Pro writers: I heartily encourage you to seek the best fanfiction for excellent examples of erotic prose. Some of us know what we're doing.
Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

One useful action you can take next week.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

Thank you for your work, @sigridellis.bsky.social. You and your community were heroic today. And what you say is true: we need to know what we're willing to do and be prepared to do it.
Well, I'm very proud to say I chased ICE for four blocks, and got hit by a car! ( Nudged, nudged by a car. I am perfectly fine.) My throat hurts from screaming GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR TOWN!
There was mob here in St. Paul of 100 people screaming at them, filming them, and chasing them down.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

Thank you, Senator, for saying this out loud. It's especially important to hear from Members of Congress who understand the urgency of the situation.
I know this sounds extreme. It is.
I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.
Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.
But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

Health officials under JB Pritzker, who is showing how to take on Trump, are moving forward. They're exploring buying vaccines in bulk themselves.

Republicans have given up on governing for the American people and are all-in on serving their wealthy masters. That’s why we’re focused on training one million Americans — this is how we move forward as a movement in the face of Trump’s GOP that does not care about rules, laws, or the courts.
