I really need the Andor writers to stop making me care about Cecil and Dedra.

When you see this, post a vampire.

@ajc.com No coverage of the 50501 protest in Midtown on Saturday?

Happy Easter to those who celebrate and Happy Sunday to all! 💜💚💙

I just discovered this organization. They are organizing protests across the country for those who opposed our current administration's actions. www.fiftyfifty.one

This article presents a stark illustration of how anti-woman, anti-family, and anti-reality the majority of Republican elected officials are. Perhaps Rep. Luna should consider a change. www.ajc.com/news/nation-...

New weight loss strategy? Every time I want to eat I'm going to open the news instead, since so much of it makes me feel, literally, ill. Like this one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Many thanks to @effies.bsky.social and @therisingtithes.bsky.social for reading at this week's Two Hour Transport. It was so good, y'all.

What's this in my inbox? Why, it's a notification that my preorder of the Death of Mountains, by @kurellian.bsky.social is on its way!

I said, "I hurt myself today," and without missing a single beat, my husband replied, "To see if you could still feel?" And this is why I love him. (Also, I'm fine)

I've been reading The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain, by Sofia Samatar, during breaks at this conference I'm at (yes, totally instead of networking) and it is so good!

Check out this very cool thing @wilwheaton.net is doing. I can’t wait to listen to it. www.vitalthrills.com/its-storytim...

Not everyone who wants to will be able to help, but if you can, please consider it. @rsagarcia.bsky.social has been writing amazing prose while battling cancer for a very long time now. gofund.me/86ac4521

Two of my favorite short fiction writers here, @foxesandroses.bsky.social and @nassos.bsky.social. If you haven't read their stories yet, you should.

“At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us — leave us the fuck alone! Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records.” Kurt Cobain, 1992

What's this? A news story I actually love? (I hope this is a gift link. It was hard to tell.)

Another story that won't get the attention it deserves.

The news remains shit so why not enjoy this video of someone trying to clean a water bowl for tortoises while the tortoises repeatedly try to get in it? (Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DF0jAMl... )

Any help for Seane much appreciated.

It's all lies, all the way down.

So cool.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Awesome.
