It's that time when I remind you that you should give blood if you can! There are lots of valid reasons why you might not be able to, but if you can you will save lives. This was donation 34 for me I think.

That thing where you think 'oh my hands are much less painful today! That's exciting!' and then remember that's probably because you took Naproxen and slathered them in diclofenac this morning #hypermobile
"Noooooooo they be stealing my sweet potato......" This was top quality internet back when things were slightly less fucked up.
Big changes! It sounds both terrifying and fun! I hope it's more of the fun for you <3
It's unclear if the branch of the WI I founded in 2012 with some friends will close because of this, but they are considering it (I haven't been a member for a while). I'm very sad and angry NFWI has decided to exclude trans women. Awful stuff.
What a profound failure. Less than 0.5% of Tavistock’s actual service users complained. None of that mattered to the online rightwing mediasphere encouraged by this country’s billionaire-owned media.
Kids being punished for the failures of adults.
People: everything is still awful in Minneapolis. Nothing has changed, even though attention has moved elsewhere. There are plenty of ways to donate if you have the means. I guess if you're in the US you could call your representatives? #FuckIce
Oh no. I hope you get the care you need swiftly and recover soon!
We are going live very soon over at www.twitch.tv/silkyraven with this week's show! How are you finding the pre-patch? Come hang out for some chill Sunday vibes!
The courage of protesters and observers in Minneapolis is inspiring, humbling, deeply moving
A full cup of black coffee in a mug with a blue bird on it, with a cafeterie in the background.
So I'm not suggesting this week is stressful or anything, but I'm drinking coffee in the afternoon. Snazzy mug tho @blizzardwatch.com
Is WoW Housing your thing? Head over to the Warcraft Twitch Stream at twitch.tv/warcraft at 19.00 UK tomorrow (Thursday) for Homebound, a community housng competition that we're part of! Come cheer on our two designers and see what amazing things other people have been up to! We'll see you there!
Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?
Thoughts also with Venezuela and Greenland and everyone in the US who is a bit lefty, a bit not-white, a bit queer, a bit trans or different in some other way that isn't desired by those in charge. Feeling pretty despondent about it all this morning.
Well 2026 certainly continuing to deliver on the darkest timeline. Thoughts with everyone in Minneapolis this morning. I hope my friends there are safe, although I struggle to see how anyone can be safe against an Administration that literally does not give a shit about anything but its own bile.
No spoilers, but I really enjoyed the Stranger Things finale. It's been good fun and I will forgive it a little over-wrought emotion at the end.
A sunset over terraced housing and a street with cars parked along it.
The sun has set on the final day of 2025 and it's been an intensely challenging year in both good and bad ways! Here's hoping 2026 is a little gentler to all of us.
I'm sorry Joe. This is the worst timeline for sure. Take care of you <3
This week's show is UP! You can check out our thoughts about the transmog debacle, and why it's probably ok really, over at pod.co/girls-gone-w...
Sunday: your challenge is to be less stressful than yesterday. This should be a pretty low bar so I implore you not to fuck it up. If we could skip the bit where I needed to call the vet in the middle of the day that would be a good start. (Everyone is fine now! It wasn't my pony that needed it)
Nothing says getting into the festive spirit like going online to shout at some biscuits
Nothing says 'welcome to Friday' like a Cloudflare outage when your really need your website to be working. I think more coffee is called for (they have fixed it now)

I was idly wondering how the Your Party conference was going. Gonna go with "badly".
How's the pace of new content for you right now? Are you feeling overwhelmed or just excited for housing? Check out our thoughts on this weeks' show over at pod.co/girls-gone-w...
She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.
