Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!
We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

You know what I’m not in the mood for right now or in 2027? A military light super hero movie. Let’s put those down and get back to the rom coms and something horny with magic. Give the kids story heavy live actions with kids in them.
‘AVENGERS: SECRET WARS’ was originally meant to be released today.
The film will now release in December 2027.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.
Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Self-publishing history. Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities in his periodical. Melville, Hardy, and Twain all subsidized early works, paying publishers to issue them. And Leonard and Virginia Woolf started Hogarth Press to publish Virginia's fiction that was too innovative for mainstream houses.

Partnership work is a key part of my strategy to tackle violence against women and girls.
I’m committed to continuing to work with partners to explore innovations to ensure survivors can access the care and support they need, whilst working with the Met to go after perpetrators.

Call Me To You & Grave Depravity definitely has a Deftones vibe, more specifically Change in The House of Flies.
#Novmemeber 6. Eternal Flame has a whole playlist to its name (still building it), which I'll drop the link below as well, but to choose just one song, I'll go with Nightwish's "Shudder Before the Beautiful," which I consider the book's main theme and the one I imagine (1/2)

#SFFChat Q4. Still first draft, but I think this fits well: a monument representing a key moment in the history of the kingdom... and a symbolic reference to what is about to happen now, in the present.

Dear person in supermarket who jumped away in panic after turning around and seeing me wearing an N9,
I wasn't the person you need be concerned about. It was that person who walked past coughing, and the other one spluttering further down the aisle.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”
