Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

I know it can feel like elections in places we don’t live don’t matter but y’all it is so fucking rough in these streets for queer kids rn and every single one of these victories is going to keep more of them with us so they get to be queer adults 💕

Book banning isn't popular and isn't what parents nor taxpayers want.

The average person is sick of hearing about the unhinged sexual fantasies made up by the genital obsessed party.
I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

#TeenVogue
Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

It's Halloween AKA THE SPOOKIEST and our last Flytrap Friday post is up at @theflytrapmedia.com: @tinavasquez.bsky.social on Halloween villaging, a fascinating subculture that was so cool to learn about.
Inside the Tiny, Weird World of Halloween ‘Villaging'
As part of this Boomer-coded subculture, two companies vie for the attention of weirdos like me, who prefer to spend their time—and money—constructing small, spooky landscapes.

Wait, holy crap, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD is *two bucks* for your electromagic book reader of choice. A sinister apple called the Ruby Slipper begins to change the people of a small town! Cults! Suburban folk horror! Way too much apple-based information! Cats! Hope you check it out, too. OKAY BYE.
This is still just under five bucks for your favorite digital reading device, and I don't know why, but if I had to guess, it will stop being this price after today. So if you want creepy family dynamics and alternate reality horrors and maybe-haunted-house funtimes, THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS awaits.

Something fairly under-reported–or at least I have not seen across my feeds at all!–is that in addition to SNAP benefits ceasing November 1, so, too, are so many HeadStart programs.

This one's back on sale! I don't understand how any of this works! But I *do* know it's got a creeptastic Bajan take on The Cask of Amontillado by Tiffany Jackson, an absolutely gutting Annabel Lee story by Tessa Gratton, and is the origin of Emily Lloyd-Jones' August Pine, among other glories!
