items).

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Great summary for how to navigate imtoday's world of information overload. Turning off or limiting nearly all my inputs, resisting the urge to shame and hate read, and refusing to argue online have been especially transformative for me. All we can control is our own behavior. But those actions stack

Azooz and his family need our help. Please give what you can. www.gofundme.com/f/vxcep-my-p... @azzoz4.bsky.social

Okay I am taking a little break but I’ll have more to add from my mentions and messages in a bit. Please if you have the time or money either donate or pick a family to champion today- it’s impacting almost every single person I know in Gaza and I cannot keep up

Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

🛑To all compassionate hearts, we are freezing to death. My little girl is freezing. I beg you, I have lost my husband, my job, my home, everything. Please, I need 500 euros to buy a tent. I beg you, save us! @mommunism.bsky.social @lillywachowski.bsky.social gofund.me/bec64b33

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

This is your reminder that Pete was mayor when two historic Black firsts took their positions (fire chief, police chief) and both had resigned under pressure from racists before the end of his tenure. Pete did nothing to protect them. He’s been shit for a very long time!

patton oswalt aside, link is still on a permaban over using a kirked up white boy as a reaction image during a site’s CEO’s crashout, accused of promoting/glorifying violence meanwhile, the @deptofwar.bsky.social account posts actual death threats w/ evidence of carrying them out & it’s just cool?

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

The harsh winter of Gaza has returned, and we are still living in the open. The cold is biting, and our children shiver all night. We desperately need warm clothes, blankets, and shoes. Your support has helped us survive, and we ask for your continued solidarity.🍉🕊 Campaign link: gofund.me/a0a540b8

Imagine Guillotines would make a great band or album name.

How long before someone's dead mom convinces them to kill themself?

Only One Bed is characterization! It's tension! Every choice says something! Does someone sleep on the floor? can anyone sleep at all? does someone get up with a blanket for the person on the floor? do they go to bed on opposite sides & wake up cuddling? ENDLESS VARIATIONS to tell a story!

New #WriterBeware blog post: Yet another in the growing catalog of AI-driven writing scams from Nigeria: a multi-layered marketing/editing referral scheme that begins with a message or email from someone purporting to be a well-known author writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

Ok. This cooks. This I’m excited about. But I do demand that Jarnathan be canonized as a Trek alien.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I saw the most bonkers conversation on tiktok where people were arguing that Romance doesn’t need an HEA and authors were fighting for their lives in the comments trying to explain what a genre convention is. Again, trying to sell me a mystery with no crime and see what happens.

We drowned 😭😫💔 We woke up to rain falling straight onto our heads. I swear we were drowning inside our tent . Everything collapsed, and my daughters were soaked and shaking, their lips turning blue. Majd still in the hospital. Please save us… It's still raining at night. gofund.me/e0cad4d4e

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

There was some strange system where they all got their food and shelter and education and medical for free, no matter what job they did.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

“Surely there’s an egg knife, Edward.” 😂

I am moving out of state and have an outdoor cat who is very skittish that I simply can’t take on a plane without risking life and limb. Would anyone in PDX like to adopt a moody gray lady? She could be fine inside a home with no other cats, she doesn’t tolerate them (hence outside). DM if so.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

I’m not going to name you publicly, but if you were the speaker who put in the abstract that was so obviously written by ChatGPT it made me groan “Oh, come on” so loud people asked what I was looking at and then they groaned too, you should be almost as embarrassed as the people who accepted it

Progressive out here making "AI" ads and squandering the general goodwill people have to their mildly annoying but mostly quirky and light chuckle-worthy marketing campaigns. Gross.

This is the exsct opposite of everything we should be doing, not least of which because the world's two largest economies need a lot of open collaboration to tackle climate change. From @cipolicy.bsky.social internationalpolicy.org/publications...
