Working on . . . stuff! And things!

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Everything @margaret.bsky.social writes but here’s the latest I read of hers which is an utter delight and may turn me into a fantasy reader www.feministpress.org/books-a-m/th...

I deeply believe that we need to stand in community with each other, but that only works if you don’t run around kicking the shins of the people you claim to be in community with.

Because of Reasons, I will be promoting this thread even harder now 🏳️‍⚧️📚

Hey! Take your meds! Drink some water! Overthrow fascism!

Woke up this morning in a fighting mood, I suppose. 😉

The “oh no, BlueSky isn’t funny anymore!” people can go kick rocks with open-toed sandals. This site thrived in the early days before a lot of y’all wrenched yourselves away from Twitter because of the most marginalized people. Now those people are dealing with their existence being threatened.

Last night right before bed I experienced the roller coaster that was the last Steven Universe episode (original season). I went to bed with my usual distraction-YouTube-playlists going. And for some reason in the middle of the night, my phone kept bouncing over to my music app, which had been

I am doing my social media hiatus for the weekend! If you miss me or just need to take a break from all the nonsense, check out my books. Women with swords, lots of neurodivergent characters, people standing against the system! (I am still working on moving to itchio, I promise!)

My writing life used to feel like a dream, and right now it feels like a tether to reality. And I write sci-fi/fantasy. Anyway! Like, don’t forget to drink water and take your meds, it actually is important in the midst of all this.

Folks, this is coming down to the wire but is still super reachable. Hopefully I don't have to tell you why trans people would want to get out of this blimp explosion of a country. This is when we need our cis allies to help out in material, financial ways. Donate what you can.

This is urgent, and it's happening in my home state. Please share to get as many Ohioan eyes on this as possible!

Should I get a motorcycle now for when my eldest child starts learning to drive in a few years and before tariffs make them wildly expensive?

I value the art I make more than ever in this moment: the sloppy, messy, imperfect, human stuff I create. I’ve always believed stories were important but sort of shrugged about *how* important they could possibly be when Real Shit went down. But in this place, I’ve realized how important it is to

We're trying to figure out a list of what to try and get with the limited funds we have now before they run out, & what we can wishlist and hope for. Please give recommendations? We're exhausted from the sprint to move & then unpack the U-Haul. Brainfog is severe & I don't want to miss the obvious.

Nic is getting close to their goal, but they’re close to their deadline, too!

This really is what it feels like to be a citizen of the United States right now.

I've been getting yelled at & sometimes slandered for years by some when I say this over and over and over again but it's just true. It's ground zero of everything. Hence why I have never understood the rage directed at the people who have been focused on mutual aid.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I am begging you to please bring trans folks onto your YouTube shows about trans issues. You are a trusted voice in science communication and you are missing the mark here.

Our culture has this problem with anger. It’s viewed as a negative force. We often don’t know what to do with it. But there’s no human emotion that is bad or should be locked away. Anger, especially now, is good and useful. We are angry for good reason. We have to hold onto it and direct it.

Whether you have Democrat or Republican reps/senators, call them and tell them how you feel about these tariffs and that they need to go. Republicans are feeling the heat, and it isn't useless. Please take 5 min to call.

Today just thinking of swords and the women who wield them. *sigh*
