I was recently outside of the US and trying to figure out why I was doing so much better than usual at navigating a hilly city on foot while out and about all day, and recovering so quickly, and I realized: there were benches, big ones without hostile-architecture features, at regular intervals.

April 8, 2026 Story Hour: Effie Seiberg and J.R. Dawson read their Nebula-nominated stories! YouTube video by Story Hour

We need to congratulate a lot of people, but let's start with @effies.bsky.social and @jrdawson.bsky.social, who read their Nebula-nominated *and now Hugo-nominated stories* on Story Hour very recently! youtu.be/5T5WrJV2v40

So under these conditions, what do you expect young Jews to do? Give them a choice between religious Orthodoxy, wan outdated liberalism, or identification with an illiberal state committing atrocities, and of course some are going to find the Bund. We've failed them.

I heard about this recently in passing recently and it floored me. I genuinely had no idea.

don’t read any reviews, they will spoil the joy of Finding Out. just buy it and play it

Quiet Posters feed not working

why.bsky.team subscribed to the anti anti ai block list, blocking over 300 000 users

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

I’m still so damn proud of this show.

Fun behind-the-scenes fact:
Previously eliminated contestants would wait up in the hotel lobby to greet and commiserate with that night’s elimination.

Thank you so much to everyone who nominated "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything"! I'm honored and touched and am in an incredible company of nominees!

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

I love catching little flashes of trans life in Proust. Like, he writes that a lot of closeted gay men are married to very butch women, with whom they have the same sex they'd have with men. One guy discovers his boyfriend is having an affair with a lesbian who addresses him with she/her pronouns.

An underrated 21st century skill is knowing what level of digital friendship you should have with somebody. Getting that Instagram request and being able to say, "no, LinkedIn mutuals is right for us." Tough when you realize belatedly that you don't actually want to know what your gym trainer thinks

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

It's wild to me that not only is tumblr still alive & kicking, a lot of ancient comics on there are still circulating? Tonight Hsthete, my 7-year-old comic about getting your week ruined and your life saved by a hot goat lesbian, somehow just crossed 400,000 notes 😦 www.tumblr.com/melgillman/8...

A photo of a copy of Wine Ghost Goes to Hell by Sage Coffey. The cover depicts a hairy legged sheet ghost flying around a papercraft city with the title in handwritten cursive.

Wine Ghost Goes to Hell, my debut OGN, is available from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social ! Photos truly don't do justice to the vibrant print you'll see irl. I'm incredibly proud of how the book turned out & if you're lookin' to pick her up, she's just 10$! 🍷👻 store.ironcircus.com/collections/...

what more can be said

Even in places like San Francisco and New York, hospitals are ending care. Vulnerable kids - ones with public health insurance or nervous parents - are losing access. And once kids can’t access care, even temporarily, they experience permanent changes that cannot be reversed.

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement.

And just like that, the Ford government has reversed its plan to buy a private jet nicknamed the “gravy plane” by critics.

Except, the statement suggests the purchase has gone through and that now the government is trying to sell the plane on. #OnPoli
