we NEED to destigmatize fucking our friends' mothers

Palestinian starter pack

Thinking of knitting something similar to this for my friend who is having a baby in a couple of months but she still hasn't decided on a colour scheme for the nursery 😭

And we're live! If you've enjoyed watching me read all these fantastic books by black transfemmes over the last few days, then definitely check up this write-up of all the black transfeminine novelists on my radar and their work ❤️ wp.me/pfXT7D-A9

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Looking for recommendations for books that are good but will absolutely destroy me emotionally (any genre).

my political ideology is that i don’t let teslas merge

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

Hi, I'm Emily!

I use she/they pronouns.

Some things I may post about are:
-mental health
-writing
-lesbian stuff
-knitting
-history
-books (including horror, poetry, sci-fi, and queer romance)

In 2018 I designed the orange and pink lesbian flag which (to my surprise) has become widely used.

hi new folks! if you want to display your pronouns this labeler is a better way to do it than putting them in your bio. subscribe and do the thing it says

this is so cool!! you can have your pronouns displayed on your posts if desired, see other people's pronouns if they're using the labeler, or just one or the other

(if you want to see people's pronouns but don't want yours displayed, just subscribe and don't like anything)

I've literally just been picking an random classic book from my collection, googling essay prompts based on it, and going from there. Very fun if you, like me, have way too much free time and enjoy writing essays.

I've started writing essays for myself and nobody else. I gave myself an assignment and a due date for the latest one. What unemployment and the inability to study does to a person...

Hello lots of new followers! 😀👋

I write weird, speculative fiction, often with sapphic characters.

I’m Australian. I also post about stories I’ve read and enjoyed, and sometimes cat pictures.

My latest short fiction collection, Pick Your Potion, released in September.

Is there a lesbian community on this app?

Waited all evening for rain to start so I could strategically time going to bed so I could fall asleep to the sound but I fucked it up. I simply fucked it up. The rain has started and I am wide awake.

Hey that's me

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
