PSA: When a deaf or HoH person asks you to repeat something, please say the exact same words over again. Rephrasing is counterproductive! When we say "Say that again?" we're asking for a second try at parsing your sequence of sounds. Rephrasing means we have to start all over instead!

Austin’s only and oldest queer and feminist bookstore was vandalized this weekend. Someone threw a hunk of concrete at the Pride flag painted on their front window, smashing it and damaging the inside of the building. This would be an amazing time to show them some love. Ebookwoman.com

Listen, you don't need to write every day to be a writer. And some days, you feel like writing but just don't for whatever reason. It's not a big deal. No one's coming to yoink your writer's license. Chill. Take a step back if you need to, sort through thoughts. You're still a writer, fucko.

Thinking about perception and memory and change, and how a lot of people are - understandably - frustrated at the lack of action on the part of US dems. But then one is killed and the memorials share a whole long list of things she's done. I'm in MN and I didn't even know Hortman's name before this.

Been playing Sea of Stars on the Switch, which is a fun lil rpg, but to me the main appeal is that it has a decent text size. Like I am actually reading the dialog. It's so beautiful.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

We have to all do something even when it’s not possible to physically attend a protest. We cannot stay silent and we cannot stay inactive.

Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, but not because women are better leaders. Women can be trash too. Countries with women leaders tend to be better run, because if your country is too sexist to elect women about 1/2 the time, then it's not selecting leaders on talent.🤷🏿‍♂️

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

When Viggo Mortensen kicked that Orc helmet and screamed out in anguish at the deaths of Merry and Pippin, ICE didn't exist yet. Literally no ICE agents knew he actually broke his toe, because there was no such thing as ICE. We can go back, not to save his toe, but to that life

Human rights include the rights of the occasional jerk, lazy person, & "normally law-abiding person who ran a red light this morning b/c their alarm didn't go off." One can make correct arguments about the aggregate contributions of immigrants w/o suggesting there's a virtue test for "good ones."
