without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

Why are news outlets saying that Israel is entering "first stages" of an assault on Gaza? They've been at that.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

I just finished Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson last night. Might re-read all of the Skyward series because if Starling's not the character who was once Spensa before she was moved, I'll be surprised. 🪐📚💙

All the punk/emo bands I adored as a teen are having fans complain about them getting political, which is hysterical to me cause like, have you missed their entire discography or...?

If you want to keep selling on Itch, I highly recommend changing your payment method to "Direct to you". This won't protect you from censorship but will keep Itch from seizing any money you have already legally earned.

I managed to get an ARC for the audio of The Seven Miracles of Beatrix Holland! Listened to it yesterday.

Small town, witchy Practical Magic + The Parent Trap vibes to the setup, though the tone is neither. It reads more like romance (and it is a sapphic one).

I enjoyed this. 4/5 stars.

Dear experts. chatGTP uses em dashes because it stole everything from writers, who also use them. FFS.

Happy 25th anniversary to this amazing game #FinalFantasyIX

I remember first playing this as a little kid right after I played and loved Final Fantasy VIII then I really knew I was all in on this series as a whole and I was going to continue playing every single entry that came after. ❤️🫶🏻

My debut scifi novel Of Monsters and Mainframes is coming out in June 2025. It's about computers dealing with a whole aisle of Halloween monsters and maybe falling in love in space. 🚀🧛🐺🦑🌈

Just finished Of Monsters and Mainframes by @barbaratruelove.bsky.social
I need several hundred short stories or fanfics that flesh out everything mentioned but not shown "on screen" in this. It was so much fun and I'll take another please. 5⭐

Just finished A Forgery of Fates (late, because I got the ARC...) The beauty and the beast storyline combined with the lore of her world was a lot of fun, but most of all I liked that it was a single volume, not split up and stretched out to fill a duology, as with some of her other works. 💙📚🪐
