You know things are bad when your doctor is shocked you're still taking your cancer meds because the hospital hasn't had any in months. Then the light dawns. "Are you buying it?" Why, yes. It's not like I have a choice. I'd like to continue my treatment. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

It's been quite a couple weeks. My levels are elevated again. I've been back & forth to clinic & my doctors getting treated & tested, & conferring with them. This is not cheap, & I have more to do. If you could help out with anything, I'd be grateful. Thanks. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

I had a blast chatting with folks about my 🐚🪶🛶Taínofuturism book SORDIDEZ & how science fiction storytelling can blueprint better futures for Puerto Ricans. 🇵🇷👊🏼 My hero Vero Díaz is a transmasc reporter turned indigenous revolutionary in a near-future Borikén dealing with climate change. #booksky

Demon Run #1 and 2 are both available for preorder now at youngillustrations.com !! Each issue is $10, filled with 32 pages of action, fun, humor, and demons. I had an amazing time making this comic, and I couldn't be prouder of the story I've crafted. I hope you'll join in 😊

Authors Against Book Bans@authorsabb.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Let's head into the weekend with some good news out of Wyoming! Legislatures around the country are learning that book bans are losing policy

Wyoming lawmakers' proposal to ban 'explicit' books from libraries falters as clock runs out

The Legislature was advancing a bill that backers saw as a common sense way to keep "sexually explicit" books out of kids hands. Critics saw it as a book ban, and Teton County librarians have lined up...

I wrote about raising daughters in the ICE age WHILE in treatment for triple negative breast cancer. Scroll down to read the short piece. bsky.app/profile/pock...

The achingest part of myself wails that 8 isn't old enough to know that ICE kidnaps people+kills witnesses. But some of those kidnapped people are younger than my daughter. Those witnesses were doing some of the same work her mother does. ICE is in our city. www.pocketobservatory.org/raising-daug...

Talking to my father about current events and really I don't know how my mother stayed married to this man for so long. She could run intellectual and moral circles around this man. But oh wait, internalized misogyny and the audacity of men. Also gaslighting.

- you could also say linen is "underwater spun", because the long fibers need to be wet while you turn them into thread - it's cheaper for machines to chop the linen into tiny pieces and spin it dry, like cotton - "cotton spun linen" sucks, and is the reason cheap linen pants disintegrate so fast
