Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Yeah, once again, disabled workers, parents and caregivers who rely on work from home would appreciate it if everyone from bosses to politicians to rando pundits online would stop blaming wfh for everything from cratering morale to the death of entire cities.
Just a small note, really.

if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Nobody should be shamed for speaking their native tongues, and everyone who tries to learn another language should be commended.

if english is your second language, please don't apologize if you can't speak it perfectly. it's a garbage language with inconsistent rules that make no sense and honestly it's a fucking miracle any of us can speak it at all. you're doing amazing, sweetie.

Nonbinary characters of all types! Masc presenting, fem presenting, androgynous, etc. You’ll always find enbies of all shapes and sizes in my books.
You’ll also usually find a lot of silliness within my characters, even during their darkest moments. Because sometimes you gotta laugh or you’ll cry.

“If you don’t believe that the picture book is real literature, then in some level you don’t believe that children are real people. And that’s unacceptable.” Thank you, Mac Barnett. #ala25.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.
