One very funny thing about the cone of shame is that if you get a soft opaque one for your puppy & she runs around in it at dusk it looks like the RCA dog went completely feral and ate the record-player from the inside out.

Even better news: It’s @thehubble101.bsky.social on Alix E. Harrow!
“The dismissal of fantasy is compounded by the strategy of rhetorical containment in which novels in the genre by women are singled out.”

We’ve gathered £83 so far, but we still need £292 to complete this month’s school installment for my children.
Please I don’t want them to miss another chance of learning.🥹
Your kindness can open the school doors for them and give them back their childhood after genocide.💔

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Featured story: Weeks after a transphobic attack, dozens of trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folks gathered on the “free side” of Austin’s Barton Springs to swim, celebrate, and fearlessly take up space.
@kitoconnell.com was there to witness this moment of queer joy and resilience...
