Holy moly, when did I get 100 followers?! Hi to all of you wonderful folks!!

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

Today marks the start of Banned Books Week. In honor, we are celebrating stories that have inspired conversation and challenged norms. Censorship is so 1984!

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’ The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you

they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply

do something you can be proud of on your way out

Pay Bethany Kirkham using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/itberiley and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

It's my partners birthday in a few days, and he desperately needs a new pair of earphones.

The ones he's after are £60 and there's no way I can afford these in time for his birthday

If you would like to help give him a surprise on his special day, a few £ towards his gift would be amazing

Yay thank you for creating this!

Shout-out to your friend Lee and you for having such a lovely name!
Her name used to be Daria when I misspelled it as Daira and decided I liked that better. I like that meaning, it's very fitting for her character arc!

Helia Arago and Austen (huh he looks a little see through 🤔) are my characters from my urban, paranormal fantasy WIP.

These two were featured in one of my short stories, Curl Up and Dye, in the One Page, One Love Anthology.

"But God stayed silent, and the fire inside Rhys raged on, spreading from his chest to the points of his fingers and the tips of his toes." - @stgibson.bsky.social

Inspired by Chapter 14 of Ascension. Highly recommend securing your own copy to find out what happens ✨

Illustration of a veiled woman with a crown, standing beneath a glowing moon, surrounded by stars. Her veil flows like mist, blending into the night sky. She is light herself, lit from within.

An illustration from a few years ago, when I was in my ‘put moons on everything’ phase- which I'm completely over with and not fighting myself about every time I paint 👍

Really can't emphasize enough that Character.AI is a predatory company profiting off of vulnerable children and if you're a teacher using the platform - or other LLMs - to "talk" with fictional or historical figures just stop.
