Hey bluesky nerds! If you like sci fi written by trans women you'll love Blue Sky Nine (title unrelated to platform), a comedy about a future where Australia looks to the stars for new sources of coal and work for the dole placements. Follow for development news & please boost to find our audience!

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

"No one should have to make porn to pay rent." Correct, but the solution is supposed to be housing for all, not banning porn.

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Being a small boobed tall girl is ridiculous, I steal something out of my tiny wife's wardrobe and look incredible, I put on something fitted to my height/chest ratio and it may as well be a binder. Observe.

No wait I found the perfect description to make people understand what a nightmare this diagnosis is: have you ever done a group project? Wasn't it a special kind of hell? Can you imagine a doctor telling you that actually, every single day of your waking life is going to be a group project?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Been doing this more (disclosing to irl friends) and my wife hates it because every time someone asks what it's like I give the honest answer that it's an existential horror beyond all imagining and personally surpasses my "you know what you have to do" threshold, EVEN THOUGH I WON'T, BECAUSE WIFE 🙄
Went out to dinner to catch up with some friends and spent the whole night answering questions on what it's like to have DID, which was encapsulated perfectly by the part at the end where I asked "out of curiosity, when did I disclose to you that I have it? Because, uh, I don't remember doing that"

Friendly reminder to carefully navigate both your homophobia and misogyny when making jokes about the alleged Clinton-Trump photo!
Also please remember that Monica Lewinsky jokes make a punchline of workplace sexual harassment and her subsequent public humiliation

Me: is this dress pretty?
Wife: gorgeous! But I think that might work better as a top, on you.
Me: yeah...
Wife: like, that is incredibly short. You'd have to wear something with it.
Me: mmm.
Wife: Tess? You can't just wear that as a dress.
Me: uh huh.
Wife: say it back to me please.

Yes, both shows coincidentally open with an examination of the lethal violence of unilateral class warfare until a "reasonable person" becomes embroiled in a tech arms race following the discovery of an extraterrestrial life form and the theft of an advanced spaceship. But Blue Sky 9 is a *comedy!*
People who have read my Blue Sky 9 scripts keep telling me I should check out the Expanse, so I finally started watching it, and one episode in my question is: why do the Belters, the most advantageously positioned and morally justified faction, not simply bombard the inner planets with asteroids? 🤔
