Getting really excited for NaNoWriMo in a couple days! My story idea has gone from “set in the steam tunnels under a college campus” to “a quantum experiment goes wrong, tossing the scientists into a parallel universe” (still set in caverns beneath a college campus, though). @nano2.bsky.social

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Giving right wing pop culture shit take accounts spewing rage bait the time of day even to quote dunk them is playing into what they want. It literally makes them money through visibility. Block and move on. Don’t give them oxygen.

Remember to add alt text to your images!
A lot of big breaking news stories involve visuals, such as timelines of events, photos, memes, and screen shots. All of those images need alt text. Without alt text, screen reader users are left out.
Today, the big event that is image-heavy and all over social media is the #NoKings protests.

@nano2point0.bsky.social so excited, I finally have a project for NaNoWriMo! Previous attempts at multiple short pieces just weren’t enough to carry me through. Im writing an interactive fiction novel/game set in the steam tunnels of my college campus. Working on plot, map, & characters this month.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.
Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

Can the society encourage other key civil society entities to speak out? Hospitals? Patient groups? Resource users? Work together to show the concrete impacts of these dire and shortsighted actions.

The society is a more powerful voice than you alone. Are there impacts to your work, such as the NIH right now? The society should be hammering on the door of your Congressmembers and state governments.

This is such a lovely idea. I’ve never done one of these before, but if folk react then I’ll post stuff I love
This is a pleasing meme. I will talk about nice things and I'd love to hear about yours.
