An intrepid and scrappy crew of a mercenary starship are on their latest delivery mission running a stash of Ash 2.0 from the outer rim to a planet smack in the middle middle of High Austere Governance, will they be able to deliver the payload? Join us for a galactic adventure for charity!

Seems like a good day to re-share this cosplay shot by @waynewestphalen.photography from a couple years back. Entertainment unions seem to get the most attention these days, but there are hundreds of unions working all the time to ensure fair contracts and better conditions for their workers.

On Saturday, a young man was shot directly in the eye with a pepperball while observing the protest at the LA MDC. He has lost vision in that eye PERMANENTLY. If you can share or donate to support, please do: www.gofundme.com/f/support-je... Note: I personally vouch for the veracity of this fund.

The direct line from one injustice to another. We know why. I know why so many of my friends and relatives are just now upset. We know. I need my fellow white people to start really getting it. Facism & white supremacy walk hand in hand. We cannot dismantle one without dismantling the other.

Renee Nicole Good was a legal observer. My activism began with service as a legal observer with the ACLU during summer 2020 in Atlanta. I cannot express my feelings today. I am gratified as always to see LA turn out as they did tonight at Placita Olvera, but it's not enough. Not yet.

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

LA, 3 chances to get out and be heard. I will be at Placita Olvera tonight, but I've worked with the Valley Defensa folks in Van Nuys, so you'll be in good hands if you go there. I cannot be out tomorrow, but if you need a buddy, I will see if I know anyone going there. DM on IG. #losangeles

I hope you'll consider joining us tomorrow at PAXU for "Creating Seats at the Table" where we'll be discussing the need for producers and DMs/GMs to shoulder responsibility for creating welcoming and diverse tables & spaces in the D&D / TTRPG world. ✨️ #dungeonsanddragons #PAXU

This Fearne is on fire 🔥 I think going forward I will paint both hands, but over all I'm incredibly happy with how my painting skills are improving. I really liked how the more jagged, volcanic red lines came out. Photos from DragonCon 2025 thanks to @leophotography9584 ! #criticalrole

Day & Night. I did something insane yesterday: I wore 2 cosplays with very different body paint colors with a 2 hr change window. Spent 4 hrs getting into Fearne, wore her for 4.5 hrs. Took 2 hrs to switch to my Destiny Guardian, wore for only 1.5 hrs. Exhausting, but genuinely fun! 🔥💠 #dragoncon

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Tomorrow! I know for a lot of people just turning up and marching around can feel like a pointless exercise. I need you to look deeper. I need you to come hear the speakers, the music, the message. A march isn't the solution, it's the start. It's revving the engine, greasing the gears. #resist

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

If you know me, you know where I'll be tomorrow (if confused, keep reading), but after that I'm doing something insane. I'm going to DashCon 2 and I'm DELIGHTED! I'll be re-presenting one of my panels from the OG, infamous DashCon. Maybe I'll finally get my hour in the ballpit. #dashcontwo

DO NOT SIT DOWN AT THESE PROTESTS! Your personal safety is top tier over appearing "more peaceful." Hands up & feet moving! Make a human chain if needed, but stay upright! Please do not share these "sit down" memes and infographs. They are going to get people hurt! #resist

This Saturday is the next national day of action for @50501movement. I will be out with @50501_socal - if you're in LA, please consider joining us. If you're not, look for one near you. The goal is to mobilize 3.5+% of the population with 50 protests in all 50 states as one movement. #resist

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Join us tomorrow, May Day - International Workers Day! This isn't just for Union workers - it's for all workers suffering under the modern workforce failures to provide not just the meager basics, but true living wages, health care, and protections! Give us bread, but give us roses!

Some beautiful views in Los Angeles today! Tens of thousands of people gathered as SoCal united with other marches around the country: 50 states, more than 50 protests, 1 day. And one message: when they come for one of us, they come for all of us - so we say "hands off!" ✊️ #50501socal

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Also, we are trying to find creative ways to ensure everyone can hear - if you have a speaker/radio capable of tethering through Bluetooth or FM, bring it!

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Want to help? Here's when & where to show up for tomorrow's protests in Los Angeles!

The Original (DragonCon 2024) vs the Update (WonderCon 2025). This cosplay will continue to be a WIP, but I'm so pleased with my progress! Also, shout out to @brookesmart.bsky.social who said at a TTRPG panel this weekend that pros in a space should have no shame also being fans. 🖤🔥 #cosplay

The only way to stop what is happening is the mass mobilization of people. 50501 is looking to have protests in all 50 states on April 5th. Be present, show you object to the erasure of our democracy. If you want to volunteer or just join the march, find your local chapter: www.fiftyfifty.one

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

This is where we're at folks. Do you want to stand by while our democracy crumbles or do you want to help stop it?

