It's really funny for someone in the UK to whine about Palestinian leadership when Keir Starmer is a piece of shit. Who Palestinians choose as leadership is none of our fucking business.

I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories.

If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word?

Thank you!

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

MAGA is back pretending they care about corporate power and "antitrust reform" (with the press' help) this time as a ruse to help Larry Ellison top Netflix in the acquisition bid for Warner Brothers, CNN, and HBO:

"the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them"

I would write novels and short stories and poems and essays and I would keep writing them and keep submitting them until I got published and I would keep publishing them until I had a real career as a writer. and then I'd keep writing them.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is a haunting reflection on power and control. It gripped my heart and made me question the world around me. Such a vital read! #booksky #books
17/25 for my #25in2025 #horror #booksky is The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood A classic look into a misogynistic dystopian nightmare that seems all too real now. The matter of fact narration of life under a theocracy is bone chilling

It's wild that in my lifetime things went from you just had to know I guess intuitively where to go on the web to a categorised index of sites to a pretty good search with useful summaries to one filled with blathering nonsense for clicks to a lying robot that makes shit up while burning the Amazon.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Me, leaning into Roo: I love you. Even though you stole the top bread of my sandwich again.

Roo, looks up at me and licks her chops at the mention of my sandwich.

I could live my life as a disabled person without the constant fear a biased review could cost me my only source of income. Without that anxiety, I would have the energy to care for myself properly, and maybe give a little back to my community too.

I’ve long wanted to start a worker owned cooperative designing and manufacturing pinball machines, and also serving as a sort of maker space for people with a machine they want to build. I’ve given up under the current circumstances but I think UBI could make it possible.
