Anyway, it was boring.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The good news? Stories don't go bad. Find a back issue, and I know you'll find something in there to enjoy. 5/5

I'm proud of the whole team. Lots of changes over the years, and what started in Edmonton became a cross country event (editors, editors, everywhere!).

Not really sure how to encompass something that has been around nearly my entire life. 4/

I've lots of great memories of conventions, panels, meeting authors, reading amazing stories - the list goes on. I always joked that my mom knows *everybody*. But with 35 years of On Spec, plus being in the sci-fi/writing community before that?

Yeah, she knows everybody. 3/

A *lot* of people are sharing this and mentioning On Spec published their first story, which I think it a beautiful statement on how important On Spec is. I remember even when a story was rejected, they gave advice and encouragement. 2/

I grew up with On Spec. The magazine is only 6 years younger than me, and my mom was always on the editing team(a majority of the time the Managing Editor). I even did my time in the Spec mines, doing admin work because nepotism can be fun. 1/

With our new issue, we are making the sad announcement that this will be the final year for On Spec. See www.onspec.ca for details.

The girlfriend of antifa goes to another high school. In Canada. You wouldn't know her, but she's totally real. And hot.

jeff com-BOO-ters @helldude.bsky.social · 1d

it's kind of wild that a guy died a little while ago and the government swore we would reap the whirlwind and that his widow would lead a howling army of valkyries across the galaxy and then the most you heard about it since was the secretary of domestic war saying they arrested the wife of antifa

A thread about the many dimensions of a large soppy ginger cat who wandered into our house one evening in December 2022 from a draughty Cornish barn where he was living, and never left.

I don't like to brag but I do think our cat Jim is probably better at stretching than virtually any other cat in Britain.

“MY WIFE IS A MAMA BEAR WITH A HUSBAND (WHO IS ME) AND SHE MIGHT BE A LITTLE CRAZY BUT SO AM I AND IF SHE EATS YOU THEY WILL NEVER FIND YOUR BONES I LOVE THAT B-WORD AND GOD IN THAT ORDER IT’S A DOUG THING TRY TO KEEP UP.”

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.
