I actually might fit the bill! And if not I have a few ideas of folks that would for sure 🤗 I'll email ya!

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

My reading goal this year was 50 books. I read/listened to 256 last year. Right now I'm at 136, and have 3 on the docket to add to my list.

I've also read over 60 books' worth of fan fiction so yk, big fan of every kind of writing over here

This is a great ode to booksellers - definitely makes me appreciate the folks that take my recs (and buy them!) even more 🥹

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

A Line Must Be Drawn: The Cowardice Of Historic LGBTQ+ Provider Fenway Health Fenway Health must return to its roots and care for those the government casts aside.

The executive leadership and board of Fenway Health are spineless cowards who have abandoned their orgs mission in service of complying with an authoritarian regime in advance.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

It can’t be a coincidence that the White House and its minions have joined bluesky the day before the No Kings protest.

Do not engage. Block. Protect your peace and what’s left of this space.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Very sad to have published this obituary tonight, but tried to do her legacy justice

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time

if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

David Hogg is cooking lately

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

Do not buy books from Dark Owl Publishing! The owner and operator is Andrea Dawn, a known white supremacist, who is currently on threads talking about plowing cars into protesters.

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks:

America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

From a colleague. Keep calling! It’s working!!!

“We’re hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson they’re against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!“

🚨Greta Thunberg upon landing in Paris: "They tried to make us watch all kinds of propaganda videos, but I didn't watch. This is nothing compared to what is happening in Gaza, which is in desperate need of humanitarian aid."

Reminder - those "less lethal" sanitised munitions are the size of your hand.

They are firing directly at people to cause the maximum amount of damage they can - broken bones, soft tissue and organ damage.

its pride its 2025 we're living under the crushing boot of fascism and if i see one motherfucker doing queer infighting discourse i'm just gonna assume you're a cop

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.

These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

It's Pride Month.

While the Trevor Project undoubtedly does important work, it's a union buster and treats its employees poorly.

Just spoke with my CDC sources

They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA.

Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month.

Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

KOSA will absolutely be used to actively target and discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people; it will be used to frame literally *Existing* as an LGBTQIA+ person as "pornographic;" you can know this because Blackburn has admitted it out loud.

Do not let this fucking bill pass. Call your senators, now.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!
