I masked the whole time last year at SDCC, including when I was on panels. Seemed to go okay.

This is my cat"Zaatar" Zaatar died because of the war here, and I couldn't even help him because everything is scarce, even medical care for animals.

A while back, I read about a nasty campaign against Bluestockings bookstore from some of their neighbors. So I sat down with one of the store's worker-owners to find out how they're holding up -- and to learn more about how YOU can support queer/feminist bookstores. buttondown.email/charliejane/...

Fascists and bullies want you to feel helpless and hopeless. And we are neither of those things. Remember that.

If you are feeling hopeless and inclined to defeatism — STOP AND READ this. Never give up before the end, don’t roll over and let them win. France is a lesson in beating the far right: #politics #stopthegop #endfascism 🗃️ www.tumblr.com/always-coffe...

Just freaking inhaled GLASS HOUSES by @madelineashby.bsky.social . "A group of employees and their CEO, celebrating the sale of their remarkable emotion-mapping-AI-algorithm, crash onto a not-quite-deserted tropical island." Thrilling near-future scifi that absolutely f'd me up (in the best way).

I used to be obsessively engaged with the social media news/opinion cycle until one day I wondered "What is the point of this? It doesn't help anyone." So I made a decision to use the time and energy for stuff like writing letters to my reps instead. Not telling anyone what to do, just works for me.

The narration is definitely kind of jarring. Love the show otherwise though. I kind of wonder if that voiceover was added late in the process because they thought the audience needed more spoon-feeding?

If you live in Nassau County, please consider calling your reps and telling them NO.

This is really worrying. There's a bill in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, that has a good chance of passing due to GOP majority, that would fine people $1,000 for wearing a mask.

Long Island bill could mean jail time, $1,000 fines for face masks that hide identitywww.nbcnewyork.com A county on Long Island could become one of the first legislative bodies in the tri-state to ban face masks that conceal the wearer’s identity — with violators facing potential fines and even jail tim...

(Omniscient narrator voice) "In fact, omniscient narration never went away. Even now, an young author in Missoula, MT had started writing a magnum opus in which twenty-seven different characters' inner monologues were all represented within a single scene. This was to prove a pivotal turning point"

Weirdly for a while there I was seeing first person plural narrators in almost every literary short story out there
