Trans youth watching Democrats turn anti-trans to court unobtainable votes will never forgive Democrats. How do I know? Because I've never forgiven Democrats for the same anti-gay playbook they ran for unobtainable votes when I was a queer youth in the 1990s.

You have to be familiar enough with the genre you're writing that you don't just show up all "heh, bet you slop-eaters have never seen anything like this: [unoriginal work derivative of the most mainstream entries in the genre]" and you also have to bring in ideas from outside the genre.

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

Evangelical women are why I will never accept the Victorian claptrap that women are softer and gentler and less prone to violence, the better and wiser sex. Nobody commits to hate like someone who knows their only avenue to express power is over children.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Early voting has likely started where you live. Get out there as early as possible and bring a friend!

I love sex workers and I love furries and I love trans people and I love nsfw creators and all the people that first came to bluesky and made this site into what it is. The same people the devs of this site actively hate and keep trying to get rid of. May they never be swept away. Give them hell.

RIP. When I toured the Northwest Rooms (now KEXP/Vera Project) for the first @geekgirlcon.bsky.social location, we spotted Tom Skerritt there doing a table read.

Have a small, self-hosted WordPress site & need to update the PHP, but not super tech-y? What I did: 1. Log in to WP. Make sure WP & plug-ins are updated. If not, update. 2. Log in to web host. They should have an alert & help doc. In mine: a simple select PHP version & update button. Done!

My @nohateinwastate.bsky.social yard sign finally showed up! I put it outside immediately as voting has already started. Ordered in July, lost by USPS from TX to WA, in Federal Way transfer station in Aug, sent to GA mail reclaimation center, and repackaged and mailed back GA to WA in Oct.

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I worked on the upper floors of this building in the early 2010s, and the insides left much to be desired.
