40+ yo, they/them. too many ideas, too little time, too much stress. Also psiten on Dreamwidth! Ask to connect on discord. Writing fic since I was about 5, probably won't stop. See my AO3 (still psiten) for an idea of my fandoms, but there are always more.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

the literacy crisis affects art, too, because there's so much meaning in every word here. "vulnerable" implies the advice may not be trustworthy. the fact he's been turning it over means he's been trying to determine additional meaning from it throughout his life. compressing it loses meaning!!!!!!!
This week's word for the #ficwip game is "show"!

Thread, and also, what the actual fuck
Who this "moderator" was should not be allowed to go near a book event again
Completely unacceptable for him to behave that way, and I hope someone is taking good care of you right now. You deserve the time, space, and support to recover from that, and focus on the good things about having a new book to love. Wishing you the best.

I actually can tell colors apart! Whoo! (Spending my whole life around people who are better at it than me, I often feel like my eyes don't work.)
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.
Oh damn. Good thing @distributeaid.org started sourcing durable medical equipment in 2024. We've shipped it to both Lebanon and our US hubs across the southern US.
If you're a mutual aid group that needs wheelchairs, crutches, or rollators and can pickup from us please DM me!
In search of fighty bastards (affectionate): do you live in SC, are you a user of DW (or any other social media), and would you be willing to tell the court how what sites like us would have to do to comply with SC's terrible law would restrict your speech and association with others?

Hello! I’m looking for an ASL sensitivity reader for a project I’m working on at IDW—paid work obviously!!
Please repost or message me at cassandra.jones@idwpublishing.com with your resume if interested. ✨
You'll get lots of different answers because (surprise) women are people, and people like different things! But one thing they personally cannot do is speak for all women. They can only tell you what some people have mentioned to them. The HR cast and crew, at least, have not been reductive.
When interviewers trot that question out for the lead actors of Heated Rivalry, one thing I like is they tend to point out how they made it for a broad spectrum of people, and anything they say about why there are women in the audience is just their guess. Ask a woman what stories she likes.
*cheers for you*
My mom died of covid in mid-May 2020, and we couldn't schedule her funeral before late June because so many had died. There was a refrigerator truck outside the funeral home. We did a short memorial service beside it, in the parking lot.
When we got to the cemetery, I noted one thing:
