Reposted by AlisonMeg Elison @megelison.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich. 21538661
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is for @lecagle.bsky.social! Flu and Covid vaccines. Two shots, one Band-Aid 😆😂 180
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 05/10/2026“No doubt there are some people impressed by all the workout videos posted by MAGA leaders, though that audience probably doesn’t have much crossover with people who get second dates.” 😂😂😂 1475
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oof. This was published by one of the major houses, but I guess they don’t pay for editors anymore! 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Nothing like reading the words “chaise lounge” to pull me out of a story. (It’s longue. Chaise longue. Literally, “long chair” in French. If you already knew that, this skeet was not directed at you.) 140
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026He's been on it for several seasons (or collections, or whatever they are called), but I'm a newer convert to it, so I don't know how long he's been on. 100
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Complètement ! Je suis beaucoup plus à l'aise avec l'interprétariat que la traduc.... 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yeahhhh, and there's also the fact that withdrawal can be very dangerous! As you know. 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Je travaille surtout avec des africains francophones, et souvent, ils ne parlent pas français à leurs enfants, mais plutôt le lingala, le swahili, ou autre langue africaine ! 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Plus précisément, je ne m'adresse pas *vraiment à l'enfant quand j'interprète ce que dit le médécin. Dans ma tête, c'est plutôt pour le parent, alors je pense que le vouvoiement accidentel vient de là. 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ah, oui, les enfants, c'est l'exception ! Parfois je vouvoie un enfant par accident et je me reprends tout de suite. Mais il faut dire que j'interprète surtout pour les parents desdits enfants ; les enfants eux-mêmes parlent anglais. Je crois que c'est pour cela que je fais parfois l'erreur. 210
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I haven't seen Taskmaster, but I love Noel Fielding on GBBO (and really, that's the only thing I've seen him in). 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Oh, I really like him and had no idea. Thanks for sharing. 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I’m a medical interpreter and I *never* use tu, even when my patients “tutoie” me. It’s vous, always and forever. 100
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Is anyone else here old enough to remember “Bone Fone” (or possibly “Phone”), which sat on your shoulders—kind of like backpack straps—and played music while you jogged? This is very early 80s, IIRC. I was too young to actually own this product, but I remember magazine ads for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A local restaurant half a mile away! I’ll send you the name in a DM. 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Unrelated, but we casually know a couple who also eat at our regular spot. She’s Sarah and he’s Darryl, and @n4ku.bsky.social always refers to them as Sarah, Darryl, and Darryl. 😂 230
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"...too many Democrats are treating this manufactured outrage like it’s a real issue that must be addressed. They’re accepting the Republicans’ framing of trans children rather than countering with a more positive and pro-children framing." But not Andy Beshear. 020

Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This headline made me laugh out loud.kentucky.comWoman accused of driving into downtown Lexington crowd asks for driver’s license backThe woman had her license suspended in March shortly after the incident. 131
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I was going to start doing that, donating plasma in order to earn more money, but unfortunately, I was rejected as a donor. I can still donate blood, though. 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Apparently it's an ad for Temu, but all I could think when I watched it was, "She's a psychopath." 😂 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Damn, that sucks. I'm sorry. If I still have my copy, you're welcome to it! 210
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I worked at the Morris book shop when that was released. It is an amazing piece of art. 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was at the Leestown Rd. event with her. What a privilege it was! And, not the point of your post, but I see Manuel Gonzales's "The Regional Office Is Under Attack!" on a shelf and I must say, that book is bananas in the BEST WAY. 110
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So, I was living in France in the 90s, and I will never forget coming back home and being shocked by a prescription drug ad on TV. I can’t remember what year it was, exactly, but I’d been away long enough for it to be a surprise 000
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Well, in my case, I allowed my prejudices to get in the way of not looking it up to give it a listen. Soooo, point taken! 😂 110

Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have heard of Ella Langley, but only because the PT I was seeing for my tennis elbow told me she was going to see her at Railbird a few months ago. The song? Never heard it. I imagine it's as terrible as its title. 😂 010
Alison @inkyali.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oh, god, I didn’t even register that! But I kind of watched once and listened once, if that makes sense 000
