One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health.

After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.
Bloody hell! It’s been a long time since a book has brought me to tears. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Thank you so very much for writing Everything Will Swallow You. Book of the year. #BookSky #TheStorygraph

It's Remembrance Sunday and let's remember that the black and brown people fought and died as part of the Allies too.

Was in Lidl during the 2 mins silence today, only clocked it due to a staff member running down the aisle shouting 'Two minutes silence!' with all the confidence of someone who knows we are all looking at tat in the middle aisle. Two mins silence occurs. 90% of shop continues chatting about scented

I'm proud to announce my latest pin design!

These are for everyone with split pronouns who gets tired of people only referring to them one way. My lenticular pin shows different pronouns at different angles!

Please share with anyone who might like one 💖 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396... #SciArt

'I was just about to drop off, when suddenly, 'tap, tap, tap' at the window, you know who it was? Bleedin' Ozymandias! Stark naked save for a cold sneering visage. He was hanging on the window sill, I could see his trunkless legs all white, saying 'Peter, look upon my works, Peter, and despair!'

Ozymandias
Legs over there but his body is here in the sand
Sneer of command.
Look at his works, kings.
Not much is left of his power and glorious reign.
Nothing remains

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.
