No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.

I leave my books, few torn letters. Words held back written on notes crumpled and thrown under our bed. Scattered, half-written poems born of #chaos which kept my soul peaceful and strong. We shall meet again in a place far beyond prejudice and wrong. ~rev #vss365

Lucky it was only a drill, but there were times like this and this was why they needed drills. Dylan had ordered several, at random moments, but, for some reason, this one descended into #chaos. And that was the point. Find the problems and fix them before they became real problems. #vss365

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

After the #chaos of the war, we were surprised to find one tree left standing amid the devastation. Hanging from its blackened bough was a single, enormous #fruit. None of us could identify it. Then, as we studied it, the pith split open and a plague of luminous spiders emerged. We ran. #vss365

New petition: "Require green rooves and solar panel shelters in all car parks" Deadline 4 February 2027, created by Carol De Storm #NewPetition

Of all the students, my magic was the most unreliable. Mostly it didn't work, which was so embarrassing. When it did deign to work, it #tended to stutter and crackle before bursting forth to incinerate a desk or blow out the classroom windows. I learned to dread those times most of all. #vss365

"I don't like it." "Artists are never happy with their #creations, always seeing the flaws." "Sure, but I've made a terrible mistake with this one." "It looks beautiful to me." "Well, I admit, the water and trees and most of the animals are nice. But I went too far when I invented humans." #vss365

Happy National Yaoi Day! 🥰 I have an MM contemporary romantasy set in modern day Chicago. A somewhat reclusive mage, a time traveler, and a race to stop raw magic from being released on the world. Wide: bit.ly/b2r-WWC Itchio: bit.ly/itchWWC

Every writer I know, and for my sins I know a lot of them, is absolutely 100% delighted for you to get their book out from your local library.

"Go on, give in to #temptation." "But He said -" "Never mind Him. Or Adam." "If I do that, I'll get the blame for everything that goes wrong for millennia." "That's not true, I promise." "Listen, you idiot, since we last spoke, I've invented acidic snake repellent. So clear off or else." #vss365

thinking about how ppl quit bosses but also the reverse- I know ppl who will not switch jobs because they love the person they report to so much plus in the current employment market a manager who won't throw you under the bus and stands up for you in the workplace is worth more than a salary hike

Sue wasn’t prepared for how strong the #temptation would be to keep all the puppies when she became a breeder. “Sue, you can’t manage 3 children, a husband & 7 dogs,” said Jen. Sue sighed. Jen was right. She’d have to let them go. She’d miss them. The kids especially. #vss365

Welcome to the Garden of Eden, birthplace of our epic human story. They say forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. Haven't we all been drawn to something - or some𝑜𝑛𝑒 - off limits? Your #vss365 #prompt for August 1, 2026 is #temptation Do with it what you must! 😉

In a world that never stops accelerating, the rarest courage is pressing the #brake. Only by slowing the machine can you finally take a break - not as escape, but as return. Rest is not the absence of motion. It is the presence of meaning. #vss365 💙

Some Queer Short SFF - June 2026 | Charles Payseur

Hi all! I’m still a mess in general but the show continues, this month with works from June—and there are quite a few, thanks in large part

He wasn't imagining the wavy line. "I can see the #coast!" he cried, trying to imagine being warm again. "And you want to be dropped off there?" a voice rumbled above him. "Yes, please. As soon as possible." "Very well. Goodbye." "But we're thousands of feet -" The dragon opened its claws. #vss365

In cycling and in life, physics works for us and against us each and every day. We take the benefits of and sometimes work against its forces. We are approaching the end of the ride so let’s just take it easy on this downhill. The #vss365 #prompt for July 29, 2026 is #coast.

Guys, I got a book club email that I actually think is real. It may be we are truly approaching the singularity. It may be that I've just lost my mind

#vss365 Feel the air As it gets hotter Ever lower We #descend Tho it’s nothing Like your anger Which has left me Feeling singed Know you blame My cheapskate nature For the hellscape Where we’re stuck But this rollercoaster RIDE-2-HELL Was too cheap To pass up! 🔥🎢 -dj

Our basement has a basement. A small hole, dug into the rock behind the furnace, covered by boards. Steps. My phone is our only light. We #descend quietly then stop suddenly. Noises ahead. Rushing towards us. It’s us. “Turn back,” the other me says, panting. “We’ll explain later.” #vss365

It was said that all the ruling families were #descended from mythical creatures. The current dynasty was the graceful Unicorns. The second most powerful house in the realm was the ferocious Griffins. And us? Well, apparently back in the mists of time, there used to be giant Dung Beetles. #vss365

Her hand shook on the rail. In a few moments, she’d reach the #summit of her career. The announcer read the bio she’d prepared. And then, he went off script. “I’m so happy to introduce Jane, who, as a woman…” She raced up the stairs. “What is that ‘as a woman’ crap. The best. Period.” #vss365

#vss365 The pilgrims climbed for seven days to reach the #summit, each carrying a prayer for the god above. They found no temple. Only a mouth in the mountain. It opened. And thanked them for coming. #DarkFantasy #Edvane

Well, I say, watching my protagonist pilot an enormous tanker full of mechanical octopuses down a river while having fever dream flashbacks, I guess this is one of those books where I write to discover what happens next.

Whether it be Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed, the way the establishment nonchalantly kicks into high key screeching Islamophobia whenever a Muslim person runs for public office should be all you need to know about them.

Dylan knew his history. Humans tended to think of themselves as the #summit of life. The inevitable epitome of evolution. A conceit challenged from the moment they reached out to the stars. But were The Enemy superior, or equally small in the vastness of the stars? He couldn’t say for sure. #vss365
