There is no need to deny that your needs are complex, & you require very specific kinds of support. You are not less worthy because of your needs. The culture around us loves a good "fawn" response & will pressure you to feel ashamed, but I need you to remember the truth.

Be kind to yourself today as you do that thing you don't feel like doing, you don't feel competent to do, or you've been putting off so long you're embarrassed about it now. Imagine what I'd tell you if I was on your shoulder as you do the thing. Probably not "you suck."

A thing I think about more than ordinary, as a critic, is "What is art exactly?" My best definition is art is what people make to express feelings that can't be expressed literally--the ineffable I'm not sure even the best AI *can* conceive something that can't be expressed nonliterally? So, no art

positive reframing is such a nice tool when you think "I feel like I'm drowning and one or two hard emails away from the burnout knocking me out of commission" you can instead think "honestly I can't believe my nervous system is even functioning at all with all the nonstop horrors lately"

BREAKING NEWS: New cat species just dropped! 🧪 What is a tilcayo, exactly? Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

This. There are so, so many authors (and series) to support who aren't Rowling. Start with @rickriordan.bsky.social, if you want the easiest comp. Or consider picking up @dhonielle.bsky.social's magical series. Share your best recs below?

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

If we are to truly resist fascism, we must reject the idea that only the strong survive. We must categorically reject any notion that worth is determined by physical ability or socioeconomic status or what you produce under capitalism. We must build networks of community care.

The US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has ruled there is no constitutional right to clean #water. The UN has declared a human right to water, but that has no sway here. If there's no "constitutional" right, federal & state laws must provide that protection. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

But maybe in a more condensed form so the button doesn't have to be the size of a CD I just feel like the "NO A.I." buttons attract slopsuckers who immediately want to proselytize about it and that is not a conversation I am going to be able to have without someone getting severely mandibled

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Love yourself with such intensity (& in such concrete, behavioral ways) that your bullies & abusers would be mystified & appalled. Get cringe with it. Go all in. Show your "parts" & inner child how they should have been loved this whole time.

I would rather have pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep and elk and purple sage and four wing saltbrush than data centers and so far no one in tech has presented a compelling vision for how to have all of those things, they just seize more resources for the plagiarism engine.

A password alone is not enough to protect our digital accounts. So why rely on just one tool to protect our health? Vaccines are an important layer of protection, but they work best alongside high-quality masks, testing, staying home when sick, cleaner indoor air and reduced overcrowding. (...)

As everything seems to crater around us, I want to impress upon you that there is ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO. Billionaires and their politicians want us to believe that we are helpless. We are NOT. If something makes you mad, find out who's responsible and CALL THEM. Tell others to call.
