I preordered Light & Earth & Marrow by @jeanniemarschall.bsky.social a while ago and almost forgot about it, so what a lovely surprise when it arrived this week. Look at how cute the packaging is, and the beautiful bookmark! I can't wait to read it. 💙📚
I'm going to be taking a mini mental health break from BlueSky, see y'all in a few days, or weeks.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚
No one is disposable, including the canary ❤️🦜✊
Cliff PervoSCARY@pervocracy.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream
Fuck Newsom. Cis white libs I'm begging you, when you vote don't just pick people who shout things at MAGA on social media. Actions speak louder than words; most of the politicians who rise in popularity because of their wit haven't done a single thing to help the people they claim to serve.

every single thing about this off brand patrick bateman motherfucker sucks and fuck everybody who supports him or defends the concept of him running for president. this is the toxic slime from ferngully in a person suit, only not voiced by Tim Curry so nothing about it is cool.
Nick Field@nickfield.bsky.social · 3w agoThe State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...
“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

🦇 Dear trans people, It's hard right now and the things happening are scary, but you aren't alone. It's okay to take a moment to breathe and hold yourself and love yourself. It's okay to give yourself grace and to do nice things for yourself. We'll get through this. I love you. You are loved. 🫶🏽
Wore my Spidey dress to the office for the first time because I have zero fucks left to give about "professionalism".
Average cis person telling trans people they need to vote for anti trans Dem candidates.
The Volatile Mermaid@ohnoshetwitnt.bsky.social · 3w agoFrom the people who told you that straight white male privilege doesn’t exist…
White supremacy and patriarchy are the reason for this threat of AI. I know this is obvious to many of us, but it still needs to be spoken aloud.
@herwife.online & I are slowly organizing our books. So far we've got sections for graphic novels & comics, cookbooks, picture books, kid's/YA chapter books, & queer books. Next weekend we'll organize the rest by non-fiction (Dewey classification) and fiction. All ordered by author-last name. 📚💙

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.
saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)
YOU WILL NEVER GET AN ANTI-TRANS VOTER TO VOTE FOR A LESS TRANSPHOBIC PLATFORM. YOU CANNOT CHASE VOTES YOU'LL NEVER GET AT THE EXPENSE OF VOTES YOU CAN GET BY NOT PANDERING TO BIGOTS
a consultant memo has clearly gone out before the midterms. the dem party knows anti-trans rhetoric isn’t popular. but they are banking on winning the midterms because of how badly the republicans are doing. they want to use those wins as a way to shut down the fight for trans rights.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 3w agoAnother Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.
This is very much worth watching to the end.

Tonight I had my first volunteer tutoring shift. Elementary school is hard! But the kids are freaking awesome.
extremely impressed, though perplexed why i waited so long to transition. my egg hadn't cracked fully at 20 (that took 5 more years) but i knew i hated being a man. 20 y/o me wouldn't understand a lot of the trauma she'd carry at my age now, & lacked the experience to understand what love or

At the physical therapy office listening to an elderly person crying because they can't afford to come for care anymore and I fucking want to burn this world down.
"Enjoy the camps" is also something that's been said to me, as a disabled person. I've even been called a Useless Eater by liberals (and even leftists). Disabled people were the crack that opened the door to the Holocaust. They were rounded up and either sterilised or murdered. They used our...

Choir practice tonight was so good for my soul. I love singing and hanging out with such an amazing group of women. It's going to be a great season!
