TIL (again): marginalization isn’t just something that happens when someone is directly attacked, it’s also when someone’s existence or experience is ignored. Thanks @blackwomangold for the help & support.

Looking for a sensitivity reader / ableism educator. If you’re up for helping me think through some of my own ignorance about ableism, slide into my DMs?

[(((Venn))) @heaventwig]

@Blackwomangold I’ve followed you, so you should now be able to DM me.

@Blackwomangold 🤦 thanks for that first piece of feedback!

@OneShotRPG Both feel sacred, ngl. Thanks for sharing those glimpses of loving connection!

@NTWhite Ugh. I loved his performance in the GOP primary, and appreciate his service (do I mean his service in war, or against it?), but at least half his positions are atrocious nonsense (which half? U pick!). Happy to say more privately. If you vote in VT, please vote for Becca Balint.

This game looks amazing.

Marveling at the structural brilliance of the Scholomance books. If you’ve finished reading book 3, do yourself a favor and go re-read the first sentence of book 1. Homeric in scope. 🤯

@YourSuccubusBae @blockchaindildo Maybe you just need a dress cryptographer to help you decipher them. Have you tried running the dress code through simple transformations, like ROT-13?

@_jaycashh Thank you for your service! Teachers are amazing. And your style is, as you surely know, 🔥🔥🔥.

I'm releasing it under CC0, with same intent I see from previous weavers of this tapestry: this belongs to our whole community. I have svg and other files if folks want them, though it's not as print-ready as what you'll get from the @WeAreIERUK website.

I made this thing & want you to have it: a variant on @ValentinoInter's Intersex-inclusive redesign of Progress Pride Flag, with all 9 colors from Gilbert Baker's 2017 version of his original 1977 eight-color flag & adding a gray border to include the ace/aro spectrum.

Just saw the news about Barbara Ehrenreich. Her writing, and her approach to investigating the consequences of structural economic violence, were and are transformative. I’m sure there’s so much else about her that I didn’t know. May her memory be a blessing.

@sadiabies Hard same. I might be... transfae? transarboreal? But as a non-binary person I'm definitely not transbinary.

Riley Williams, accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop, was given permission to leave house arrest to attend a Renaissance fair.

As a public defender, I represented a teenager who wasn't given permission to leave jail to go to his dad's funeral.

I was recently in the ER (I'm on the mend and don't have Covid) but let me tell you Covid is not gone and really really bad. There were so many teens and children being rushed in for Covid and lots of people who were ill from severe complications. Please wear a mask.

Every silence turns out to be ragged, tinged with an edge of fire.
And every bout of screaming must wind down. We can never
sustain it long. All words must kiss goodbye the one that made them, and go down into the dark. 8/8

[(((Venn))) @heaventwig]

"a sestina about silence, using the key words dark, ragged, never, screaming, fire, kiss" um, okay, yes. Here goes. Poem by me, with thanks to Neil Gaiman, Calliope, and Morpheus.🧵 1/8; original here: https://t.co/pxxY9JSyju

It's not that there are no sounds, it's the ragged
scrap of noise that might be distant screaming,
or the sigh that comes as neighbors kiss —
the shifting ashes of a dying fire —
because our heartbeats leave us, living, never.
It isn't like the way light isn't dark. 7/8
