PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is.

It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it.

It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

The Holmwood Foundation - Season Two Season Two of the horror-fiction audio drama about possession, queer identity, and Dracula's severed head!

If we don't hit our goal (which is looking increasingly likely), we cannot make season two.

Even if you can't donate, a share or review goes so far. This is a project Fio and I are so proud of, and we really want to see it through to the end.

Season one is already available for free online!

lrt: I rant about this to Lee like twice a week, minimum. I hate that ai has stolen wonder from me. I see something now and I immediately have to question it. I hate it.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

Did my intake to commence volunteering at a local food pantry this afternoon and let me tell you, after just half an hour of basic description of operations I now thoroughly get why they stress "please just give money, don't buy random food at retail and bring it in" over and over and over.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

When I was a kid my family gave money to the local food bank, but once a week they would also take me to the store to choose items I would WANT to eat

They explained to me that the kids using the food bank don’t often get treats. They don’t get any choice

It was a lesson that really stuck with me

I can’t make a living writing any type of media but the people who can’t afford to pay me to write the media can still make billions a year selling the media they can’t afford to pay me to write.
