At this point I've tried to listen to TLOAS three times and I just keep getting the ick. The conservative/alt right pipeline is just too clear here.

This album feels icky with the ICE raids in Chicago, Israel's atrocities against Palestine, and more. I just don't care about billionaires in love.

While we were sleeping:

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.

That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

Fuck ICE. Fuck fascism. Fuck genocide.

Free Palestine. Land back. No one is illegal on stolen land.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

I was just thinking how terminally heterosexual most romantasy is, and if it's not het, it's usually M/M, and I was like "I must fix this"

What if I wrote a series of interlocking sapphic short stories that are basically erotica but there’s a romantasy background plot? And I could sell it on my newsletter.

What then?

This year has been a whole helluva lot and I see you and all the work you have done. It's time for us to reciprocate <3

*Sneezes* Happy First Werewolf Wednesday of the Halloween Season ✨🍂🍁🪾✨🎃✨ AH-Choo 🤧

Rachel does a TON of mutual aid work in the Twin Cities and has personally helped a few friends of mine with some heavy lifts.

Let's put that mutual in mutual aid and help her back!

The exhaustion of it all catching up to me today 😮‍💨

But I'm still determined to get some writing done. It doesn't have to be my best work, but I want to do something on this novel.

The Hennepin County Commissioners are considering cutting funding for the Hennepin County Defending Immigrants Partnership - the only dedicated source of funding legal defense for people in ICE custody in MN. sign this urging them NOT to cut funding:

It's not applicable for everything (or even most things), but damn if you are a person who needs a confidence boost, or suffers from imposter syndrome, or some of those other things, it is SO GOOD.

re: jacob frey’s new ad taking credit for safe homes stable schools, he vetoed the budget that would’ve increased its funding

Still so obsessed with @thelexhesperus.bsky.social work with the Sacred Bimbo. Channeling that energy as I work on applications today!

Hell yeah!!

Listen. For a while my day job was customer service for an insurance company, and before that I had successfully worked for myself for years which involves so much stress.

I don't know if anything could rattle me at my day job anymore.

Any way people who aren't lucky enough to be taking this workshop could buy a zine from ya? It look sooooo good

My seminar with the Religion for Breakfast team starts next week! #paranormalsky #witchsky #religiousstudies www.religiondepartment.com/AmericanPara...
