keep calling and telling them to stand strong

the difference between last time (when they got yelled at incessantly for caving) and this time needs to be a chasm in terms of the feedback they're getting from constituents

we can get them to hold

Tina Smith says Democrats are digging in: “If anything, we’re feeling more strong.”

“I think we've tapped into something that's really important to Americans.”

I am always surprised by international lesbian day lol

I'm Makana! I'm a mixed race nonbinary lesbian who writes science fiction full of mixed race nonbinary lesbians! my debut cyberpunk space heist novel HAMMAJANG LUCK is out now, and it's standalone sequel THE OBAKE CODE will be out Feb 17th!

trope graphic for the obake code but oops it's all lesbians. the cover is in the center of the graphic, showing malia, a black woman in a white shirt, black pants, black boots, and her long hair in green dip-dyed locs. she is looking up at a futuristic sky, with skyscrapers with pink and purple windows and a flying car whizzing overhead. the cover is on a background of the lesbian flag in spattered paint. the arrows read "lesbians," "so many lesbians," "butch lesbians," "chapstick lesbians," "femme lesbians," "aro/ace lesbians," "lesbians of color," "indigenous lesbians," "black lesbians," "they/them lesbians," and "he/him lesbians."

LEVERAGE X THE BLONDE IDENTITY

A closeted scientist has a breakthrough on true AI that makes her an assassination target. The bodyguard she hires to protect herself brings complex attraction to the surface - but they also might be a danger from her past in disguise.

"[x] would kill the AI industry!"

fascinating how much they care more about an industry 'living' than, say, people (the artists they stole from who need to eat)

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations
