This is not about protection; it is a targeted attempt to erase our families.

Great hike yesterday! We spotted all kinds of cool flora, fauna and fungi. Also, this.

Parry Hotter and the Six-Figure Book Deal "Pull to publish" adult fantasy based on Dramione fanfic is funneling money to one of the world's most notorious transphobes.

Really glad @sesmith.lol wrote this about the new dependence of the book publishing world on "pull-to-publish" Harry Potter fanfic, and the larger issues of banking on toxic IP:

All the pine trees around the Fausthaus are Horny on Main right now and everything is covered in Man-Tree spunk.

Actually I'm not done.

Many people who shy away from discomfort in fiction are the ones who most need to learn to sit with it. The ones who call their friends sharing their troubles "trauma dumping" or distance themselves when a family member is sad or lash out when their biases are confronted.

Some interesting stuff going on in Bone Temple, but I'm not a theater kid and I'm never going to be a fan of sitting through a whole ass musical number in a the middle of a flick. A+ upside-down crucifixion though.

“I wanted it to be the best ‘Lip Sync for Your Life’ that had ever happened,” the director Nia DaCosta said in a video interview, referring to the challenge from the reality competition show RuPaul’s Drag Race.

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump tt A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?
