“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
I keep reposting this bc industry discussions are clearly not at the level of toxicity they need to be at 😭🫠
This guy like "I've always wanted to be a marathoner, but I didn't want to run long distances. But now, with the help of this handy SUV, I'm crossing finish lines like there's no tomorrow! 😁"

Trans authors are writing some of the best SFF out there! For trans day of visibility, I grabbed a semi-random assortment of books by trans and nonbinary authors off my shelves. All of these I've either read & loved, my kids have read & loved, or are high on my TBR pile!
it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia
and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY
if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again
trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

"The Christian soldier is an oxymoron." We talked to Christopher Buehlman about the BETWEEN TWO FIRES reissue, writing redemption in a plague, and the empathy of an insult comic. A masterclass in medieval horror. 🧵👇 [Link]

I've done a lot of lobbying and a lot of activism. It seems stupid, it seems pointless, it seems ineffectual, but phone calls are one of the few things that legislative offices really pay attention to as a barometer for public opinion.
Call early and call often.
remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

They just want to make everything worse. They want us to die from diseases that could eradicated. They want dirty food and air and water. They want increased child mortality. They want a more unsafe, disgusting, hateful world. And the corporate press is like “but that’s a valid perspective tho?”
On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.
I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

My paternal grandparents passed through Ellis Island in the 1930s as poor non-English speaking Eastern European (not to mention Catholic) immigrants. I’m the result of their American dream, and Mamdani represents the best of us.
"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.
