Internet and gas are the most important right now. We’re behind from last month and they’re threatening to shut off the internet soon.
$60 would keep it on until the 16th!

The book gods have determined that THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS is a mere $1.99 on your favorite electromagnetic reading platform if you’d like an easy entry point to friendship breakups, broken people, creepy interstitial terrain, and a haunted house that is a house that haunts. Tell your friends!

White writers get LOUD.
No lol I'm proud to be a "lefty" or "w*ke" - say we must change our government now and stop straddling sales, tie-in, and con access from the racists who don't care that you're a "lefty" as long as you're not actually standing against supremacy in any meaningful way.

White writers staying silent: I don't care if you'll lose money from the tie-in readers or get banned from cons or treated like I am. You've protected fascism for way too long. Not them. *You.*
Stop coddling racists.
Stand up.
History will judge you, but the world has been and is watching now.

A sex trafficking operation that exploited women in #Ukraine was dismantled. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, officials say war-driven displacement and economic instability have fueled #HumanTrafficking, especially for women and children.

Ukrainian and Polish authorities uncover trafficking networks exploiting displaced women with false job offers since the war began.

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

It definitely would.
Understand though, that these periodic backlashes will happen, usually spurred by fear of a fast-changing future with uncertain outcomes.
They're almost always started by religious people who see the world going away from religion, which they believe is the only way.

Yes please! And not just churn out more MBAs. We need MBAs. But we desperately need humanities. Critical thinking. Liberal arts education. I heard @ebharrington.bsky.social (I think it was her) talking about this on @nerdreich.bsky.social recently. Critical thinking would literally change the world.
