Sometimes, the brave person has to be you.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this TikTok since yesterday. Sherman was stressing those ladies out.

it really has been amazing how much one person in a frog suit destroyed their fantasy visuals over the past week. this wouldn't work everywhere but Portland, you are doing amazing sweetie

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

periodic reminder that if you write stuff that's published on the web for a publication you yourself do not own, PDF that shit as soon as it goes live

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

A poster of The Witch Wolf. Arrows point to the poster. It reads “Do You Like… Practical Magic, Interview with a Vampire, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Ginger Snaps, Charmed, The Craft, Crimson Peak, Doctor Sleep | Then you’ll like The Witch Wolf, a webcomic by Dani Carr & Bree Williams (and everyone’s queer!!!) | updates every full moon | thewitchwolf.org

Looking for a spooky read this season? Check out #TheWitchWolf!

3 witch sisters protect a magic forest, but complications arise when 2 of the sisters find themselves tangled in their affections for a pair of werewolves, the hypnotic charm of the head vampire, and devotion to their magical duty.

At the Bottom of the Bonfire - Lightspeed Magazine By the time he went to reclaim himself, it was too late. As a young man, he’d realized there was a power to being alone. Relationships were tethers that held you back, sapped you of strength, of will....

New story day! My 6th story with @lightspeedmagazine.com, "At the Bottom of the Bonfire," is about ambition with no limits, hunger with no satisfaction, and what you lose as you gain power. Thanks as always to @johnjosephadams.com & @wnwagner.bsky.social!

Sepia-toned cover of Beings by Ilana showing a forest canopy over a small road and a car by the side of the road, with a flying saucer hovering overhead. With author text is dull gold over the saucer and the title in the middle of the cover in all caps in white and "A NOVEL" at bottom also in gold. Below the cover is a quote from the New York Times Book Review: "Engaging, elegant... A restrained, gentle reflection on the nature of 'truth' versus memory."

Really loved BEINGS by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social, with its intricate threading of lives and the speculative. Beautifully written and deeply perceptive! Available now! bookshop.org/p/books/bein...
