I preordered Light & Earth & Marrow by @jeanniemarschall.bsky.social a while ago and almost forgot about it, so what a lovely surprise when it arrived this week. Look at how cute the packaging is, and the beautiful bookmark! I can't wait to read it. 💙📚

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

Fuck Newsom. Cis white libs I'm begging you, when you vote don't just pick people who shout things at MAGA on social media. Actions speak louder than words; most of the politicians who rise in popularity because of their wit haven't done a single thing to help the people they claim to serve.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

🦇 Dear trans people, It's hard right now and the things happening are scary, but you aren't alone. It's okay to take a moment to breathe and hold yourself and love yourself. It's okay to give yourself grace and to do nice things for yourself. We'll get through this. I love you. You are loved. 🫶🏽

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

a consultant memo has clearly gone out before the midterms. the dem party knows anti-trans rhetoric isn’t popular. but they are banking on winning the midterms because of how badly the republicans are doing. they want to use those wins as a way to shut down the fight for trans rights.

Democrats have shown us since the 2024 election that they won't stand for any leftist issues or protect any vulnerable groups. They only care about protecting their personal wealth and power. A vote for a centrist is a vote for continued fascism.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Maybe if the Democrats had done anything in the last two years to stand against the Republicans, besides yelling on social media, I'd care about supporting the party. They've made it clear they are fine with fascism as long as they personally remain comfortable.

Survive your Monday, #StarTrek friends! This reminds me of something. Hmmm... Can't put my finger on it... #SesameStreet #StarTrekDS9 #StarTrekMemes

Several screenshots from #SesameStreet, although the captions are rather not true to the original. Then again, they are loaned from #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9, so maybe they do fit, after all.

Panels 1 - 4 are various close-ups of Elmo, arranged in a 2x2 pattern.
Panel 1: Elmo Lie. Elmo Cheat.
Panel 2: Elmo bribe men to cover up crimes of other men...
Panel 3: Elmo is accessory to murder. But most damning of all...
Panel 4: Elmo think he can live with it. And if Elmo had to do it all over again, Elmo would.

Panel 5 is as wide as the panels above. We see Oscar the Grouch in his garbage can.
"And that is why you came to me, isn't it, Elmo? Because you knew I could do the things you weren't capable of doing?"
