Completely mind melted by how amazing this embroidery by peacocksandpinecones.co.uk is. Zoom in on the detail

One thing I know for sure is it’s always a good idea to check on your people. So many folks I adore are going through some hard shit. And I can’t fix. But I can do that.

Finishing and submitting a story = you're in the game = you rock. Rejections are a measure of that last. That means, getting a rejection = you rock. So when you're feeling down, remember YOU ROCK! and write another story. When you get a reject, remember YOU ROCK! and write another story. And so on.

Writers! It's the weekend... or almost! Quick reminder: Rejection - DOES NOT MEAN - you are a bad writer! Whether from an agent or a mag editor or someone else. Keep pushing. Make each piece better than the last. Stay in this! ❤️‍🔥YOU GOT THIS!❤️‍🔥

Tennants mock the Tories with hilarious Doctor Who reference after election flopwww.thepinknews.com Trans allies Georgia and David Tennant have mocked the Conservatives with a six-word Doctor Who reference after the party's election loss.

My darlings, the everything is a lot. Be kind. That means to yourself too. Radically fucking kind. Anger may get shit done, but you cannot mend a break with a hammer. You can’t stitch a heart with despair. You deserve space to breathe. And learn. And grow. And be. You are here. Stay.

JUST IN: Labour heading toward a landslide victory in the UK. This is their return to power, for the first time since 2010. National exit poll, released moments ago, shows them above 400 seats. The ruling conservatives projected at 131, which would be their lowest since WWII.

I know the ache of it, the agony of the storm, how your heartbeat feels like lightning, how the silence feels like an old friend, and this new monster has too many hands, but *breathe,* this too shall pass-- there are brighter horizons gleaming around the bend. #TinyPoem

Will voting fix the problem? Sometimes, yes. . Will not voting fix the problem? Absolutely never. . The math isn't particularly hard.

It is time to stop paying the New York Times a dime. Yes, that includes Wordle and the recipes. Sorry.

The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody. If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.

Hope. Is. Resistance. Yes.

That feeling is why I #SharGoodNewsToo Many things are terrible, but the year we have a malaria vaccine, a shot that gives 100% HIV protection, & global carbon output is finally *falling* not rising should see a mix of headlines not 100% bad. They want despair; despair stops action #HopeIsResistance

When give the choice, I'm going to the awkward, sincere thing every time. CareBear gonna CareBear, etc.

There is not enough coffee in the world today.

Darlings, a reminder: my care is not conditional. If you need me, it is a standing offer, and I *mean* it. I’m steady. And a whole lot stronger than I look.

**drafts text** Well, I could say this better in a poem. (Poetry is how my brain works. Writing one for someone is very very rare. Intimate, yes. But also a sign of deep trust and affection.)
