I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.
When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.
It's not a national suicide because the perpetrators don't believe they will die. In fact, they are seeking their own immortality in multiple ways that we can see and not see.

Please send a letter to your city council member and follow up with a call too! actionnetwork.org/letters/city...
There are many ways that NYC residents can fight to fund our public libraries:

A painting of Astarion and my male elf Tav, Tali against a textured purple, blue, and navy background. Their faces are surrounded but a pale pink and white halo, and a crescent moon in white and pale blue. Astarion has his lips parted in a slight smile and eyes partially closed, he is wearing a fancy outfit of blue, gold and white, and a gauzy fabric wing is hanging down from his upward extended arm. He is leaning in to face Tali, who is wearing a fancy sleeveless gold and blue outfit, gold jewelry and looking up at him with a sultry smile. Tali’s straight hair is long and silver grey, it’s flowing over his chest and behind his shoulder, and partially braided behind his large elven ears. Tali is handsome, and has light golden skin, freckles, and mauve colored eyes. His left arm is extended out gracefully, emphasizing the gauzy blue wing on his shoulder & hanging down past the border of the image. 🫶

Same but with writing 😭 I finally had a chapter update to post yesterday (after over a year of not updating), and it crashed the moment I was about to hit "add chapter"
Then today, about an hour after I posted, it crashed again 🥲

To kick off Women's History Month, I'm sharing a booklet that we made for our Radical Black Women of Harlem walking tour. It's free to download and you can organize your own self-guided tours using the booklet. bcrw.barnard.edu/publications... - made this when I was a researcher in residence.
Liberation Library is a group I co-founded. It has been doing amazing work led by Chicago-based volunteers since 2015. Join their work!
Image Description A 5 by 5 bingo grid. The top left features the AO3 logo then the title: 2026 AO3 reader bingo! by Tavylia_Sin See how many you can fill by 2027! The grid is in pink and pale lilac with a darker red for the centre square. The fills are as follows, going from left to right: Top Row Read whilst at home Recommend a fic First commenter on a Fic Read 30k words in one day Procrastinate by Reading Second Row Dreamed or daydreamed about a fic Read a new topic Found a cursed author's note Read in a new fandom Finished reading a longfic Middle row Read a fic with a unusual site skin/formatting Read from an old fandom Free space! Comment/Kudos on at least 52 works! Read whilst somewhere public Got invested in a new pairing Fourth Row Started reading a longfic Talked about fanfic with someone irl Read whilst away from home Gained a new kink or favourite character Author replied to a comment Bottom Line Read a different POV Quoted favourite line(s) in a comment Read something fandom blind or original Read a longfic update after a break Read a fic someone recommended The final text beneath the grid is as follows: Honour system! It's up to you to decide what counts for you, but here are some details~ A different POV can be 1st/2nd/3rd or a character POV you haven't read before. You can change 30k in a day to any amount that is a large-but-achievable number for you! "New" counts as "new to you", and "old" is something you have left and come back to after some time has passed. Have fun and happy reading!
First we had #AO3 writer bingo, but I now have a version for all the #FanFic readers out there!
Free space can be adjusted to your preference but that's average one per week - I figure there are some monster readers out there too who could likely fill this two or more times over the year~

This is such a small, insignificant little "victory" in my life right now, but I'm halfway through an old, neglected one shot draft and I posted what I have so far on tumblr
#Bg3, #Tav+Astarion, E 18+ (but no smut yet)

It's only gotten worse
Thank you 🫂💞
Me, so overworked that I have no time for myself, my relationships, my hobbies, or my wellness anymore:
Is this not a living death?
"Sunset on the beach"
Another render inspired by the Larian animated short, this time of Mama K and hubby's Tav as an easter egg. 💕

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.
I love this so much!!!!
Every detail has me screaming 😍
A nurse from Baldurs Gate 3 and Nurse from Silent Hill are holding hands and walking towards the viewer. They are both covered in old blood and broken down looking, barely alive and barely human.
"We saw you across the bar…..and we hate your vibe." 🫦💅 #bg3 #silenthill #myart #horror #powercouple
Shadowheart reclines against a red background. She is wearing a blindingly white suit and is being nudged backward by Karlach's heel

Screenshot of Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3 frowning with her arms folded. She's in the foreground looking at the camera, with a Tav doing jazz hands by a newly-freed Shadowheart. There is a heart frame.

We were excited to welcome @derecka.bsky.social tonight to join @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social in conversation on his new book, but she was injured defending a student from the police at Columbia last night. @lkspence.bsky.social has graciously agreed to pinch hit, though, so see you at 7!
Thank you! 🥰
