All of the ballot initiatives that are solely targeting trans rights are passing. MO’s anti-trans Amendment 3 is failing because it’s tied to abortion rights. But WA I-638, AZ Prop 318, CO Prop 134 & 135, and NE I-422 are all passing. And cis Democrats are taking a victory lap with pronoun jokes.

HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

Wrote 2 of Amelia's solo album songs between work things 👀 Can't do music to save my life but over here writing albums. I've got my big block of WIP time coming up too, final work push, let's get 'er done. Scenes list first priority to determine gaps. #WIP

Cedar Ridge: Mixtapes is the universe, but Mixtape #1 follows a woman smacked in the face with bi panic when she discovers her hot drummer bff is secretly pining for her, and said bff confused and desperate when the love of her life seems to start actually flirting with her 🏳️‍🌈🎶💖 #Novmemeber #WIP

#Novmemeber 2 Optional: give us the logline or context of the WIP you'll be memeing about this month. Now, using a GIF, show us the vibes of your WIP! (Remember to use alt text)

2. With a GIF: the vibes of your WIP

A prompt game for the month of November, titled #Novmemeber (as in meme). Hosted by @sagetgreene.bsky.social . The bottom says "Have fun, interact, and remember alt text!" There is a silly emoji face with wild eyes and tongue sticking out, and some fall-style leaves in the corners.

Focus on Mixtape #1! Put together a list of 'missing scenes,' rewrites on some existing, rewrite/expand on the first flashback chapter, rewrite specific 'falling' lore fic + write matching fic for other MC/love interest. And fresh side fics doc clean-up ✍️ #QueerWriters #WIP #FirstDraftFall #WriteSky

I wrote an established relationship one-shot of Aria doing the "I saw our friend on Tinder" prank to Kori, and it's one of my fave silly argument->spicy time I've written. Also, Amelia and Kate started out riling each other up, it stays their thing for sure. #WIP #WriteSky #nsfwocdaily #ocsky

💙🩷🤍 Amelia, the band's lead singer, is trans mtf! She's more in Mixtape #2, as an MC/love interest. She's easily mom/older sister vibes to the rest of the band, esp Jo, who's much younger. Daryl's sister and Kori's older brother are also trans, tho they don't pop up in the main mixtapes (yet 👀).

Set up Ellipsus and considering putting up a bunch of my WIP's lore fics and AU shorts (like the Oct spooky one-shots) with reader links to share. Might try to complete my WIP reference guide more, w/ character art, first but I don't think I've ever felt so eager to share my writing. #WIP #WriteSky

do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all

Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · last wk.

If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

It's interesting that AO3 is down for such a lengthy stretch during what's arguably the most consumption-oriented/extractive era in fanfic's history. People dumping thousands of fics on gdrive are being hailed as heroes, drowning out fic writers saying, I didn't consent to be *republished* there.

Just when I thought Etsy was turning a corner by trimming AI content on the site, they issue a new Terms of Use (starting Dec 16) which grants them & their vendors rights "to use Your Content to develop, train, test and improve AI." Could not find an opt out to this in their privacy settings.

An email from Etsy. The clipped part reads:
"What's new
Every day, we work to make our platform the best it can be, which includes regularly revisiting our terms and policies (also known as our House Rules) to make sure they meet the needs of our growing community and allow us to continue to support you. Today, we're sharing a few updates that go into effect on December 16, 2026."The new terms and conditions from Etsy, section 5c:
"C. Rights You Grant Etsy. (Here’s the legalese version of the last section). By posting Your Content, you grant Etsy and, as authorized by Etsy in its sole discretion, third parties, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works from Your Content. This allows us to provide the Services and to promote Etsy, your Etsy shop, other shops and listings, or the Services in general, in any formats and through any channels, including across any Etsy Services, our partners, or third-party website or advertising medium. You agree not to assert any moral rights or rights of publicity against us for using Your Content. You also recognize our legitimate interest in using it, in accordance with the scope of this license, to the extent Your Content contains any personal information."

This part is hilighted by the OP: "This also includes the right for us and our third party partners and vendors to use Your Content to develop, train, test and improve artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, including to improve the Services and/or help keep them safe, subject to any applicable opt-out rights described in our Privacy Policy."

"That sounds like a lot, but it’s necessary for us to keep Etsy going. Consider these examples: if you upload a photo or video of a listing on your Etsy shop, we have permission to display it to buyers, and we can resize or enhance it so it looks good to a buyer using our mobile app; if you post a description in English, we can translate it into French so a buyer in Paris can learn the story behind your item; and if you post a beautiful photo or video of your latest handmade necklace, we can feature it– often along with your shop name and shop picture– on our homepage, in one of our blogs or even on a billboard to help promote your business and Etsy’s."
