People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

I want to say that if this dragnet snags enough white people, we might finally get meaningful action. But I am pretty sure the elites have already called off even the pretense of caring about poor white people AND they’re actively making middle class white people poor. Sooooo…

As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

Our team hit the streets last night to unmask Austin's resident Creeper and wannabe CEO-king: Elon #Musk. Find a poster near you and scan the QR code to join our movement. Snap a pic and tag us to show Musk that we do not kneel. #TheCreepStateIsWatching #keepaustinweird #keepaustinlocal

The corn lobby wants to put more ethanol in our tanks now that gas prices are high, but more ethanol means higher food prices. That’s the whole point - to increase grain prices, to shovel more of your money to farmers.

A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in the next month, with ENSO-neutral favored through early summer. El Niño is likely to emerge mid to late summer and persist through at least the end of 2026. A La Niña advisory remains in effect AND an El Niño Watch has been issued.

"The biggest barrier to entry for next-generation farmers isn’t knowledge or training or work ethic; it’s the historically high price of farmland," writes Brooks Lamb. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

Americans don't want to be funding crimes against humanity. Enough. This has to end now and Congress must act aggressively to force it.

Still boycotting 🎯 Target! It’s not over!!

Until last year, the US government was one of the world's biggest funders of #biodiversity protection. For @biographic.bsky.social, I wrote about what's been lost since Trump slashed USAID and other agencies, and how people & organizations are moving forward now. www.biographic.com/the-future-o...

Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661

Script if you need it: I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)

“ real living person is not a narrative device … When so many people watch a dramatization that uses a real name, real-life consequences follow. In the weeks since the series aired, I have received many hostile and even threatening messages from viewers who seem to believe the portrayal is factual”

people be like "humans are so resilient" we will survive NO WE ARE NOT... no we wont two weeks into the pandemic i saw a white child lick a stair rail... full out whole mouth lick that rail... that's when i knew... "many will die"

#BrainrotPropaganda: You take the patriotic imagery of the past and strip it of all content. There's no narrative left, no promise of meaning, only vibes. The total destruction of meaning is the content, no matter if it's AI generated or manually stitched together from YouTube clips #MemeFascism

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

There were 250 people in the audience, at the biggest available room for our #awp26 panel, Resisting AI in Writing and Teaching. It was invigorating; hearing about how writing instructors are pushing back against their institutions was inspiring. Thanks to my co-panelists Carmen and Umair.

The attacks on Iran, including one which killed dozens at a school for girls, are beyond horrific. End the US/Israel war machine now!

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest. In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

This was my response when my agents asked if I wanted to pitch on this reboot back in November. I really hope more creatives do the same so that the likes of Max Landis are all they can hire. I may not make an honest buck but I’m a hundred per cent American and I don’t work for no two-bit Nazi.

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

The service is another escalation in the age of online dating, women attempting to protect each other from other men in the dating pool, and instances of men fighting against those efforts.

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home. 14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.
