hi, are you doomscrolling? So many things are chaotic and unsettling right now. But staying up late doomscrolling will also make things harder. Try to do something offline, go to bed early and charge your phone away from your bedroom. You still deserve time to adequately rest and recover.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t let anyone ever disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Been thinking a lot about how when I first moved here, I thought things like "no income tax" were awesome icing on the beautiful Seattle cake, but that was because I was 22 and stupid

@puppycapitalism.bsky.social and I watched Phantasm just a few weeks ago (first time for me, how??) and it gave us some much needed laughs; the moment in this pic was absolutely badass. Will be sending a postcard. Doing something a lil goofy and sincere is one way to get through this shit

If you're an author (indie or trad!), I highly recommend joining Authors Against Book Bans! They're doing real work

Bloomberg is reporting that federal workers tasked with approving medical devices for Medicare have reportedly received termination notices. As a wheelchair user who also uses some other assistive devices (canes, shower chairs, that sort of thing) I want to add some context to this.

Getting ready to move = shedding 100+ books and that still leaves me with so many boxes 🥲 but also the promise of future shelf space which I can tell you right now will be taken up by non-white, non-cis authors

Hey team, can anyone following me who was alive and on the internet between 1997 and 2015 specifically chime in to tell me which off-the-beaten-path digital spaces you were most active in?

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to NOT post the first line of your book where it can be scraped like everything else online. That the A I goons are going to feed it all into their rusty blenders doesn't mean you have to make it easy for them. This goes double for a WIP.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.
