This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

"Any attack or interference with the 'Madleen' [would constitute] a violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), an affront to UK sovereignty, and a breach of international humanitarian law."

J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

A panel from a Calvin and Hobbes comic.  Calvin's mom, eating dinner, says "Life could be worse, Calvin."  Calvin, clearly upset, his mouth huge says "Life could be a lot BETTER too!"

They plop their massive, polluting data centers into black neighborhoods

They have to underpay, overwork, and exploit workers in Africa just to get it to function

The β€œtraining data” is stolen work of creatives and academics

That data is then used to steal opportunities from those same people

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but β€œdon’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Whether Israel come 1st or last doesn’t matter.

The issue is that they’re given a platform and allowed to participate.

Them not winning is not a victory. This is no reason to celebrate. They bombed Gaza and killed more innocent civilians today.

EVU refuse to be accountable.

I’m sorry but I refuse to take you seriously as an advocate for Palestine if you live post Eurovision and claim to support Palestine in any kind of way. BDS have asked us to boycott Eurovision this year, as they have done every year.

A banner that reads OLDER LGBT SCIENCE FICTION: A DATABASE in big letters, and tinyurl.com/oldgaySF in smaller print below. The background is an orange-tinted retro-looking photo of a row of radio telescopes.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles πŸš€

With alt text. The kicker comes at the end and it takes a bit to get there, but I tried to describe the rather dry layout leading up to it very clearly because the contrast of dryness to horror is very important to how the image lands for me.
