you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

Absolute fire.
"People think of the USA as a nation of immigrants and the land of opportunity, but the truth is, this country can’t afford to welcome all the migrants who want to live here. In fact, we barely have any money at all, because destroying the lives of immigrants is very expensive."

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

People sneer so much at this basic-ass shit sometimes and like, I get it, maybe to you it’s very basic, rudimentary, not illuminating. But I promise you there are people out there who need to hear it.
it has been since probably the early 2010s since i regularly heard people saying 101 level phrases like "the patriarchy hurts men too" and we should bring it back bc american culture has regressed so much since then that it's pretty pathetic tbh

Nothing says controlled opposition more than this man as a presidential nominee
i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Name an author or book that you think does romance in an SFF setting very well! Shoutout a Sci-Fi Romance, Romantasy, romantic fantasy author, or author whose work isn't any of those but who writes romantic relationships well!

Reed is rather isolated, but his love is for his fortune weaver conclave, who are all deceased. He is driven to resurrect them.
Daryifel loves her longterm girlfriend, but also is in love with a terrible sentient cave...or rather, is in love with the power and danger it represents.

In Devouring Fortune it really depends on what culture/group is being discussed. The priestem of the House of Devouring are allowed to have relationships with each other but they don't have marriage, as their main devotion is to the goals of the House. #SFFChat

#SFFChat Q1: How are romantic/sexual/marital relationships treated in your world?
E.g. How are relationships outside marriage treated? Does marriage exist and what does marriage mean in your world? If you write in a contemporary setting, what's your MC's approach to relationships?

Hello #SFFChat! I'm Ollie and I write SFF with a large heaping of yearning and body horror. I spent way too long thinking about what my favorite treat is (I have many), but I will settle on cherry crepes for being one of my absolute favorites. I like to make them homemade for special occasions.

On a related note, learn from what happened in Minnesota, Chicago, and Portland, but also think about what your special sauce is. I'm a Minnesotan incandescently proud of how we came together as neighbors, but my wife is a native Chicagoan and BOY HOWDY did they lean into being loud and obnoxious.
We learned from Chicago and Portland. Yall learn from them plus Minnesota. All you fascists bound to lose.
