Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

The next person to tell me to "listen to my body" is going to get tied to a chair while I go over every issue I have to power through on a regular basis just to get through the fucking day. I don't want to listen to my body, that bitch can't say anything nice so it shouldn't say anything at all.

Happy birthday to writer Diane Duane, who has written Star Trek novels, comics, short fiction, games, and co-wrote the Next Gen episode "Where No One Has Gone Before." (That's just for starters.)

We can heal Nature. We just have to believe we can, and not listen to corporate bullshit that tells us we are mere commodity consumers.

Im constantly on the knife-edge of financial ruin but if yall ever want advice on medical bills, including how to make the hospital forgive your debt and pay you back anything you've put into payment plans dm me or w/e. I got mad debt erasure skillz or whatever the youths are saying these days.

I really love it when an artist I follow gets insanity levels of obsessed with [thing they like] and will not stop drawing it. It's so very charming. Go girl give us one billion drawings of that little freak in your head who I know nothing about. He's my blorbo in law now

FINALLY - dashare.zone ADMIN

It is that time once again on the standard Federation Calendar...

Feel like teasing pics but instead of feet or w/e it's just my garden. My potatoes are looking so sexy rn...

male socialization isn't about whether it's real or not. it's a way to threaten trans women into social compliance. it's gender policing. When someone tells you that you are acting like a man they are not actually telling you that you are acting like a man they are telling you to be more submissive

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

The Comstock Act is back! (guh) The right has been aching to resurrect the zombified laws prohibiting mailing of "obscene" or "immoral" materials (sex toys! contraceptives! LGTBQ+ books!) Glad this was only a dissent, but not thrilled to see it rear its head at SCOTUS.

BREAKING: the Supreme Court finally blocked a lower court's ban on telemedicine prescriptions of abortion drug mifepristone from taking effect, pending full hearing/ruling in Fifth Circuit. Dissents from Alito and Thomas, who claims that the dormant Comstock Act of 1873 bans mailing of mifepristone

we need to go back to treating ao3 as an archive for passion projects rather than a social media site for "content"

“What do LGBTQIA+ folk have to do with limiting access to adult content?” Did you know in Texas it is still technically illegal to own 6 or more sex toys because in the 70s they wanted to criminalize gay sex activities so it used dildos as a way to do that? It’s always been about coming after us.

Just the periodic reminder that if you're putting reptoids and funny lizard people conspiracy stuff in your writing, some history: the whole thing was an antisemitic dogwhistle created by David Icke so he could literally launder the Protocols for his audience, amongst more modern conspiracy slop.

yeah if you think this will stop at smut, erotica and porn, just ask many horror creators about it. They too are being hit by simmilar bullshit. and it will not stop there, because any content that is deemed problematic or unsafe for kids, or whatever fucking excuse they have, will have this shit.

Went from being like “this is stupid” to “as always, Karl Urban makes a good point”

and i myself have been harassed for depicting literal adults in fully consensual loving relationships which is still to this day the predominant Thing That I Like so if you’re sitting there thinking “well i won’t be affected because the Things That I Like are Right” yes you will. i promise you will

Critically: You must INTENTIONALLY REQUEST expedited processing by including a letter with your citizenship request explaining your situation, along with supporting documentation.

Oh, this is fantastic!

"We're not getting rid of 'spicy' content! We're just getting rid of the nasty gay anal sex and the weird trans bodies and the uncomfortable art that portrays any relationship that isn't marketably inoffensive and heteronormative because the child molesting executives who run the planet said so"

I love when people act so shocked that gay and trans people get upset when people are cavalier and dismissive about being on top of their own sexual health and treating it like a personal responsibility. I wonder if there’s any reason lgbt people might take it seriously. Surely nothing traumatic

You're Gen X. You can bring back one thing from the 80s. What is it?

heading to a con? please mask up as much as you can whenever you’re not in your room with the door closed. covid is not over, it’s not mild, and it’s not something that our current vaccinations/boosters entirely prevent the transmission of on their own, without other layers of protection.

like if you don’t care about yourself, fellow attendees, workers, and everyone you come into contact with during and after travel, do it for the actors and writers and artists you’re there to show appreciation for in the first place? 🙏🏻 they can’t keep making media for us if they get too disabled.

Also, check if local mutual aid groups have masks! Mask blocs, community centers, etc. And if you can't get a N95, even a less effective mask will still help! But dont go unmasked. You've got a right to fuck yourself up, but your "personal freedoms" end at the point public health begins.

I'm going to be pedantic and whiny about masking specifically, because I am 90% that a major viral infection in fall 2025 (possibly COVID?) damned me to a lifetime of autoimmune disease. You can even get KF94s/KN95s on the Bezos site. Put them on. A lifetime of pain and disability can be avoided.
