Seat belts, everyone 💚 If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you. Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs… 💚

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

BTW there is a nonprofit that provides flights to people seeking abortion or gender-affirming healthcare in red states… it’s called elevated access! i’ve met a few people involved with it at various aviation events and they are all genuinely kind and supportive people www.elevatedaccess.org

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.

I mentioned supporting trans writers/artists/creators in my last post. I’d like to make that easy for others to do — please drop links for Patreons, newsletters, etc. with a little intro to what you create so people can find you. Directly supporting trans creators right now is meaningful action.

Here's the first of probably periodic warnings to remind yourself that the "firehose of falsehoods" disinformation tactic is about to go into full swing. You do not need to watch the news to bear witness. You do not need to watch hideous videos of violence. They will be circulated to keep you upset

Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave – and it is often hard to be brave – be kind." @sarahkendzior.bsky.social thecorrespondent.com/5696/were-he...

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

I needed a reminder to take a break from doomscrolling, and I suspect I'm not the only one. So: it's okay to take even five minutes to put the phone down, minimize the window, whatever. Get a drink of water, unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders. Take care of yourselves & each other, friends.

Adding to the chorus -- Akela and Amelia are 100% correct. The air quality is horrible right now and can cause respiratory issues (especially in at-risk groups.) Stay safe and inside unless you need to evacuate.

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

I'm still working on fleshing out Gwenolie's backstory, but her older sibling was the 1.0 WoL, who never came home after the Calamity. Gwen watched her parents lose hope and decided she needed answers, so she set out for the city of Gridania to see if she could track her sibling down. #GwenFacts

As a Midwest kid, we had milk at dinner every night (kids and parents). I still drink a cup daily tbh but that's because I get muscle cramps if I don't drink any for a few days. I also hated drinking water as a kid (which I have grown out of), so milk helped me stay hydrated back then.

I think Gwenolie would be a music teacher or music therapist. Music is enormously important to her and she would want to share that somehow. She'd also make jewelry as a hobby or side hustle and have a garden! #GwenFacts

I think about this moment ALL of the time. I would literally feel guilty over the amount of time and hours I put into this game, and then this moment hit and it finally clicked. The friends I've made, the impact on my character and interests... It was all worth it.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

I love Video Games as much as I hate AI, which is a lot! AI is unethical and a tool for those who lack creativity. The fact that anyone would want to use it in creating art makes me sick. Video game actors are still on strike and deserve fair wages, safe working conditions and A.I. protections.
