Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.
Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.

Let’s go turn collective trauma into collective care
Let’s bring the action (of love of self and love of others)
Let’s go fuck shit up (by creating far-reaching systemic change that benefits the people who need it most)

Pfizer produces the Covid treatment Paxlovid for $13.
They’re charging $1390 for it.
Pfizer donated $5.7 million to members of Congress since Covid began to get government contracts and keep drug prices high.
Price gouging is legal because our campaign finance laws are broken.

Deactivated X a week or so ago. No social media since then. I’ve not missed it as much as I might’ve thought. I’ve not missed X at all. Glad to be here though. There’s a liberation in starting again.
