What absorbs us, catches our attention, causes us to stop and completely focus? Is it a thought of our own, a moment of imagination and play? May it be so -- may we be enchanted and entranced by nature and life.

This is what happens when you ask your library about representation in #autism books. You get #ActuallyAutistic authors who are singers, actors, comedians & more. I've not read these but I'm really looking forward to. Talk to your library today.
My actual #trans agenda.
I want trans people to thrive.
I want trans kids to grow into trans adults.
I want us to feel safe at work, at home, and in our communities.
"This is exactly why many women do not come forward to report harassment or abuse.
"We are being asked to ignore what you can see on film, and to dismiss a woman when she says she didn't consent. It is an outrageous situation."

@randahl I shared the post with my Ukrainian friend, and her first response was โWe are not allowed to film stuff like thisโ.

Fellow Black people - I know that in light of the #jacksonville killing, some people booed the white suprem-, er, Intellectually Diverseโข governor DeSantis of Florida, given his vocal and political support of white nationalism. However, as a Black community, we have to remember that protesting violent white supremacy sometimes makes white people feel sad! And angry! And isn't that really a kind of racism in itself, if you think about it?
Anyway, I'm happy to draw your attention to this helpful book, collecting all the wisdom of white Controversial Thinkersยฎ like DeSantis and all those other bitch-faces about the best way to protest against racism. Compromise!
I heard about Red,White, and Royal Blue as a movie, and I watched it. It was cute, and distracting. During the closing credits I saw it was based on a book, and I'd just finished one, so I bought it. The book is usually better than the movie.
Oh yeah, so much better. The events aren't compressed, the characters are better developed - and there are more of them. Get the book.
This is some racist bullshit

I know mastodon has issues, I know the fediverse is basically a prototype of what it could be. I know itโs annoying when people are snobby about masto despite its faults.
But for real, if we want this shit to succeed, weโve got to also love what is good here and be growing it. That doesnโt mean yelling about how all other social media sites suck. It means focusing on what weโre getting right here, listening carefully to complaints, and putting a little energy into solving problems
