I have been using my Bullet Journal since July. @dreamstatic.bsky.social has tried to get me to do so for years and it never stuck. but im grateful they kept suggesting it and that i am starting to really use it.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

if you go into the bathroom late at night to cry, you should probably still turn on the light. otherwise, you might have to deal with confusion and blood the next morning.

"Uncommon phrases" by "anarchist extremists"? Count in thousands of people from my friends list, then.

Published in 2022, even under Biden they were doing this shit. Look at this stuff again if you didn't pay attention. These ideas are threats to power.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
