We had to say goodbye to Penelope last night. Got 13 years of joy and fun with her & it still doesn't feel like enough time.

Amidst all this I celebrate the memory of my uncle, patients and families, and the resilience of these communities. I also celebrate the power of modern medicine—thanks to science, with antivirals and other measures, HIV is no longer a death sentence.
Wish you were here to see it ❤️

I also had the honor of caring for families in the bleeding disorders community that was also devastated by the pandemic as it tainted the life-saving blood products they needed.
Too many innocent souls lost, but never forgotten.

Many personal and professional layers to #WorldAidsDay for me.
My Uncle Joe was a gay man who contracted HIV in the 1980’s pandemic. I watched him suffer for years, wasting away from AIDS until he died at just age 39, when I was 9. Massive impact on me and my reasons for becoming a nurse.

I named my fists Sleepy and Time because I'm tired. God, I'm just so tired.
I've named my fists Hall and Oates because whoa-oh here they come, watch out boy, they'll chew you up
I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass

The Metropolis trio gets a lot of focus, but I want to take a second to praise @nicoleamaines.bsky.social writing for Black Alice, especially in Secret Six.

She captures that core essence of snark & power fantasy masking a wounded heart in a way that, imo, no writer other than Gail has managed.

Absolutely not. Jeweled Lotus and Co can stay banned for all I care.

The RC shouldn't have been attacked for trying to manage the format.

I hope they never get those damn cards back for all the pain and trouble they caused.
Time to kick a can of worms:

I've seen a few posts/videos recently about Jeweled Lotus and people wanting a possible unban.

I remember what online assholes in the community did harassing my IRL friends on the RC at the time and I say leave it banned forever to not reward those chuds one iota.

Jeweled Lotus was an late-addition design mistake. It shouldn’t have been made. It should have been banned sooner. And it should never be unbanned. And after having to report death threats to RC/CAG to an investigator, myself, fuck anyone that pushes for it to be unbanned.

Saying you made an agreement that “places no restrictions” that very clearly places restrictions on trans ppl is…I guess consistent in a country where the ppl in power routinely lie, lie,+ lie some more.

Disgusting of Northwestern to enter this agreement and try to gaslight their community about it
"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."

Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

Maybe you'd like to take a break from shopping to read this little interview I did about my new book, GOD'S JUNK DRAWER

And then maybe you could go to your local book store and maybe pick up a book or three. They have lots. They'd love you to sell them to you.