161

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

If you're seeing and understand what's happening and are angry (justifiably angry), I need you to start thinking about next steps. Start getting informed about the protest networks in your area and get involved NOW. The next large, country-wide protests are being organized for April 5th.

Tomorrow, we kick off Season 4 of the Rumbles! This show was not in my plans when I moved here. The pipe dream was to find a way to work for a nerdy entertainment company, not start my own! And that dream still remains, but maybe this just keeps growing... Hope you'll consider coming to the show! ⚔️✨️

There are TWO Women's marches happening this Saturday in LA. I will be at both, helping organize the 2nd. The morning march is in the tradition of Womens marches that began in, 2017. The 2nd is being organized to address the rise of Fascism and its impact on women and the queer community.

So... who else is going to DashCon 2? I'm hoping one of my panels is accepted so I can go 2 for 2 as a panelist. 😂 #dashcontwo

This is a screenshot of a video ESPN posted (commentary text is theirs) & I find it *fascinating* that official videos didn't show this angle. Didn't show the shadow on the ground - a very classic hangman from tarot - or perhaps other hanging men, strange fruit, if you will. #superbowl

Screenshot of a video ESPN posted of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show at the Super Bowl. An a capella group is singing with Kendrick below a light pole. In the foreground, Uncle Sam (Samuel L Jackson) is waiting to move into the scene beside camera operators. A lone figure reclines with elbows bent, hands beneath their head, at the top of the light pole. A spot light on this figure creates a shadowed outline on the ground which looks like a hanging man.

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

This is what community looks like. Proud to see how much good trouble LA has been making this week. I wasn't able to be out for much or long, but had some good conversations with folks about not just what's going on, but life in general. When I arrived, they were literally dancing in the streets.

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Straight up fuck this shit. Yes, the US would probably function better if it weren't so massive, but we can't take our toys and taxes and go. Isolationism is the FUCKING PROBLEM. The facists WANT to be cut off from anyone and everyone with the power to hold them back, to resist, to fight.

Screenshot of a Facebook post linking to an article with the title: Measure to make California an independent country cleared to gather signatures.

Sarah (the author of this bluesky post) has replied: If we leave, how do we help? How do I protect my sisters and afab friends in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina? All my queer and trans friends there and throughout the rest of the country? Maybe its easy for people who have lived in California their whole lives, who only think ephemerally about everyone else in the United States. But I have people I love and care deeply about in almost every continental state in this country. And I've spent the better part of my life living in deeply red areas where people I know and love are first in the line of fire.

Yes, this. Whatever it takes to get there.

Resistance thoughts from my Tumblr this morning. www.tumblr.com/durnesque-es... #resistance

Screenshot of the 2nd part of a Tumblr post by user Durnesque-esque. Text reads: One does not simply wake up able to punch Nazis. But if you start educating yourself, you will find yourself equipped with knowledge needed to spot Nazi / Facism where you see it. If you get out and involved with community groups that are part of the resistance: IN ANY FACET OF THE FIGHT YOU FEEL MOVED BY (queer rights, womens rights, health care, climate change, immigrant rights, financial inequality, workers rights, free Palestine / Congo / Sudan, etc - the fight is on MANY FRONTS), you will learn how to speak about and stand for your rights. You will learn what systems and networks you have access to that can help victims (including yourself!) who are in danger.

The Bystander Effect is STRONG. It takes knowing how to break through your own conditioned responses to stay silent and uninvolved when you see crisis of any kind.

Resistance is ACTIVE and DIFFICULT work. But it is work that needs doing and that is worth doing. So start stretching and strength training today. We're going to need you.

#resistance

There is no human struggle that is not connected to justice in our communities. And there is no justice unless we are all connected to our communities. If you are not already, get out and join a movement in your community. Any issue, every issue. Solidarity now and forever. Go make good trouble. ✊️🖤

11 years. Wild. Was recognized for the first time in a while over the weekend at PAXU, also the pic set on my FB and caused a real life friend to realize, tis I! 😅 Used an airbrush for the first time this weekend. Fearne is such a representation of my growth. But it started with Wondy & Tumblr. 💛

Sarah Durnesque @durnesque.bsky.social · 30/11/2023

PAXU bound tonight. I may relax tomorrow's cosplay, but should still be easy to find given what I've seen about PXAU crowds. 😅 I struggle with facial recognition and name recall, so if you see me, PLEASE say hi! I get those "I know them" feels, but can't often place you without help. THANK YOU!! 🤍

What's up Bluesky? Starting a new social media account feels like writing a new dating app profile. So idk, here's my hour in the ballpit from the Tequila Party at DragonCon, 2014. And yes, I had been a DashCon panelist earlier that year. Consider this your Sarah-lore for the day.
