Categorical resentment for other queer people is destructive to solidarity, your own happiness, and is a consistent motivator for reactionary politics among queer people. We should never encourage it in each other and I think that should be part of the Pride message.

Lauden hates Nymeia with the fire of a thousand suns, and doesn't care much for the rest of the Twelve. She views Hydaelyn as a boss figure more than anything else. Jacinthe's relationship with Hydaelyn/Venat is explored in depth in the story 'Mother.' archiveofourown.org/works/585991...

FORBS!

Nice that @lvmpd.com is here on Bluesky. Would be nice if they explained why their officers are cool with violating First Amendment rights of the people they're supposed to be protecting. Anyone who flips out at "honor your oath bitch" is too unstable to be a cop.

I failed to give En Esch driving directions.

I accidentally briefly hit on Leslie Stahl in 1989. Long story.

Just got my print in, it's been here a bit, I'm slow at mail. It's even prettier in person! Check out the link(s)!

We're living under fascism. ORGANIZE YOUR OWN THINGS IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT'S ON OFFER. Jesus Christ.

"you cannot build a political movement with people who are looking for a social club" should be a far more widely understood concept

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

PSA for everyone going to protests

life is already difficult as it is, you'll find no shortage of hardships and struggles that will just happen and are out of your hands. so when you do have the choice, it's okay to choose the easier option. go where you're welcome, do what brings you happiness.

the people obsessed with "ideological diversity" in online spaces are the same people who experience none in their daily lives

Everything is a lot these days and I know I’m very lucky to live in a place in a situation that is relatively calm right now. So how about you come kayak along Lake Winnipeg with me? Hopefully it brings a little peace to your day. 1/ 🌿

The colors and textures of Iceland.

Art by Wren McDonald.

I think OC artists who sell prints at cons should all commit to one size (like idk 4x6) prints so we can all make photo albums of "artist's little guys I like" Or like imagine if we all made polaroids. I just think it would be cute lmao

i was born in a tube in the 1980s for a nuclear war and got a degree in nuclear war and now everyone tells me it's 'never gonna happen' and its 'evil', fuck off

Bottom 50% in China now have more average personal wealth than the bottom 50% in the US

A Day at the Lake

I wrote something that keeps making me cry. And it made @rajelaran.cyberelf.space cry. I think that's a... good thing? It turns out I can write more than smut. 🤔

"diversity of thought" in this context always means "more center-right corporatism," as if that isn't already (overwhelmingly) dominant across the entirety of old and new media

Your local librarian will help you :)

there's a small but substantial and really well informed natsec niche of this site but 80% of them dont use their real name so it's like "Dr Jennifer Butthole" with a Heathers-era Winona Ryder avatar doling out the most erudite insights about Iranian military leadership and foreign entanglements

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

every full time artist you know either: - has family money/a well earning partner OR - a second or even third job OR - is very poor Sometimes a combination! For the record I'm earning partner and poor

After the assault on Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Senate Democrats should vote no on the GENIUS Act to signal that they will not collaborate with an administration that continues to deploy thuggish tactics. From @ddayen.bsky.social

LET MONSTER WOMEN BE WOMEN AS WELL AS MONSTERS This sort of thing is why I wrote the protagonist ofJaw Sparring - a T4T were-sex story still searching for a home - the way I did

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, the leading progressive candidates in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, will cross-endorse each other, creating a late-stage partnership designed to help one of them surpass Andrew Cuomo in ranked-choice balloting. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/n...

Write for your worst reader. But to upset them.

"THE WITCH IS MISOGYNIST", "NOSFERATU IS MISOGYNIST" bro maybe you just can't read, but for movies

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

"Kill the cop in your head." No, that's where I keep my imaginary Columbo who whenever I am upset that some rich asshole is escaping comeuppance I think about him going "Just one more thing and I'll get outta your hair." *Sigh* My imagination is the one place where good cops exist.

Still amused that my very first reaction to LLMs, that it is spiritualist tech in the same channel as automatic writing and ouija boards, is increasingly the expert opinion of how humans make sense of and use these things

Everyone always talks ABOUT trans kids, but they never talk TO trans kids I interviewed Trans Kids Deserve Better. These kids are so brave. Check it out! youtu.be/lQ-C4WqBf30
