- Question: Do the people who are laughing about how No Kings "changed nothing" also think that England went, "Fine, form your own country!" after the Boston Tea Party? Or that MLK did a single protest, went home, and BAM, that was the entire civil rights movement?
- I gotta say, Trump posting a video of himself shitting on Americans is the most honest thing he's ever done in his life.
- I sincerely hope this is true

- This is my current read. It wasn't supposed to be my next read, but the concept kept dragging my attention back. If any of you read Spuffy, please do yourself a favour and read @hollyda.bsky.social
- My slow and ongoing "edit my entire backlist" project. I hope it still hits!
- I've successfully hunted down Harbingers of Beatrice by Holly. It was massively updated in 2017?? OMG. I originally read this #spuffy fic on FFN when I was just fresh out of high school?? Also omg, this is the same author I've been binge reading for the last week or so!! @elysianfields.bsky.social
- Reposted by Holly DenisePublic hates him too
- The internet is a weird place. Like yes, the world is on fire and democracy is dying because of the proliferation of misinformation and extremism made possible by it, but also, all my friends are here and I love them.
- Reposted by Holly DenisePlease remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.
- Hey, it's Pride & Prejudice's birthday! To celebrate, I thought I'd share the amazing cover @bengman.bsky.social made for the re-release of my modern retelling. Now available on Amazon. Warning: Contains lots of sexy sex and Elizabeth is an unabashed feminist. That bothers some people.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseI'm so excited to get to share these now! My friend @hollyda.bsky.social has been planning a rebrand from her former pen name, and I got to design new covers for a bunch of her books!
- I do not! The most I can tell you is it was in use in 2002 when I entered fandom, and widely enough that I think it probably had been for a while
- @hollyda.bsky.social I have a Spuffy history question for you! Do you know when the ship name “Spuffy” was coined?
- They would crucify Jesus all over again.

- Same goes.
- I try not to get too political on here but this here is the reason that if you voted or if you support Trump in ANY way you can unfollow me. Now. Fuck off. #TransgenderRights #LGBTQRights
- Reposted by Holly Denise“We can’t know if he has hatred in his heart” is a sentence I have come to hate.
- I was today years old when I learned Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfieffer are exes.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseI’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we are being terrorized by insecure white men who once got their feelings hurt.
- Reposted by Holly Denise‼️NEW: Montana has introduced a bill that would ban trans people from the bathroom matching their gender in all publicly owned buildings. This would also ban transgender people from being in the correct prison facility, domestic violence shelter, changing room, and more.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseHi, I’m God. It’s January 6th Eve, so don’t forget to leave out crackers and crystal meth for Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- It's going on my mantle. Be jelly.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseAnd what I want, right now, as a Democrat, is a scorched earth strategy. I don’t want any cooperation with these fucking traitors. I want Sherman through South Carolina energy. I want Republicans to regret ever hearing the name Donald Trump, let alone nominating him.

- Yeah, my degree is in Creative Writing. I've won awards AND have spent the past 15 years editing professionally. If I want my work critiqued, I know where to go. I also know how to critique others. No one arguing against the OP in this thread is qualified. They feel entitled. Big difference.
- The comments are full of assholes trying to justify their assholery. Can you criticize someone's work? Sure. You can also walk up to a stranger and tell them their taste in fashion sucks. When it comes to dickish behavior, you CAN do pretty much anything but doing dick things makes you a dick.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseYou're thinking of reviews, which are written for the potential audience of a work, NOT sent directly to the author or attached directly to every copy of the work in question. Unsolicited critique is showing up saying "I'm your editor now!" when that is a high-trust, consent-based relationship!
- Yes, this. All of this. If I don't know you, I'm not going to listen to your criticism. You have given me zero reason to trust it. In general, people don't provide unsolicited advice to help someone improve; they do it to feel superior about themselves. All they achieve is looking like an asshole.
- "If you publish something on the internet, people can comment on it." can =//= should Seriously, this is not a good argument. Just say you want the license to be a dick.
- Look, fanfic is more personal, okay? It just is. When you write something for traditional publication, you KNOW it's going to be picked apart by someone. All commodities are (and that's what original fiction is in our capitalist world, a commodity). When you write something for free, it's out love
- It's time to make this public. I killed Rosalie Stanton.
- Secret Santa fic is up! My recipient: @spuffyduds.bsky.social dark-solace.org/elysian/view...
- Reposted by Holly DeniseIn the most damning illustration of how sick & twisted America's core values are, when children get shot in school, thoughts & prayers are all they get. But, when ONE CEO gets shot, NY calls it "domestic terrorism" & wants a hotline for CEOs who feel worried. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/new-crisis...
- There are so many incidents in my fandom, I don't even know where to start. Hazard of being nearly 30 years old.
- This was waiting for me at the office yesterday. I am perceived by my coworkers.
- I really have zero patience for people who are pearl clutching at the adulation for Luigi Mangione. Especially since they propped up people like Kyle Rittenhouse.
- MAGA, Republicans, I am begging you, do not remove the Electoral College. It is DEFINITELY the only way Democrats will ever win again. We need it. We love it. Don't you DARE take this away to spite us.

- Reposted by Holly DeniseWell, it's Once More With Feeling day at #AnotherBuffyPodcast, and our good friend @trevorcarlee.bsky.social made this in an effort to break the EF Discord server. He succeeded, by the way. We are all collectively NOT OKAY (but in a good way). Sharing here with permission. And with love. Mostly.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseIf you’re a Buffy fan and not listening to Another Buffy Podcast, what are you even doing? Check them out! (Especially this ep where they cover one of the greatest achievements of the whole series, the musical “Once More, With Feeling”).
- Reposted by Holly Denise“you’re annoying me” “and you’re enjoying it”
- I seriously could not give two shits about who Biden pardons. Honestly, good for him. Burn it all down on the way out.
- Sometimes, as a Mod, I get to make goofy things. In this case, a banner for a fic that doesn't exist. Why? To provide an example of how to attribute a work's part in the event.
- Other fake banners I've made.
- My Elysian Fields Secret Santa assignment could've been done by now if I hadn't decided to take a simple set-up and complicate the fuck out of it.
- Reposted by Holly DeniseYes, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity
- Reposted by Holly DeniseThis needs to be said, loud, and often.
- Ideological purity is what kills us.
