digital illustration in comic book style with text, 'what does the fragile liberal snowflake want now?!' with snowflakes and text that read, 'everyone fed and housed, walkable cities, abobo access, clean and safe environment, LGBTQ+ Liberation, health care, thriving wages, affordable child care, accessible public transit, fully funded public schools and community'

"Although grief is a deeply personal experience, video games can help carry the weight. Whether it’s through distraction, escape, or catharsis, there are plenty of cases showing their impact on wellbeing." - @brainbirdo.bsky.social

Generations of Navajo miners were sent underground to extract uranium for America’s weapons and energy programs. Many were never told the risks. Many never made it out alive.

New from @sarahlazare.bsky.social in partnership with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social

Navajo miners work at the Kerr-McGee uranium mine at Cove, Ariz., on May 7, 1953. Navajo men who worked these mines are nearly 30 times more likely to develop cancer.

people who say this to me are not looking for permission to watch the thing or read the books. no one can stop them from doing that. they are looking for a hearty thumbs up, a pass on their guilt, but you can't stop me from thinking you're a fool who's not to be trusted

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

Oh yay, my health insurance is going up $130 a month, with no change in benefits, while we make the same poverty level wage. 🫠

Digital illustration of the back of a brown fem with a long braid. Their hair is black with grey streaks, and they’re wearing a beige 2-piece jumpsuit that has fringe. The back of their jacket reads ‘every grey hair is proof you survived.’ The background is a desert scene.

Here's what I mean when i say i have a chronic illness - It's not "just being tired" it's a daily endurance test. •My symptoms don't clock out when do. |wake up already managing a full-time job: my body. Every simple task takes planning, pacing, and energy math. .' learned resilience the hard way choice. .I'm surviving something invisible, every single day. through pain, not Why? Chronic illness means living with long-term symptoms that don't ס' away" they fluctuate, overlap, and demand constant management. It's not a mindset. t's reality.‎

The best thing a therapist ever told me is "you're not lazy, you only have a certain amount of energy and right now you're using it all to survive". I know someone else needs to hear that too.'

#SpoonieAuthChat I don't write holiday stories, but my slice-of-life romance novel, One Bullet, did end up going into the holiday season. So there's some background holiday stuff happening, but it's certainly not a focus. Shawn and I share similar sentiments about this time of year. 😅

Spoonie Author Chat (for creatives who manage spoons), December 1, 2025:

Do you ever write stories that take place during the end-of-year holiday season?

(Please quote-post and add
#SpoonieAuthChat to your replies!)
Banner image has the same text as the post. The background of the title section is green with white text. There’s also a smaller image of three spoons that are connected at the base, tied with a bright red bow.

For the first time since 1993, the Trump admin has issued instructions *not* to commemorate World AIDS Day.

Erasing our history won’t erase the epidemic. Silence = Death.

Today, however, Lambda Legal honors the ongoing fight for the rights and dignity of people living with HIV. ❤️

#PPOD: The object captured here by the Hubble Space Telescope is a reflection nebula, identified as GN 04.32.8. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust in space that don't emit their own light, as other nebulae do. 🧪 🔭

Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, G. Duchêne
A long, smoky, greyish-blue cloud in the centre of the image curves in an arc around three bright stars, each with long cross-shaped diffraction spikes. The cloud is lit more brightly on the inner side facing the stars, and fades into the dark background on the outer side. A few other stars and points of light surround the cloud: one small star below it has a dark band crossing its centre.

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

"Black Friday" predates shopping deals. 🛍️ The term originally referred to the 1869 U.S. financial panic & stock market crash.

Black Friday is also a 1904 novel by Frederic S. Isham, inspired by those events.

📖 Read the #publicdomain novel ➡️ archive.org/details/blac...

#BlackFriday
Cover of the 1904 novel Black Friday by Frederic S. Isham. The olive-green cover shows the title in large gold letters at the top. Beneath it are three tall black pedestals, each supporting a domed stock ticker machine with visible gears. Long white ticker tape streams down from each machine into woven baskets. The author’s name appears in black lettering at the bottom.

The Inquisition Trilogy is contemporary fantasy, so the military fights with modern hardware + magic. Sure, you armor the vehicle, but mages can add magical shields. You might get hit by a fireball as likely as a mortar. Mauled by a werecreature. Y'know, just the usual. 😅

AI is ruining my life and the lives of pretty much everyone I care about and we're way too far past the point of being lenient because 'maybe they don't know better'. I'm not screaming any louder for your fucking benefit. I'm too damn busy failing to keep my head above water.

"Oh you're just gonna end a friendship because of AI"

Let me tell you something... If I can't fucking *respect you*, we can't be friends. And shilling AI is one of the quickest fucking ways I'll lose every ounce of respect for someone. Simple as.
