Hi. I used to write books with someone I loved very much. I'm trying to write books again. And a social media account is still considered important when doing that.

Hands of the Emperor. Kip's out here inventing fantasy Universal Basic Income, and it's adorable, as is all the loyalty stuff.
haven't asked in awhile. what's something you read lately that you loved? A book? An article? A poem? A message written across the sky composed entirely of crows?
for every hate read post you do you gotta share 5 things you liked at least bsky.app/profile/crai...

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.
And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

The best part of having POTS and needing extra salt to stabilize your blood pressure is when someone starts selling counterfeit electrolytes that have no salt in them at all!
If you have POTS, double check the site you’re buying from, especially on mobile.
