On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.
I don't know how to tell people on Bluesky that yes, you actually *do* need Black people on board for all your political and social aims.
You literally can't go around us, cancel us, or ignore us. Every time y'all do, everyone suffers.
Watching this radical recidivism after serving 25 years in public health is soul-sapping. All that work, all that data, all that work disseminating information, and here we are.
it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.
Trans service members in the Air Force are being forced out with no retirement benefits. Utterly disgraceful way to treat people who have served our country for nearly 20 years. This does not make us safer.
transphobes can get fucked. i know i’m a woman because there is somehow like 40 minutes of shit i need to do before bed.
I just saw a kindergarten mom in tears on TikTok because her child’s classroom wasn’t filled with rugs and lamps and bins full of fun things...
It’s important to understand what a state-funded classroom looks like versus a teacher-funded classroom. Your beef is with the state, not the teacher.
Just an fyi we’re really not going to like what comes after “military control of the capital”
Since living here, I’ve lived in Trinidad, Edgewood, and now Congress Heights. People here are generally fine and friendly. They’re being targeted by the world’s most powerful government for being Black.
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
I love that, in the quilting community, there are whole guides for how to fix it if you accidentally create a swastika.
They could have shrugged their shoulders and said “we’re making patterns with rotational symmetry, swastikas happen sometimes”, but they choose the harder but more loving path.
More now than ever because too many mfers walking around saying "racism doesn't exist anymore"
Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”
Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”
There's a new biographical documentary on Toni Cade Bambara. I want everyone including me to find a way to watch it. I contributed to the only biographical book on her as editor & am in its acknowledgements. Toni Cade Bambara could be my clearest guiding light on the way I want to move as a writer.
The ruling class has to destroy social media and the Internet because these were starting to make up for the educational systems they already destroyed. The more people learn about the world, the less they’ll believe the lies justifying its present organization.
quando vcs se sentirem incapazes de passar num concurso, dão uma olhadinha nos comentários dos posts de concursos no linkedin. O povo (designers) não sabem baixar pdf, não sabem dar ctrl F pra procurar o que quer em um edital, não sabe LER um post
Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator:
I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.
I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)
Every #ttrpg player has a bucket list. Something they've always wanted to do, but never had the chance. So what happens if 5 experienced #dnd players got together JUST to help each other make those wishes come true?
WISH FULFILLMENT premieres Aug 11th at 6pm PT on youtube.com/@ThatsHowWeRoll_
"This is illegal now so I guess we can't do it anymore" is fucked up when "it" is lifesaving medical care.
"The feds are threatening to make us stop but haven't done anything beyond make threats so I guess we can't do it anymore" is just complying in advance, and that's way, WAY worse.
ppl complaining that folks don’t work on themselves instead of dating
I’m holding your hand right now:
You will NEVER be “healed”
Life is dynamic. You will always be on a journey. You will not ever reach the plateau “healed” state wherein you are worthy of love. Do it messy. You’re alive.
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Perfect.
For those keeping track, Marc Elias Derangement Syndrome is now a thing.
I have nothing in the world against porn, but it's worse than merely purity culture (although it is that). This is why women authors hide their identifiably female given names when publishing (e.g., N. K. Jemisin). People take obviously woman-authored books less seriously. This video doesn't help.
Reminder that we haven't actually seen any results yet.
Itch reindexing free NSFW content and Valve making a public statement are not results, they're distractions.
The *bare minimum results* is a retraction of the restrictions placed on Itch and Steam.
Important first-in-human report today for donor pancreatic islet beta-cell transplant to an individual w/Type 1 diabetes. With genome editing, there was no immune response induced or need for immunosuppression. Major implications for transplantation in general @nejm.org

Maybe she isn't a misogynist in some existential way, but the "women write frivolous books" line has a long and miserable history.
As someone with two serious women writers in the family, I might be a little too quick to jump on her for this, but she clearly didn't even try to find counterexamples.
