Wife: Would you care to explain why the bottle of whisky you bought yesterday is half empty?
Me : It’s because you’re a pessimist.

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.

The idea is me and my unfound cohost sit with a member of the space and they tell us about their favorite TTRPG performances and what makes them special with a likely cap of three to keep the length down then before we

A lot of people who look like me will have a lot to say about Alice in coming days and I stand by this: We take up too much space, something Alice and I talked about a lot. I'm focusing on letting Alice speak for herself, and uplifting those she asked to represent her.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

If you've ever doubted you're 'disabled enough', or struggled to advocate for yourself as a disabled person, or if you'd like to know more about ableism; this blog post is for you.
“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself.
She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”
If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up

Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

I have started responding to any complaints with “I have to google whether I can use the bathroom in a state before I travel, but sure that sounds hard too” when I’m annoyed.

2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

The 2 big pieces of advice I can give are A) talk to real trans people. Whether it's friends or someone you hire as a sensitivity reader/coach, it is important and B) know what isn't your story to tell. A cis person telling a featuring trans folks? Great! A cis person telling A Trans Story? Less so
