just putting this out there……..

So the stained glass community skews old and religious for obvious reasons, so a lot of the FB groups for hobbyists are fairly conservative. But there is one group in particular that is explicitly inclusive so I posted these there, and this lovely exchange ensued

YOU KNOW EHAT TO DO…

I can’t believe it’s already been one year since my book Gender/Fucking came out! It’s a collection of essays mixing erotica and theory to explore the messiness of human experience from my standpoint as a transfeminine writer. It was named Outstanding Memoir by @thetransfemininereview.com.

This was just 233 days ago:

How can it not be obvious to EVERYONE by now that The Tangerine Tyrant is merely a press conference puppet where they just feed him stuff to sign and stroke his ego. People are giving him too much credit for having any intellect.

It's been a while, so here's an introduction post. I'm Kieron Gillen, I'm a writer, and my main creative projects right now are The Power Fantasy with Caspar Wijngaard, an unannounced book with Stephanie Hans and trying to find a new way to make my daughter brush her teeth every night.

A lovely review of Possible Worlds and Other Stories! Thanks, @jeppsson.bsky.social!

Cultural contribution and international recognition shouldn't outweigh or bury someone's behaviour towards women, and it's frustrating to see it happen again and again.

My mum is learning German for my daughter's sake, which is so sweet, but also you didn't want to learn Irish after sending your kids to a gaelscoil and being unable to help them with their homework no? Was it for this etc.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

"Mortal Engines" collects most of Stanislaw Lem's 'Fables for Robots,' along with three other robot stories from other points in his career. My favorites were "The Three Electroknights," "Uranium Earpieces," and "The Tale of King Gnuff." 💙📚🪐 #bookreview

Visual artists I am BEGGING you to use alt text when talking about your work. Just saw an interesting thing about a politicized quilt being censored that I won't repost or link because there's no alt text in the post OR the blog post about the situation.
