I’ve never been happier to not be on Twitter anymore. you couldn’t pay me to go back. honestly it’s so bad that a lot of people on it should be in jail

Impeach, convict, remove.

Latin American Coups promoted by the United States

I would much rather live in a society where no one died for oil

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

given the long history of this country’s interference in Latin American politics via coups, COINTELPRO, etc. I’m surprised it took this long for Trump to make such an imperialist move. it’s sickening and he should be tried for war crimes

me, watching the Stranger Things finale: so…defeating the villain who kidnaps children…makes the world a better place? huh. really makes you think

I regret to inform you that stretching really does make your body feel better

my partner got me printing supplies so I carved this spaceship stamp 🛸

lol okay

first story submission of 2026: ✅

@ruthjoffre.bsky.social on "We Will Rise Again," where activists are "regular, everyday people trying to do a little good under decidedly less than ideal circumstances.” https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/fantastical-transcendence-and-the-magic-of-resistance/

REMINDER to send your 2025 original publications of queer speculative short stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, anything odd and unusual) to We're Here 2025 for consideration - I am the guest editor this year, with the always awesome @cypayseur.bsky.social!! www.neonhemlock.com/were-here

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Get in, losers, we’re enjoying life and making all the right people miserable.

I fully intend to be asleep when the ball drops tonight so I'll say it in advance: happy new year! we survived 2025! the odds were not in our favor, but we made it through anyway. here's to a new year and another chance to say fuck you to all the fascists. let's make them regret they were ever born

The Dogs of 2025 youtu.be/K_1tNbud-8g?...

my last read of the year. all the Jorie Graham stans were right. had to stretch this one out over a week because it was so good

@ruthjoffre.bsky.social reviews an anthology of speculative writing about resistance: “In this new anthology, activists are just like us. They get tired. They aren’t perfect, and they don’t have to be.” https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/fantastical-transcendence-and-the-magic-of-resistance/

New today on the site! @carriecourogen.bsky.social on Gena Rowlands, John Cassavetes, and the enduring power of A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE

I wasn't going to do any resolutions for the new year but this post inspired me: live my life such that friends text about cool birds near me. especially owls! please text me about owls!

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

so tired of propagandai

Okay, for one this AI weirdo needs to be banned from all work at future cons. For two File 770 has got to stop acting as her personal op-ed publisher. Let her dump her AI generated slop on her own blog. There is no good reason to publish this junk except for clicks.

every AI evangelist sounds the same. "it's here to stay!" "there's no putting the genie back in the bottle!" have you met a genie? have you read the arcane texts? do you wish to study ancient magicks and prophosie the end of days? then cast aside your foolish talking points and come to the librarie

sneaking in with one last pub before the new year: a review of the anthology We Will Rise Again, in which I talk about the ups and downs of organizing, some incredible stories, and why we need real visionaries. shoutout to editors @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @older.bsky.social

Are you ready to make 2026 your Big Writing Year? Why not invest in a craft book that will demystify techniques and support you on your journey? AN HONOUR AND A PRIVILEGE is a collaborative fiction/non-fiction anthology about what we write, why we write it, and what we do when the going gets tough.

"The writers in 'We Will Rise Again' offer readers a glimpse of not just how things are but also how they could be." @ruthjoffre.bsky.social digs into a new anthology: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/fantastical-transcendence-and-the-magic-of-resistance/

‘To be a speculative fiction writer today is to see all the radical ideas and groundbreaking technologies you’ve been thinking about for decades get twisted into gnarled, soulless facsimiles by big businesses and so-called thought leaders... We have never needed real visionaries more than we do now’

This is such an amazing review from @ruthjoffre.bsky.social at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social! "The stories in We Will Rise Again offer readers a glimpse of not just how things are now but also how they could be. They present worlds where we solve problems collectively..."

why does my dog look like a gumshoe working a tough case

OKC has now lost more games to the Spurs than they have the entire rest of the league 😈

happy holidays from my dog and his tiny tie

look at the Christmas Eve cheese plate my partner just made 😍

it’s currently 67 degrees with 80% humidity on Christmas Eve 🙃

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

"The Lion in Winter" is the best Christmas movie.

that feeling when you’re snuggling your dog on the couch and the sun sets so there isn’t enough light in the room but the snugs are too good to get up so you just see the faint shine of a distant light on his eye as he gazes adoringly at you 🥹

thanks be to the leakers, for they know what's up

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹 They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating. A new scoop for The Reengineer! www.thereengineer.pro/p/church-org...

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

it looks like I will have one last publication drop before the end of the year. stay tuned 👀

it’s always a good day when you get paid for a story you wrote 🥳

“It’s just going to get warmer until Christmas” is a real sentence I just uttered while looking at the forecast 😭

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.
