For all of October and the rest of the year, all earnings from my itch.io store will be donated to charity. Funds will go to a Palestine relief org and an LGBTQ advocacy org (TBD).

There’s a backstory comic, an artbook, and a short story that is donation-only 👩🏻‍🔬💚👨🏻‍🔬 ophiliabedelia.itch.io

I saw Miss Major speak once; she received many questions about handling hard things, e.g. burnout, disagreement w/ allies, etc.

Over and over, Miss Major gave a short and pointed reply which basically boiled down to “You get up, every day, and you do the work.”

So let’s do the work, for her.

Another thing about this game I’m in I have once again made a flawed father figure I ADORE

No they have not fucked yet it’s a sloooooow burn babyyyyy. He has, however, fenced several priceless items for her to send money back home to Ireland and fund her enclave of rebel nuns

Reblogging this commission because it lives rent free in my mind! Also! We are in progress not just playing these two in game but also writing a book!

I don’t know what I did to deserve this tbh especially when all I’ve ever tried to do was do good

The worst thing to happen to me today was an old coworker, who told me multiple times that she’s just glad it wasn’t her, emailing me a job I applied to months ago and haven’t heard back from and then right after getting a rejection from a different fucking job

Oh I’m so tired

Finally heard back from a lit mag. It wasn’t a form rejection but after months of no wins I really needed just one thing to come through

You know why YOU aren't doing the thing you say you want others to do. So it's not a mystery.

When you type "I don't know why there aren't thousands of people protesting x, y, z," I beg you to begin by saying why YOU aren't protesting x, y, z.... [It's incredible annoying]

I gave you guys a few days’ break…But now I’m once again reminding you that i made a whole dang graphic novella about my scientists you should check out!! 👩🏻‍🔬💚👨🏻‍🔬

I already see discourse about it. Not even about him per se but about how it’s a cash grab / “he didn’t even like his job” type shit that makes me go “kids can we lighten up?”

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

40 applications since July and I can’t get a single interview and I really have to wonder what’s at work here. I know I’ve planted a lot of seeds but not getting anything to grow takes it’s toll after awhile

A canva graphic over a photo of a botharín in Kildare that says ““Manchán saw beyond borders through language. It wasn’t that he saw the Irish language as exceptional in its ways of expression, he saw that there was commonality in this expression with languages globally that is being eroded via neocolonialism.”

A canva graphic over a photo of a botharín in Kildare that says as Gaeilge ““Chonaic Manchán thar teorainneacha trí theanga. Ní fhaca sé Gaeilge mar eisceachtúil ach ó thar go bhfuil cosúlachtaí aici leis aon teanga eile. Tá na ceangail seo creimthe ag nuachoilíneachas.”

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

PEAK! RP TIMES!!!! We talk about it all the time
