The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

The thread I didn't know I needed, but definitely did. 🥰

Since @/stormytalks.bsky.social insists on attempting to smear my name and call me homophobic on multiple websites long after I blocked him I have to respond. Here's some info & the comic itself so you can make up your own mind, this is his only evidence that I am a bigot who deserves harassment 👇

Post along live during “War of the Gargantuas” on MeTV! Add the hashtag #svengoolie to your posts- and pick a side- the big brown creature or the nasty green one?( not valid on any remaining black and white vintage TV sets)

Here is a list of groups that have been doing the work of advocating for queer and trans people who are incarcerated. You can help someone with as little as being a friendly pen pal who is able and willing to listen and respond regularly. legacy.lambdalegal.org/know-your-ri...

I'm all caught up and totally broke so I'm down to do a few more of these!

Just a quick thread with some creature protagonist recommendations =] I'm casting the net a little wider than @adeblur.bsky.social asked since I know some people want other things, too. Raptor Red by Dr. Robert T. Bakker is up first! This was my first creature fiction ever as a little girl.

i will once again plug the short story i had reprinted in small wonders, but only read it if you want to read a cozy sapphic fantasy about wives who love each other deeply where nothing bad happens. smallwondersmag.com/piece/the-fr... #WeeknightWriters

1) Pre-filled alt text for gifs is an absolute gift. Makes accessible posting much easier to do 2) WHO THE FUCK IS MR. KETCHUP?

Crazy new article about a legal loophole in 1500s Venice that let you get away with gay sex but only while dressed as a masked character. Male prostitutes got so popular that the gvt let women go topless to better compete! To this day people wear cat masks for the Carnival of Venice

The other big problem with using generative AI to help you write is that it makes you a huge fuckin loser

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

In traditional European heraldry, there are colors and metals (silver/white, gold/yellow). The rule is you never put a metal on a metal, or a color on a color. It's a rule for readability reasons - you want contrast. You want to be able to read it clearly on a battlefield. That said, it's a rule.

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

I’m not on substack and I’m not a journalist or a politician with OpEd space in WaPo, but if ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE who have a REAL PLATFORM that’s not a 20+ year old blog want to give boosting such stories a shot, here’s what my version of that looks like: www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

I know that cases like this are hugely discovery dependent and therefore a hard lift to ask for someone to take on pro bono, but if any lawyer out there feels the burning need to fuck up a company that's being blasé as fuck about killing multiple cats, Kiki has loads of provable monetary damages.

This just came up so for anyone who doesn't know - .AI files are *a vector file type*, they are Adobe Illustrator's native file type. Files ending with .ai don't have anything to do with /that/ kind of AI 🫶 Pls don't call out an artist bc you see them working on an .ai file

This is the future we are madly burning money for.

may switch things up by having the dog drive this morning and i’ll hang my head out the window and howl

Please help my pal Sairah with her kitties! Signal boost and donate if possible!

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.
