It’s my birthday week and the ONLY thing I want (other than a haircut and Cheesecake Factory) is to get my back rent paid so I don’t have to keep living in fear. June and part of July have been taken care of, but now I’m behind on August. Every cent and share helps! ko-fi.com/A356F63/goal

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

A lot creative work is already being called porn. Book banners are calling books with queer people simply existing "porn" to get them pulled out of schools and libraries. We are in this together whether you like it or not. Solidarity is the only way to fight.

TBSkyen@tbskyen.com · 4w ago

Your work will be called "porn" the moment it is convenient to power to define it that way. Solidarity is our only useful option.

IT'S NEW BOOK TUESDAY let's have breakfast, make a reel, maybe write a newsletter???, and then just see what happens.

If you don't want to empower right-wing fascist authoritarians right now, you should call both Kathy Hochul and Tish James and tell them to suspend enforcement the SAFE act immediately Tish James ☎️: (800) 771-7755 Kathy Hochul ☎️: (518) 474-8390 bsky.app/profile/chim...

This means that it would be trivial for law enforcement to run queries to find the real-life identities of people who do things like post about ICE, or abortion, or Palestine, or being queer, or any other group they want to target.

Our friend Celeste's health is sadly trending in the wrong direction... can you help be a part of lifting her up during this challenging time?

Celeste Pewter@celestepewter.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Okay, all: a bit of a GFM update. I made a structured one-month plan with my doctor to try the public service job, but my health has actually gotten worse (sigh), so we're going to plan B. Would appreciate boosts, thank you. I genuinely wish it wasn't this expensive to be sick.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Indie writer friends, what do you use to lay out your manuscripts into book form, and is it something I, Bad At Tech And Not A Designer, could figure out? (This is for the one-off purposes of binding up a fanfic as a gift for a friend.)

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2mo ago

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

THE GREAT PUMPKIN PANCAKE PARTY is out in the world! This book is about food and family, and the traditions that help us become who we are. Thank you to everyone who has preordered, requested it from the library, shared it, reviewed it, or cheered it on. It means more than I can say.

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.
