Prime Day, Schmime Day. Hey, listen, indie bookstores are out there being awesome every day. And they tend to ship directly to you, even if you're not local to the store. They're where the books live! And booksellers are book wizards! Bonafide bibliomancers fast with the recommendations.

All the calls for “everyone” to “cool down the rhetoric” etc feel like how families so often put the burden of keeping the peace on the family members who are already working hardest at that, since the difficult/abusive folks are unfixable/cannot be reasoned with.

Happy shark week, yall

Dear People at bsky.app – when exactly can we expect the Buttons and generally the UI getting properly labelled for people with assisted usage (like - blind/visually impaired people or others who rely on audio)? It is STILL not helpful having buttons labelled with "Button" instead of, say "send".

Seconded. Come on @bsky.app ! We want to welcome our disabled friends here and share the blue sky!

Dear @bsky.app, with the latest news of Twitter planning to get LESS accessible + many disabled people still stuck over there, can't you FINALLY make this place here accessible? (Screenreader compatible, with buttons that have proper labels instead of just "button",...?) It's #DisabilityPrideMonth!

Beware of the book festivals! (My latest Guardian Books cartoon)

Repostet, damit ich nach Feierabend dran denke. Meine Urlaubsleseliste füllt sich...

Da muss ich doch direkt... ich sammel grad meine Urlaubsbücher. Ich hoffe nur, dass ich bis zum Urlaub stark bleibe...

Das eBook von "Ich, Hannibal" ist in diesem Monat noch für den Schnapperpreis von 5,99 € zu haben, also schlagt zu, wie Tamenzut bei wildgewordenen Flussgöttern zuschlagen würde! (Auch diese Grafik wieder (c) by Praktikant, nice, oder? 😌)

The best fish videos, and worst puns on the entire internet!

Have you heard? It’s World Ocean Day! 🌍🌊 Let’s raise our voices and seal-ebrate all the wonders the ocean provides. From regulating our planet’s climate to the incredible wildlife it supports, the nourishment it offers, and the calming solace it brings us. We can't shell-ebrate our ocean enough. 🐋💙

We often think that we have to be sad and angry until we have rooted out ALL the evil. And when there is a victory, there comes the "but it is not enough," "but this other thing is still bad."

if you operate in crisis mode at all times and focus exclusively on everything that is bad and getting worse eventually you will end up as an apathetic depressed husk convinced that nothing you or anyone else does will make a difference if you really want to do good, don't let this happen to you

Learning to program means being challenged every day in new and unexpected ways.

"commonality of experience" - the German word for this is Einheitsbrei! Also, of course it was not the pandemic, not the streaming, not the ridiculous idea that every movie is either Avengers or a failure. Naaaaa, It is the catharsis that is the problem.

Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

Now feels like a great time to remind people that I made a hashtag #TransBooks365 just to talk up any stories by or about trans people that you love. I'm hosting an event day on May 29th where we all just shout together to get more attention trans stories!

i'm declaring it Trans Joy Sunday here on Bluesky, act appropriately 🩵🤍🩷

Rejoice! the next step of the Kakapo world domination tour is done! (I for one welcome our feathery overlords!)

There’s a new #kakapo island! On Friday we released four males to Te Puka-Hereka/Coal Island, the southern-most island in Fiordland, with Ngāi Tahu and the Coal Island Trust. This is to help relieve the pressure for space on the main breeding islands. #conservation #parrots

Where is my urban fantasy about this?

I can’t tell you how much peace this gives me, & how much it eases the guilt of feeling like nothing I do— nothing I’ve ever done— was enough. It also helps me to remember there are many different ways to be an activist. I think the trick is finding YOUR way, & then doing it with your whole heart.

Yo “Gays Against Groomers” the org comprised entirely of straight people except for one bisexual woman at the top who’s husband is a convicted pedophile just dropped the hardest fucking trans rights flag ever made thinking it made us look scary instead of inconceivably badass. This is ours now.

I got a mail from Sarah. What Sarah? I don't know you. Then, I read that it is a mail from an NGO. Happens now all the time. Ryan from the green party is writing to me. And Mark from that one webpage... I honestly hate this! It puta me into a complete wrong headspace.

Behold, the first punk rocker! (he died when she smashed her instrument over his head, inventing this glorious tradition) No, there is no proof for that. But why do all the conspiracy theories just be doom and gloom?
