Mutual Aid Network NJ is organizing a free market for families impacted by detention & deportation. We need goods and funds. You can drop off donations in Jersey City at the Communipaw Library branch or donate $$$ via Venmo. Until we free them all.
I want to add my bit about how to vote for a poetry Hugo award because I love to read and write poems. Did you like it? Did it make you feel? You've identified good poetry. Vote for that. You can learn more about poetry if you want, but there are no requirements for reading or having an opinion.
Don’t forget to cast your vote for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Did you know that voting on the entire Hugo Awards ballot is NOT required? Do you know films and video games, but not novels? Do you love art and graphic stories, but haven't read the novellas?

I was so close to getting my first subcutaneous immunoglobulin treatment this week. The nurse who called to schedule admitted she took my requirements as a preference and therefore ignored them, so the only time she had available were the times I had already rejected.

This thread is so good. Poetry is fun. This is you way to discover that fun.
Kyle Aisteach@badwriter.bsky.social · 2w agoStep 1: Read the nominated works. Step 2: Ask yourself, "Did I like this poem?" Step 3: Rank the poems on the ballot in order of how much you liked them. That's it. You don't need any special magick or training. Which did YOU like best?
Spouse has a brand new SCI and will be using a wheelchair. I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user so mobility accessibility is here for him. Our biggest question is about kitchen accessibility. Do you have any tips for us, friends? #NEISVoid #SCI #SpinalCordInjury #Disability #Accessibility
*posting with a hand over my eyes* I got sick after the first match of Redemption and now I can't look at anything until I finish it. Write & Watch coming soon I hope. 🤼
Lately every time I try to watch wrestling it gets interrupted or delayed. There's always an important call or the food I ordered 2 hours ago from the place that's 15 minutes away isn't here yet.
I just saw a trailer for Lanterns and if they don't give me at least one Hard Travelin' Heroes ep somewhere down the line it is a waste of Hal Jordan *and* Kyle Chandler.

Let’s do it. The prompt is: the Don Callis Family have control of the car radio via the almighty aux! What type of music is each member playing? Comment your thoughts below. Or rs, idc. 🤼

It's Wednesday. I made a food. I got some cannabis. It is time. Both Darby and Kevin Knight attending Buddy Wayne's academy has made me realize what this feud needs: Shayna Wayne. And also Nick, I guess. 🤼♂️ #AEW

So you decided to come here and correct me because during a moment of great upset 20 days ago I wrote an extra four letters? Really? That was your point and purpose today, to shit on someone disabled and upset? Well, gosh, I am so glad you stopped by to humble me. Now fuck off. #CVID
Redacted 🇺🇸 MN@altskywarn.bsky.social · 4w ago👋 Cvid is an inborn error of immunity, a primary immunodeficiency disorder. Your bone marrow doesn't have the correct dna coding to make developed white blood cells (plasma) & antibodies properly. Autoimmune disorders can be comorbid with CVID, however they are not the same. primaryimmune.org
