Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.
I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

I am seeing in real time how ChatGPT makes people feel seen and understood and how people start to anthropomorphize it. It's so fucking frightening and fascinating and makes me so very afraid for the people who have fallen down the ChatGPT rabbit hole.

Hey am I imagining this or were there a bunch of queer indie authors who were really prolific in like 2015 who wrote like, the flagship queer books of the time, who have since vanished off the face of the queer writing planet?

somebody brought this up once in the context of Florida voters in 2000 and it fucked me up so much
just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.

recommendation thread! I would love links for places who sell really nice Hanukkah cards. (NOT generic winter / seasons greetings and NOT “Christmas iconography but make it blue.”) my preference is indie / small press / support artists directly. who has sites they like?

I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

A few folks have kindly pitched in for immediate needs. The goal now is $2345. That's rent and utilities, and Kid the Younger's instrument rental... upright bass, she loves it so much. I may have to before this is over but I can't stand to take that from her yet.

Alice was an incredible person who worked hard to widen the path to liberation so others could follow. May we be called to rise up in the wake of her passing; may she rest in power.

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...

It's time for a #FridayFling! For the prompt word "favor." This is from "A Rogue's Gambit" in my PREM NUMBERS collection. It's a blatant remix so, yes, I lampshaded it. Rohini's a beesh konna, with poisonous skin. Davide has perfect aim. Now, he's aiming to get her back.
