thomas keller no!

The guy who provides our firewood in the fall bailed us; so, got a late season supply this frigid morning. It took two hours to stack and I am so tired and so sore but also very grateful 💫

In sum: support a queer, trans weirdo this holiday season and impress your friends and enemies with your impeccable taste! www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...

There is no monstrous grift Jimmy Fallon won't run cover for

Our infrastructure isn’t ready for what’s coming.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first Winter Fair! Thanks to the artists who tabled and a special thanks to @priyahuq.art for this nifty piece I brought home!

#ICYMI: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detailed the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program. (Published Oct. 2025)

more than ever— buy local, organic, regenerative farm to market goods!!!

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

"ensouled digital beings" makes me want to vomit. that's FICTION. not anything a corporation should be allowed to sell as an actual real-world PRODUCT. fuck this entire pack of lies.

It's been 6 weeks since I wrote about the lies that undergird every single base premise of the entire Gen AI industry, and the evidence has only grown that these ocean boiling slop machines are all made of cake Using them transfers legal liability, so stop it. Now. medium.com/@patchgaley/...

NEW: Last year we found the acceptable level of exposure to formaldehyde set by the EPA left people at risk for cancer. Now the Trump administration has roughly doubled it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Feeling lifted with this book, drink, and Tina Turner gooorgeously belting ‘Proud Mary’ on the stereo.

Marvel could afford to just randomly send out a million dollar check to any one of the creators of multi-billion dollar franchises. And these artists deserve so much more than that.

Happy @fredvanlente.bsky.social Day, everyone! I sat down with the man himself, as well as artist extraordinaire, Ryan Dunlavey, to talk about their special Jack Kirby comic book they did for the NYC Department of Education! www.cbr.com/jack-kirby-c...

I'm just sending this wish up into the universe: Chotiner and Sarandos.

It’s us

more and more we are being steered into a dark age by absolute craven cowards

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high. This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Joan Didion would have been 91 today. More than half a century ago, she wrote about the importance of learning not to mistake self-righteousness for morality – something sorely needed in our own epoch of militant self-righteousness: www.themarginalian.org/2016/12/05/j...

This whole convo is fantastic - 1.5 hours of very informative chat on climate justice vs the gross economics of tech Ft @naomiaklein.bsky.social @profwhw.bsky.social @profhvdv.bsky.social, hosted at @ccj-ubc.bsky.social youtu.be/27BHQhkK52I

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

amazing ⚡️ comics!!!

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Hey, NYC. Quakers are holding a silent vigil/public worship for immigrants at 1:30 in Union Square tomorrow. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

“Some argue that isolation is no longer possible, that climate change, deforestation and economic pressure will make contact inevitable. I believe that argument is defeatist and ethically indefensible. It assumes that outsiders know what is best for these communities.” New @mongabay.com op-ed:

Im planning on contacting Ford and Stellantis and asking if their CEOs agree with the racist comments spoken by Trump when they were standing behind him in the Oval Office today. Join me. www.ford.com/help/contact... secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media... @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

“Wherever life can grow, it will. It will sprout out, and do the best it can.” Remembering Gwendolyn Brooks, who left us 25 years ago today, with her wisdom on vulnerability as strength and her advice to writers www.themarginalian.org/2017/04/19/g...

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now! Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

In many Western tales, you're taught to slay your monsters. In ours, you dance with them. You heal them. Our film is in its final days on Kickstarter: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks #Kickstarter #animatedfilm #crocodiledance

goodness I love this Chris Ware/ John Kuramoto animation!! (and unrelatedly, I ❤️ Jamelle Bouie. curses on rotten @nytimes.com for bad reporting but also… making me read it sometimes bc of the aforementioned) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/t...

I cannot over-emphasize how absolutely fucking insane this is. These are the most expensive fuel sources in existence, with no abatement equipment to speak of, no smoke stacks to disperse pollution. We could just build a power line, but instead we’ll suck on tractor tailpipes.

There is a free tool to migrate from Spotify to Apple Music and you won’t regret it

"According to data from Media Radar, The New York Times took in more than $20 million in advertising revenue from fossil fuel companies from Oct 2020 to Oct 2023, twice what any other outlet earned from the industry" - @amywestervelt.bsky.social, Matthew Green & @joeygrostern.bsky.social #NYT

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.
