Since it's a big weekend for consumerism, I just want to put out there that buying an indie author's book in any format is "shopping small" no matter where you choose to buy it from.

Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

My god she sucks. How many trans people read HP fervently and with wild delight under the covers as children. How can she have such disrespect, such contempt and outright hatred for the young adults whose imaginations she nurtured and fed? It's unacceptable.
You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

i once heard a queer kid explain that one of the things that brings them the most relief and comfort is seeing a tattered pride flag with faded colors - because that's a sign of a place where a pride flag can soak in the sun and breeze for years and years.
I was scared to first put up a queer pride flag (red state resident) but the biggest surprise was how much more often people stopped by my house asking for help: stuck motorists, unhoused neighbors, etc.
Some told me outright that the flag made them guess that I cared about them and that's correct

With all of the anti-drag, transphobic, queerphobic nonsense about lately, I wanted to install a flag that demonstrates queer pride, so here it is. Trans and proud. Queer and proud.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
