Please support my wonderful friend if you can, who is doing an incredible amazing thing because he's just that good a person
LGBTQIA+ young people need safe spaces now more than ever. I'm running the Athens Marathon to support Freedom Youth, which has been supporting queer young people since 1995.

If you can donate, even a few quid can make a world of difference:

DON'T USE STICKER MULE!!!

I use StickerApp and they're great! Drop other less-fascist-friendly-company alternatives below!
If you only read one story this year about a sticker-company CEO throwing a rally complete with two orange Cybertrucks to accuse a state party leader of threatening to kill him and then handing out T-shirts printed with that allegation, make it this Lucy Hodgman banger.
StickerMule CEO alleges death threat from party leader
Anthony Constantino says state Conservative Chairman Gerard Kassar told him “We are going to kill you” during a conversation about his NY-21 bid.

It’s wild to have been in the writer community on the frontline against AI and then work so hard to become a therapist and watch ostensibly intelligent people feed themselves to the machine.

Leonardo DiCaprio is really upping his acting game for the new movie “One Battle After Another”

He’s going to act like he’s attracted to a 34 year old woman.

EVERYBODY should be screaming about this. Access to this data affects individuals, companies, states, counties, and cities.

People don't really get how complex and intertwined with everything the IRS is.

If these fuckers screw anything up I don't think they'd ever recover from it.
BREAKING WAPO:

Elon Musk's DOGE is seeking access to a heavily-guarded IRS system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country — sparking alarm within the tax agency. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I started my journalistic career at WWAC and it changed my life forever. I've been honored to keep writing, editing, and helping out there when I can. I'm excited and supportive of us trying to find a more sustainable space to exist in.

Normally I get approached to draw crazy weird comics, which I love doing, but in 2018 I got to draw a grounded story for @awaveblueworld.com s Ringo nominated anthology All We Ever Wanted about learning how to trust again & rebuilding after a collapse, with a great script by @lelagwenn.bsky.social

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.

Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.
