It’s getting closer to holiday sales and shopping. Instead of spending money at a big box store or putting money in a billionaires pocket… shop small!!

If you have a small business or are a small time creator (that means artists and indie authors too!) share your links/work below.
This holiday season SHOP SMALL artists, indie authors, creator, and more

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

October means bird migration. It was a real pleasure to have the lapwing here in the Netherlands during the summer. Until next year!

What does it mean if you dream of being trapped in a car where the doors don’t shut all the way while you’re hiding from a mountain lion, a bobcat, and a lynx while don’t fear the reaper blasts. Feels like I was haunted by an emo ya novel about vampires.

Today’s bake is a mushroom and corn pizza with homemade tomato sauce and herbs from the garden. Bonus-we have a lace ghost now haunting our living room that keeps making me laugh.
Picture of a rectangular pizza on a wooden cutting board. It has tomato sauce, cheese, onion, mushrooms, and corn on top. Ghost made of a lace table cloth and an embroidery hoop hanging in front of a window.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

Monday night. 🌈🏮
White person with short brunette hair looks neutrally at the camera. They are sitting against a wooden fence wearing a striped button up and a tan jacket. The lighting makes everything look purple. A grey and white small dog sits looking at an empty rainbow lit back patio. Next to them is a small black and white dog in a backpack staring off.

In the top panel the chaotic queer cat digs into their rainbow bag and tells their corvid friend “it’s not safe to go alone.” The larger bottom panel zooms in on the corvid’s face, shining with awe, as the cat’s paw gives them a glowing dagger with rainbow facets along the handle. The hand guard is in trans and poc colors to make the full progress pride flag. “Take this.”
