These stories MUST continue to be told because it is one of the best ways to make the message heard.
Leverage was always about doing just one little thing to know you’ve helped. In our current world, that might not be enough anymore and the characters know it. (✂️🧵)
Even the benefits AND limitations of privilege. These are recurring themes that you may be familiar with from the original series or from Almost Paradise, or even from The Librarians, because they recur in our society. (🧵)
Actually I have more to say about this. Leverage— and every show produced by @deandevlin.bsky.social— continues to highlight with humor and empathy very real and terrifying things that are a result of a worldview that does not prioritize people. Water scarcity, exploitation of grief, even the (🧵)
First three episodes of @leverageredemption.bsky.social season 3 were absolute bangers. @deandevlin.bsky.social keep doing the thing please.
All this to say, I want to be Bea’s friend because she writes super good and makes me think many thoughts.
When I talk about subverting western philosophies/societal expectations in fantasy, this is what I mean. Many of us fight for our identities to be seen rather than pushed to the background. Fitzgerald brings us to the foreground and not plot devices. As people.
The End Crowns All by @beafitzgerald.bsky.social is a hefty tome and I took a long time to get stuck in because of life stuff but now that I am, I’m delighted by the subtle representation that makes me feel seen.
Hey, wanna guest on a podcast and talk about dragon age? I happen to know of one that would love to have you 😉 @reignitepod.bsky.social
I wasn’t ready for @rebeccathorne.bsky.social to drop a mass effect reference on me.
Everyone in writing group is worried about me because I wrote three sad trans pieces in 2 hours.
Just finished Under the Same Stars by @libbabray.bsky.social and I am emotionally compromised.
HELLO YES I MADE THIS SWEATER! This is the Simply Tweedy sweater form Hobbi with a slight adjustment to the sleeves. I didn’t like that they striped horizontally while the rest of the sweater had vertical, so I changed it. Anyway. Yay! #hobbiisimplytweedy

This isn’t the first time something like this has crossed my feed. Ever since then, my nausea will not go away. I can’t sleep, I can’t work. I live in fear even though I legally and visually pass as cis. (Laziness and a disdain for paperwork paid off I guess?) I’m terrified to go home.
I don’t know how it came to be 4 AM but my sweater is almost done

If I don’t get invited into a throuple with the twink and the bombshell or to smooch the pretty bird lady then I will be speaking to my lawyer. (My lawyer is a cat but he does his best)
I checked my backpack 5 times or more. I gave up looking for my hard drive. Got to campus and there it was in my backpack 😖
My hard drive is missing. Here’s hoping it’s a silly little prank by my subconscious and it’s actually right in front of me waiting for someone else to pick it up and show me.
Idk if you’re part of the Mass Effect fandom but the next tattoo is Garrus Vakarian in a similar style on the other arm. So I‘ll have an angel and a devil on my shoulders. Sort of. (I’m hilarious)
I loved @nubesrosas.bsky.social pinup Karlach so much I got it as a tattoo (after buying a tattoo pass of course). @marelletattoos.bsky.social did such an amazing job translating the illustration to a tattoo— I can’t wait to go back to her for my next one!
Thoughts @samanthabeart.bsky.social?
Can’t sleep because my brain has been generating its own make some noise prompts
I just napped so hard I think I am possibly in an alternate dimension
Apparently I buried my strong emotional attachment to shadow the hedgehog and it is only re-emerging now

Thank you! Now that it’s over all the anxiety I blocked from my brain is back so I’m going to go pet a dog 😅

Playing Sea of Stars and you cannot convince me that Garl isn’t short for Garlic.
Good news! Ur ghoul is no longer congested!
Bad news! Ur ghoul felt so bad last night they forgot to put out the bin :(
Good news! Ur ghoul lives alone so trash can wait another 2 weeks!
Thank you for conducting this very important research.
I’ve been wrestling with the fact that I’m such a people pleaser that I allowed myself to be coerced into unsafe sex that I didn’t really want to have because I felt like I had to in order to be permitted to move on. I don’t really know what to do with myself about it.
