"A gay guy's guide to avoid your crush" was a story Alice @alicespamma.bsky.social & I wrote for Melagrana 2 by Attaccapanni Press. A story we haven't posted translated anywhere till this day. It was released in 2023. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I SAY! (1/2)

Witchcraft is not consolatory hokum. It doesn't offer tepid answers to hard questions and even harsher circumstances. It offers us relationships with the land, its spirits and ourselves. Relationships may be rough and require work, but they get us through. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Basic human rights should not be conditional on one's ability or willingness to sell their labour. It's fucked up. every single fucking UBI study ever conducted has proven that UBI improves people's lives & lets them contribute to society *more*, not less. Enough with the fucking studies already!

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

This is not a bad thing. But it ends up downplaying the medical queasiness of Body Horror in exchange for the creation of a menacing antagonist. It does not make me scared or sad in the way those 80s movies do. Instead the body horror becomes more of a Mission: Impossible-like spectacle setpiece.

Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made. 
Call the number of the manufacturer. 
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund. 
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get  them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.
