really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Unilateral attack on Iran must be condemned We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

Fantastic to see this unequivocal statement from NZ Greens condemning the illegal US-Israel attacks on Iran

Level up. One of my favourite local jewelery makers has asked me to model for their next photo shoot.

After the Friday compliment fest, fat me is feeling a certain way about that. 🥹

I’d just like to remind everyone that this action is illegal, is done without UN backing (hell, without even seeking UN backing) and yet our government is supporting such.

I know the international rules based order hadn’t been adhered to for some time now, but … I just don’t even have words.

Cool read. Makes me want to reread Monk and Robot with different context.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Green hair, black eyeshadow, black lipstick, black choker, black shirt with metal parts. Goth, pu k. But not emo.

To the group of gushing Ara beauty students who ambushed me, wanting a breakdown of my look: you rock.

To the beautiful person in the STYALICIOUS long coat who told me I slay: 😘🏳️‍🌈

To the Beavis and Butthead who didn't know the difference between emo and punk: fuck off.

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

If you're in a position to vote on this, do the South Pacific a solid and vote for Brisbane.

The last time Worldcon was scheduled down here it was 2020 in Wellington and it didn't happen in person. Will have been 18 years by 2028 since we got an accessible in-person con. Put the World in Worldcon.
