Still need more winter gear and food to get us through the month <3
Ugh hate to do this, but I'm completely out of savings and don't have a new gig until the new year. We have rent and bills covered for this month, but nothing for food AND we need some thrifted winter gear for the littles. Any sugar settlers appreciated!

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

@moderation.bsky.app I have chatted to Ruaa multiple times before and can confirm she is a real person on the ground in Gaza. She isn’t a bot, a scammer, or anything else of the sort. She is a young Palestinian who is trying to survive a genocide. Reinstate her account immediately.
NEWS ON RUAA. Moderation says she violated “Trust and Transparency” rules.
Well, @moderation.bsky.app, I know Ruaa and her extended family. I am the financial host for their fundraisers. I have seen their bank documents…because I have to. This is a real person. Restore her account. #FreeRuaa

Almost 1.3k written tonight 💪 Feels so good to be writing again, especially on a WIP that's had me feeling stuck for the longest time.

One of my more unhinged/hyper-specific videos about the House of Night series thus far. I had a lot of fun with it, though. Come down the rabbit hole with me!

I actually think it’s the perfect choice. It’s a bone bleached by sun, the 500 year old styrofoam still intact on polluted soil, a noxious fume billowing into sky, corporate minimalist interior, a splotch on an x-ray, the afterlives of the present.
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

people who say this to me are not looking for permission to watch the thing or read the books. no one can stop them from doing that. they are looking for a hearty thumbs up, a pass on their guilt, but you can't stop me from thinking you're a fool who's not to be trusted
when that show comes out i better not hear a fucking word about it. no memes. no edits. "it was so important to my childhood--" okay well human rights are important to my adulthood??

Grabbed two random books from a local Little Free Library several weeks ago; one of them ended up being part of the Goodreads Choice Awards. Fun coincidence!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Walk outside under the blue sky and tell the birds, trees, insects, stray cats and dogs, and all of your neighbors you'd trade them for microplastics in your blood and the military-industrial complex.
If you can't do it you have to care about nature now.
