Hey friends, a pillar of the YA community needs help but has to remain anonymous for safety reasons. Please boost or donate if you can! gofund.me/958df98a

If you don't like the big A... Fire Heart: bookshop.org/p/books/fire... Cold Steel: bookshop.org/p/books/cold...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Promote your book, film, project, game, jewelry, comic, whatever you came up with in your beautiful imagination. I am doubling down on ordering books from the library, watching films/tv, escaping through what artists create. Tell us about it. Promote it without shame. Please. Now more than ever. 💚

us: it's a good thing for trans people & allies to collect, preserve, and distribute trans works, especially in the current social climate them: WELL HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT. I TOTALLY SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE BTW hmm.

Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy. FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

holy shit, they're in the process of uploading all of farscape officially to YT for free. WATCH THIS SHOW, it's bonkers and fantastic!! I cannot emphasise enough how damn good it is 😍

This. Is. Amazing. Finally, an ebook alternative for Amazon, but for independent bookstores. This is amazing for readers who want to be more intentional about where you're spending your money. 📖 #BookSky

my most anticipated book of 2025 is Lessons in Magic and Disaster releasing in August and you should join me in pre-ordering it! bookshop.org/p/books/less...

All right y’all, so here’s the deal. We’re struggling. Our monthly goal is to sell 1500 books. This month, we’ve sold less than 400. We need your help. We HAVE to sell 1500 books by the end of Feb to keep our doors open. This was supposed to be a video, but Bluesky can't do 2 mins of video(Thread)

It’s getting real y’all. 97% of New York Magazine Union members just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from Vox Media. If you love @nymag.com and the work we do, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

Hey. Using the r word or the ending of the r word attached to whatever suffix for our enemies is still 1. Ableist in ways that HELP THEM 2. Repugnant 3. Telling disabled people like me exactly what you think of us I do not care what your rationale is, it is wrong.

Please stop publishing profiles and interviews with the so-called "MAGA Granny" — Pamela Hemphill is not a reputable source, and has a history of manipulating journalists and making contradictory statements.

Today would be a good day to read and share my essay about trans medicine and trans autonomy, and why trans people are complexly traumatized without them. We deserve for our bodies to belong to us. We deserve lives we can live. I’d love for cis people to read this. medium.com/@mayrpeterso...

A gentle reminder that your attention is a form of currency. Spend it wisely.

Meet the Americans who still take COVID-19 precautions seriously. “I don’t consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,” Zebrowski said. “Cautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.”

Stansted Airport, London has some (very bad) ChatGPT-generated "poetry" splashed on a wall next to me, supposedly part of some guy's "poetry social experiment" to "heal the world with the power of poetry." and it's proudly displayed that it's AI! incredibly bad!

I am guessing most folks are stretched tight on the money front, but if you are looking for solid LA orgs to give to, this is a great list. There are also asks for items that LA nonprofits on the ground are hoping to acquire. 💚https://la2050.org/blog/la-wildfires-volunteer-and-support-guide

Friends, a petition I've created to go to Parliament for the protection of Trans Healthcare in the UK has just gone live. If you are in the United Kingdom, please sign and share this. If you are not in the United Kingdom, please share it. #Trans #LGBTQ #UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

THIS! There is *nothing* cheaper or easier than an idea. Any morning—and I’m not *that* wildly creative—I get half a dozen ideas for novels before I’ve even had my tea. But the novel comes of the work of distilling an idea up through your brain, in *your unique voice.* Not some answering machine’s.

It’s messed up that a guy can create and co-executive produce an Amazon show, write for a Netflix show, pay for health insurance, and still not be able to afford necessary medical care. Please consider boosting the signal and chipping in if you can?
