Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
sbworkersunited.org Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 3d
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

My second book is up on Netgalley!

I’m so excited (and anxious but that’s the norm) for this cast of characters to meet the world. I am really proud of this book! Check it out if you love a cozy-but-complicated coming of age queer romance. Mal’s story is for you!

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..." "not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..." "...you're rich. If you have, whatever-" "- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social
An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

A reminder that your US public library card likely gives you free access to Libby, an app that has ebooks & audiobooks galore!

It likely gets you other cool stuff, too. Mine gets me museum passes, language learning via Mango app, movies & TV via Kanopy app, &c.

Using the library keeps it open! 💙📚

We should all follow Mike's great example:

Step 1: do something, literally anything, to help

Step 2: find something that brings you joy and go do that next

I am so mad but focusing on doing what I can right now. Which is donating to @runforsomething.net to put progressives in office, confirming my vote on CA 50, and supporting independent journalism.

Then I'm going to watch the Sharks opening night. And not let That Fucking Guy take that away from me.

"where's the left media?" "where's fact-checked reporting?"

lately @teenvogue.com has run profiles: of Assata Shakur's revolutionary history; a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist; what's happening in Chicago's ICE protests; and organizing supporting LGBTQ+ youth

📍 www.teenvogue.com/news-politics
Journalist Plestia Alaqad Is Publishing Her Diaries From Gaza: "A Dystopian World" "Every time I read it, I just feel disbelief — is this real? Did I really live that? Are there still thousands of people in Gaza living that?” By Lex McMenamin Politics Assata Shakur Was a Black Revolutionary Who Fought for Freedom Even in Exile “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” By Marian Jones Politics Inside Gen Z Candidate Kat Abughazaleh's Viral ICE Rally Tear-Gassing: "Fascism 101" “If they are willing to do this to a congressional candidate in front of a bunch of press, imagine what they're doing behind boarded-up windows.” By Maia McDonald Politics Hurricane Helene Devastated Asheville.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

hi can people roll on this and tell me about the ordinary people they create
If you need to determine the trajectory of a mundane person's life, roll a number of D8s equal to the number of decades they've been alive, and arrange them in order to see how their life occurred, with each dice result representing the tenor of that decade. Each result represents 10 years of their life. Ignore any results which contradict anything established about the character. Glyph Years 10-19 Years 20-39 Years 40-59 Years 60+ ⦵ Death of a parent, loss of a home, freak tragic accident. Death of a lover, exiled from home, haunted by guilt. Death of a child, hopes dashed, legacy spoiled. Haunted by death, wandering aimlessly, forgotten and alone. ♃ Regular peasant life, learned a trade, hard honest work. Marriage proposal, building a home, parent to children. Build a strong home, surrounded by family, many calm and unremarkable days. Cared for by family, keep the fire warm, rocking chair at heart. ♂ Fought to survive, learned violence too young, nasty scar. Skilled warrior, foes slain, battlefield dominated. War came to the door, home burned, grief spread. Stern and cold, guardian against the dark, prefers the night. ♀ Privileged youth, loving parents, everything provided for. A lover and a layabout, heartbreaker, homewrecker. Talented artist, creative training, earned acclaim from peers. Master of a craft, feared and ruthless teacher, auspicious legacy. ☿ Traveled from distant lands, found a new home, sailed aboard a ship. Explore new lands, venture far from home, go on adventures. Reinvent self somewhere new, earn a fortune in trade, captain a sturdy ship. Dream of distant lands, send others on quests, seek out forgotten treasure. ☾ Encountered magic, miraculous change, still carry the mark. Student of old knowledge, ambitious researcher, curious youth. Bitter intellectual, disillusioned by the world, desperate for enlightenment. Wise old soul, educator to children, a bit wickerwise.
