I want people to know, even if I dislike something, even if I hate it, even if I wouldn’t be caught dead owning it, I still want folks to enjoy what they enjoy. Don’t let other people’s complaints rain on your parade. Unless they’re being mean to you directly. Then nuclear block they asses!

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Slava Ukraine! Heroyam Slava! 💙💛

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Soooo is anyone here going to the world fantasy con this year? It's in Brighton, UK, Oct. 30--Nov. 2. I'm seriously considering it, but I always have more fun at cons when I know someone.

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

After I reprimand Loki for barking at a dog walking by, he buffs until I tell him to knock that off too, and then he groans like I made him leave his bed or something equally unfair UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The other thing about the "too late" narrative? The US Government doesn't work at social media speeds. It just doesn't. We're three weeks into this administration and that is NOTHING in government time
