I’m Joan. working on a solo d&d campaign for hubby to playtest my storyworld & help me do some collaborative world building inspired by @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social

I choose my next read exclusively on vibes. That said, I just bumped @nnedi.bsky.social’s Death of the Author to next.

Hi, I'm Jason Hubbard, and I recently put "Ouija Stories" on Wattpad. Less than an hour read but bone-chilling all the same! ⬇️

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Ugh Jon Stewart vehemently declaring Star Wars fans are “never gonna get laid” is so fucking annoying.

All wrapped in there is pathologizing fandom, bullying nerds, misogyny, and more all in one stupid tired trope.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I know this is a joke but setting up therapy can be a gigantic pain in the ass fr.

I’ve been trying for months. And no I’m not doing any of the online ones. I’ve tried them and they didn’t work well for me and BetterHelp in particular is known to sell personal info in violation of HIPAA.

BREAKING: Person would rather get validation from strangers on the internet than go to therapy.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help!

My #disability story might have taken a really interesting and different turn! My district may have done something really cool to help me and I need to do a little bit of due diligence before writing about it, but if I can I’ll be doing so from a very different perspective. 🤞🏽

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Normally I wouldn’t presume to speak for all millennials but I think in this case I can affirmatively say

We disown this woman and her statement. She is a boomer now. I will not be taking questions.
