Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered. So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I’m not an expert but I don’t understand how something could be published that no one approved.

My mother crushed my dream of doing the same thing when she told me security was far better now (this was early 90s) and they’d catch me.

Words I said out loud yesterday, re: eating an edible given to me by a stranger: No, it tasted bad. He was like, we’re a start up. Yeah, I can tell. Of course he’s with a start up, I was in Silicon Valley at a furry convention, what did I expect.

Why does the Beltway media care more about the mental state of a private citizen who will never be president again than the rotting pumpkin currently occupying the White House?

Because I can’t do anything “productive” with constant nausea and exhaustion all day every day, I just send @stylishmordred.bsky.social memes and posts on every social media platform we share. Bless their patience.

Trying to internalize that despite the fact that I don’t feel like I’m doing anything, I’m growing a person inside me and that’s why I’m exhausted constantly.

This piece is a powerful exploration by @dmondom.bsky.social of the Ghorman Massacre, the genocides of the Empire, and who we decide is worthy of our empathy, compassion, and attention. clashingsabers.net/2025/05/12/w...

If you think generative AI “art” is the same as an artist using inspiration for their work by studying art, I have to conclude you’re stupid.

There’s a medication that’s pricey but safe for pregnancy and extremely effective for nausea. I can’t get a prescription. They want me to continue trying different combinations of less effective medicines. Like I’ve been doing for a month. Just give me the medicine that works!!

This attitude is a pet peeve of mine. “Baking is a science, cooking is an art.” They both involve chemical reactions. You can be precise with both. You can mess around with both. You just need a decent foundation of knowledge first.

Bambi, when the mother died. I was maybe 3. The first book I read on my own that upset me was A Wrinkle in Time. The boy who bounced the ball out of sync with the others and was tortured by having to do it forever, the ball causing him pain every time it hit his hand.

After I told a friend I was hurt they hadn’t responded to my messages after several months, they tried to accuse me of not reaching out to them. I hadn’t reached out in those months they were ignoring my messages, so I was at fault. I can’t deal with that kind of gaslighting.

things that thrill me when reading poetry: -"oh i didn't know you could do that in a poem" -an articulation of what it means... or what it is to be alive, an insight/mystery i didn't know i needed but i do -a music (a portal) i didn't know i needed, but i do, i do -gay stuff

It turns out, it doesn't matter if you're a children's librarian in Kentucky, a medical librarian in Massachusetts, or the literal Librarian of Congress... They'll accuse you of the same culture war nonsense all the same. Like some of us have been saying for years. Ready to band together yet? 📚

If you don’t do anything else today, do this. Dr. Carla Hayden has impeccable credentials and has revitalized the Library of Congress. Trump does not have the authority to dismiss her, but Congress must intervene.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Dreamed the baby just kind of fell out of me after only 3 months, still in amniotic sac (en caul birth). Despite it being before viability, was fully developed and only a little small. Needed time in NICU but wasn’t in serious danger. I just want everything to be ok. 184 days to go.

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

If we get to the after times, something I would love for people to internalize is that drs are just people, which means they can also be TERRIBLE HUMANS, and disabled people interface with a lot more of them than typical people do, so maybe believe us when we tell you they’re terrible humans

DC restaurants are on alert but ICE is also targeting schools. There is currently ICE presence at the Mondo Verde school on P Street -- parents are forming a human chain and plan to do so for the rest of the week. If you're in DC and able to, they would like help

Before you start typing about how there are more important things: the Met Gala funds the costume collection of the Met. Textile preservation/restoration is important work that needs funding - you may not think of it as such but textiles are an important part of history that often goes unpreserved
