Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn Summers captioned "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it"

💔

Thinking about Dawn Summers being badass 💔

Yeah, agreed! She did some incredible work with at times weirdly subpar writing on Buffy

Yes!! 💔

this is devastating. she was such a major part of my young life, always interesting and thoughtful in her choices. A tremendous loss to us but she gave us so many blessings.

I'm so sad to hear this news. Unlike some Buffy fans, I loved Dawn and I thought Michelle Trachtenberg was amazing as her. Rest in Power

I am so sad to hear this. I loved her as Dawn on Buffy!

a twitter headline from Pink News saying: "people are losing their minds over the bi-inclusive Progress Pride Flag. The flag in question, contains the 6 rainbow stripes, a triangle on the left with White, Pink, Blue, Brown, and Black stripes, representing Transgender People and POC, and a triangle on the right featuring Blue, Purple, Magenta, Brown, and Black, representing Bisexuality and POC.

Personally, as an agent of chaos, the more triangles people add to pride flags, the more chaotic it becomes, and the better the chaotic queers, like me, are represented

Ahem. Boosting this specifically for YA and adult SFF/H trad pub coming out June-Aug 2024. If you haven't already connected with me, I want to hear from you!

NYC Mayor Adams' new budget proposal would siphon even more $$$ from libraries, shuttering most branches on weekends (budget cuts have already closed branches on Sundays). If you're in NYC, please take a moment to send a form letter supporting NYPL! I just did, it takes ~30 seconds 📚

My Long Covid Isn’t a Burden on My Wife And she's here to tell you about it.

A palate cleanser for that terrible NPR piece, from @heatherhogan.bsky.social As someone with much milder (but still really unpleasant) Long Covid, this was a balm to my nerves.

For my fellow Cdns, you can call Trudeau at 1-613-992-4211 to express your disgust at his support of the genocide and demand a permanent ceasefire. @unfpa (providing reproductive supplies in Gaza) and @thepcrf (humanitarian/medical care for Palestinian kids). Please donate in Javier's name.

Last week at extremely short notice, Jorge's and my second baby Javier arrived. We love him so much! I am so happy to be home with my beautiful newborn and at the same time my heart is very heavy looking at the news in Gaza today.

It's 2024! It's hard to wish folks a Happy New Year given the times - but maybe Hopeful New Year. Heartfelt New Year. A Humane New Year. Possibly even a Healing New Year. I wish for all of these for all of you.

Ooh this looks delicious Marika, thank you. Happy New Year! ❤️
