Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Stealing ebooks is never cool. Really need your books free?? Libraries, of course, and look for author ARC groups and sign up for NetGalley! Yes you'll be asked to review, but it's not theft AND the review will help the authors sales!!!
I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people

We white folks need to come right out and say, not just defund ICE, but ABOLISH ICE.
We should not have these jackbooted thugs abducting people off the streets and abusing them in illegal concentration camps.

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

It’s not mental illness to be anxious when people are fucking with your healthcare. It’s not wrong to be depressed when powerful people choose evil and suffering. Feeling things about a crisis does not mean you are broken, even if the crisis is perpetual!

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.
The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.
They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

I would give Mayfair a pass for now. Season 1 was all right, season 2 ripped all potential to shreds. It isn't the same vibe as IWTV. I'm excited for what Talamasca will add to the 'verse tho.
rewatched interview with a vampire season 2, which together with the first season I would easily call some of the best television ever made. absoute feast. and now the deadly question of whether I want to stay in that world badly enough to watch the other shows set in the universe

I think there can be some credit to this gripe. Oth, authors should get to break conventions. Like these two examples I *get*, but maybe in context they were worse?
weird reading gripe: I'm noticing an uptick in similes and metaphors that don't quite work. it'll be like "bitter as seawater" or "in constant motion, like a cockroach." like, I get the vibe the author is going for but on a mechanical level it doesn't make any sense.
