i don't have unhinged literary opinions, only hinged ones and my hinged opinion is that publishing should spend money on marketing and publicity again

(ok i have one unhinged opinion and it's that litfic authors should keep YA's name out of their mouths lol)

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

THIS. If a politician is willing to abandon today's Inconvenient Vulnerable Group in the name of political expedience? They'll abandon them all. And fascists will not be appeased by any of it, anyway. They just switch targets. That's how this works.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

This race has implications for all of us!

Third, this race is not only a preview of how the fight over electricity prices will play out, it is also a bellwether of broader political trends. Politico wrote of the race: “Republicans are hoping to use the election as a way to tamp down any Democratic optimism ahead of 2026.” As a state GOP strategist told the outlet: “For Republican voters, it is important to turn out because a win by Democrats will tell Democrats nationally that there’s blood in the water.”

Let me just repeat that. That is a GOP strategist saying “A win by Democrats will tell Democrats nationally that there’s blood in the water.”

You obviously want to support trans people, especially transgender people in sport during this period when soon, we will again no longer be allowed on the field. I'm asking that you to please donate. Pls share!

I'll never forget the pitch of a (thankfully failed) startup I ran across years ago, that was basically "Don't you wish you could monetize your friendships? Now you can! Our new app and shitcoin makes it easy to keep track of the favors you do for one another, to cash in later!"

Blocked another Resistance account that just screenshots popular posts from people like Robert Reich and then reposts them without alt text.

Friends. Stop following and reposting engagement farmers.

It's just a *slightly* more sophisticated spin on the RT If You Agree! grift.

As an aside: when I write about cis people, I'm gonna start writing "[name], who identifies as a cis [gender]."

Hey cis people who write about such things! There is an entire style guide created by @transjournalists.org you can use, for free!
