Ok, I think itā€™s time for me to get off Bluesky and poke at other things before I go to sleep. If I have one request for all of you, itā€™s please try to be kind to yourself. Goodnight, my lovelies. Be well! šŸ’š

If you donā€™t think youā€™re cis, *if youā€™re safe to do so,* think about it. Because you deserve to live too. That goes for wherever on the spectrum you might be, or think you might be. Because being happy and yourself is the best.

Being a girl (or a woman, if you want to argue semantics) is kind of the best for me. Seriously, coming out and transitioning has been the best thing I could have possibly done for myself. Iā€™m not just alive, Iā€™m living.

This this this! Itā€™s the first thing I say when people ask how they can help the library. The second thing is show up, use our services. Come get your copies here instead of at Staples, weā€™re cheaper and the more you use us, the better are stats. The better our stats, the more our funding rises.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

Oh and specifically if you are trans and debating on starting hormones or having work done in the next few months. Do it. November could shake out and things are mostly the same as they are now, but you never want to regret not taking the step if it's removed as an option.

I mean, itā€™s not useful in a personal understanding of the work, but it can give a lot of insight into its nature. But thatā€™s a very personal thing.

This has been the case for literally the last half century. For example, Social Security isnā€™t broken. It was borrowed from to pay down the debt and deficit that ballooned under bad Republican policies. If they would restore the full provisions of the SSA, it would be fine.

For the first half of the 90s, I was living in an area with a large (pro and fan) comics community. Rumors got around. (On Usenet too.) I think I was shocked earlier this week, but not surprised, if that makes sense?

I feel like, yes, everything heā€™s written (well, a lot of it) has been touched by this. I mean, this doesnā€™t feel like my reaction to, say, the MZB news, where I immediately decided her books could no longer live in my house. Iā€™m not sure how I feel about his previous fiction. 7/

But I donā€™t know how I feel now. I feel like so much of what heā€™s written has been tainted. Sage has already pointed out that ā€œCalliope,ā€ a Sandman issue I always found powerful in its use of folktale tropes, is painfully close to a plain old SA story, and sheā€™s absolutely right. 6/

Ok, Iā€™m just gonna come out and say it: I remember stories (which I assumed were exaggerated) of Neil Gaiman doing things with groupies back in the 90s. I ignored them then, because the idea of a ā€œrock star writerā€ made sense, with the image heā€™d cultivated. 1/
