There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

@astrophyllite.bsky.social has written a perfect example of gothic horror, with all that the genre entails. It is deliciously sinister and the unreliable narration is so well crafted. It gave me shivers to read.

Tall green double doors in shadow, with one door slightly open. The door knockers are black cast iron Chinese lions, each with a large ring hanging from its mouth, and rivetted cast iron black bands are fixed at various heights across each door. White text over the image reads:

"There are not many rules here, but the most important is that you must never go into the north wing," Nie Xiang says.

Every great sect has its secrets. Qinghe Nie is no different. The cold stone walls of the Unclean Realm conceal a human record of greed and love, obsession and desire, death and a life half-lived. Beyond the locked doors to the north wing there are answers, and Meng Yao has always been too curious for his own good.

I'm halfway through this challenge I set for myself and I'm having fun choosing fics to rec! It's turning out to be more spooks, spells, and creatures than horror, but I've still got a couple of horror fics left to rec.

🍯 honeyedsea 🌊 @honeyedsea.bsky.social · 15d

I've decided to try something new this month, and I'm calling it Rec-tober! I'll be reccing one fic a day for whole month along the theme of Halloween. So expect multi-fandom fic recs involving spooks, spells, creatures, and horror 👻🔮🧟‍♂️🩸

✦ illustration of jinkook. jungkook lies on an arrangement of white flowers, covering half of his face with his left hand that's loosely intertwined with seokjin's. he's cast partially in shadow, his skin pale, hair sticking to his skin. he glances towards the direction of the viewer. seokjin (offscreen) has his free hand on jungkook's chest.

✦ illustration of jinkook. jungkook's eyes are closed as he tilts his head back, baring his neck to seokjin. he cups the side of seokjin's neck. seokjin's face is hidden but his lips are extremely close to jungkook's throat. they are bathed in a soft yellow light.

✦ illustration of jinkook. seokjin stands while jungkook sits and buries his face in seokjin's chest, his shirt unbuttoned and pulled down his shoulders, the collar stained red. seokjin drapes his arms around jungkook's shoulders and looks somewhere offscreen with a wistful expression. his mouth is red.

We all know about brought back wrong, but what about born wrong? This short fic has a lovely dreamy feel, except the dream is a nightmare, one about sacrifice and duty and the places the two are tangled together like thorns.

Jiang Cheng from The Untamed is kneeling and leaning on his sword. He is wearing robes in various shades of purple and his long black hair is half up, half down with a spiky silver guan securing his ponytail. White text over the image reads:

You woke up when you were five years old. You were, of course, alive before that: you have a collection of round-edged, river stone memories of your childhood, faded like a length of silk left on the sun for too long. Running on the pier. Falling into the water. Nanny's scent, milk and cedar-wood and clean sweat.

But you woke up then.

The Jiangs have a secret, Jiang Cheng is made wrong, and Sandu makes a break for independence.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

She knew. She’s lying. And on top of that she had the opportunity to create a much better canned response and instead went with the oppressed must learn to get along with their oppressors.

Here's an in-depth exploration of information you might wish to include in your Accessibility info for your venue or event, written by a disabled man!

Free to read.

johannestevans.co.uk/2025/10/15/d...

Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man.

"The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible" is a good place to start, but then planning a night out, more information is better than less! Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events.

Read what you want to read and don't worry about what you "should" read. Your time is finite, books are awesome and there millions more than you can possibly read in a lifetime, there is no reason to self inflict literary suffering.

Thread (read all the posts) and quite true. Just ASK animal-related groups that are local: "I'm struggling, do you know of any pet food banks/options around?" because they usually have contacts and might run one themselves.

Krista D. Ball: Canada's Snarky Potato @kristadb1.bsky.social · 3d

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

I used Tune My Music to transfer my playlists to Deezer. I considered Tidal but Deezer lets me upload my own mp3s so I can add files from my own library to it to listen to.
