Reposting! It remains Caribbean Hertiage and Pride month. I will say, while I've seen a lot of SFFH outlets talk about Pride, (Yay) I've barely seen any SFFH outlets mention Caribbean Heritage Month. Which kinda makes me sad. The region does produce great spec fic. Buy our books! Mines are gay!

Shapeshifters, one of my earliest clients and the makers of the last binders I ever wore, have been targeted by the FDA's ongoing efforts to eliminate gender affirming care. They've started a fundraiser to cover legal costs. Please spread and support them!

My long-awaited top surgery is scheduled for 17 September, and because of insurance and credit bureau BS, I need your help. Thank you for helping me reclaim my mountains ⛰️⛰️

Don’t leave them alone in Gaza. Hammam is a volunteer nurse caring for the wounded daily. His family is homeless, hungry & has lost everything. His brother has epilepsy & urgently needs treatment. Every donation provides vital food & medical care. Don’t ignore them. 🙏❤️ chuffed.org/project/1844...

Underlining this with a sharpie, actually, cause white people are reeeeally comfortable doing kinkshaming along these lines and even trying to tell *us* how Raceplay Is Always Evil And Bad No Exceptions and like Hey you remember that this has master/slave stuff as a foundation right

To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

The doctor wept with us:Elias’s vision improved by 1.5degrees!Your mercy gave my baby this dim light. But my heart breaks;he still needs surgery at 6.Please don’t abandon his small eyes now.Keep donating to light up his dark future.He needs you.😭 Verified by:molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/1624...

Oh boy okay I guess it's time for another "boundaries of kink" talk: Orientation play can be uncomfortable to wander into. Absolutely. It's all the worse because we're actively punished for tagging or otherwise identifying kink content, making it much easier to accidentally wander into kink content

It failed in totally predictable ways - exactly the ways Remain warned it would. A catastrophic failure of the information environment that UK voters were so badly misled about the consequences of the Brexit vote

Marcus has been falsely labeled by the mods for being [checks notes] a MA seeker. We know exactly where this leads, we know *exactly* what happens if we don't act. I am *BEGGING* you to share this post, to quote this post. Please help Marcus. 💸💕

Rewatched Land Before Time with my QPP the other day thinking that I'm an adult now and it won't affect me. ....Not so much, no. *Screams into a pillow*

someone in Minneapolis please save this precious kitty. I would do it but I’m too far away.

If you can spare a few bucks, it would help this family remain housed. I’ve known Juniper since Twitter and she’s a really good mom trapped in an impossible situation. Please, please help if you can. PayPal: www.paypal.me/Coffinelf Cashapp: cash.app/$juniperkewpie Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/coffinfairy

what we're seeing isn't just the rise of youtubers, the dominance of horror, or some indie groundswell, it's because hollywood's 20 year reliance on franchises no one under 40 gives a shit about has finally come home to roost

Hey, if you’re in the Atlanta area, I could use your help with something. I have been put in touch with a student who will be enrolling at Georgia state fall. This Student is currently in an abusive home, I won’t go into details about what they are dealing with, but just know the situation is bad.

For how many of us was Persepolis the first sight of Iran other than American media’s recycled clips of AKs and burning flags. RIP

It’s Pride month! Feed a hungry woman.

autumnalpaca.carrd.co Venmo: AlpacaWax #mutualaid #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026💸💕 180/1000! Day 4 of Pride! Able to buy some medical supplies, essentials. Pills still needed, bed is literally collapsing beneath me, help an elder enby who escaped homelessness finish setting up their new life! Tysm!

In Canada this is known as the Purge, where 2SLGBTQIA+ people were systematically removed from civil service, military, and RCMP from the 1950s through the mid-1990s. The documentary is heart-breaking:

Trying to remind the Ottawa community that parole is a human right has been bringing out the worst in people and I really hate being a prison abolitionist right now. And/or I wish it was easier.

A statement regarding @darkhorseunion.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4uOQHVM

Oh no 🥺 The French-Iranian artist, comic book author and director Marjane Satrapi, who became world-renowned with the graphic novel and film "Persepolis," has died at the age of 56. She also directed Chicken with Plums (2011), The Voices (2014), Radioactive (2019), Dear Paris (2024)...

If you're putting together a list of queer SFF books, it NEEDS to include self-published authors.

We've lost one of the most important graphic novelists of my generation. The world is a darker place without her, but a better place because of her too brief time with us.

Very sad news... R.I.P. Marjane Satrapi! www.euronews.com/culture/2026...

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

When I say weakening the federal government is one of our better options at the moment, this sort of thing is what I have in mind.

"Art is how we decorate space; music is how we decorate time." Jean-Michel Basquiat i dont care how many books i write, i'll never be *half* this profound...

OPS is once again "warning the community" about a "high risk offender" who's been released on parole and I'm wondering how it is anybody is supposed to readjust to life outside of prison while everybody is being told what a high risk offender they are twenty plus years after they offended.

1. Simple Plan. They're from Canada so good for them on that front. ....I REALLY hate Simple Plan.

This month, instead of debating whether or not queer roles should be played by queer actors, take some time to appreciate the openly queer actors we do have. Jordan Gavaris, Ben Daniels, Steven G. Norfleet, T.R. Knight are just some names who could be coming up instead of-

Happy Pride the vampire Lestat airs one June 7th and I'm not ready

a large amount of the “commercially successful” ‘heavy’ bands are just pop bands, which is fine, but then their fans act like authorities on heavy music, when they don’t actually enjoy it 😮‍💨

People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

I have friends whose publishers won't buy a *duology* until they have sales on book one. Newberys don't make a difference. Publishers do not want to pay for a series. They want it to appear from nothing, and blame authors when it does not.
