Hey folks! Come out to support this fantastic anthology - edited by a Canadian, and published by a Canadian small press with a global group of authors. Next up for stretch goals: interior art www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyc...

Remember not to spend money tomorrow if you can help it!

"The Ghoul's scene at the super mutant's temple was originally going to have him hallucinate Lucy and Janey" Wish I had seen the script so that I could have imagined this better. 😭😭 #ghoulcy #Fallout #FalloutSeason2

Plenty of #Willow to deep dive❣️😍 @wtforce.bsky.social

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

my contribution to the #Frankenstein yuri agenda

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

what would Jung have to say about this?

This might be my favorite #birddivination of them all, certainly the one I return to most often when I lose perspective in the quagmire of complaint. As always, find it as a solo print and part of the deck of 100, along with the story and process behind them, at almanacofirds.org

start a gift economy. eventually start a nationwide strike. fashion yourselves after the Maidan protests to fuck with the TrumpMuskovia axis.

Some important lessons here. www.brookings.edu/articles/whe...

I dreamt I was married to the devil and he saved me from his lieutenant who was trying to kill me, lol.

Yesss

"Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority."

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Also, realizing back then that a big part of the reason they hated her so much was because she stopped Finn from killing himself was a big eye-opener on their whole thought process

Speaking of that, for as much as Andor is invoked lately for our current political climate, I'd rather echo her sentiment of "saving what we love" than glorified suffering and sacrifice.

We almost got a GingerRose reunion at Sundance. 🧡🌹

On why the intellect should sometimes take a back seat in our approach to relationships.

The reaction to the Last Jedi cannot happen without GG, but the impact of GG would imo have been much more diffuse without the reaction to the Last Jedi.

To me, the reaction to the Last Jedi was just as much of a seminal event as Gamergate, if not more, because it taught a generation of grifters that the demand for reactionary outrage content was large enough to create a viable ecosystem around it.

What the Star Wars fanbase writ large did to her as bad enough but what the far-right bozos who got their start in the culture war trenches making videos lambasting The Last Jedi is some of the much heinous shit to ever emerge out of a fandom imo

Director Vera Miao and stars Kelly Marie Tran, Jimmy O. Yang and Benedict Wong tell Vulture about ROCK SPRINGS. The film explores a horror that history has tried to forget and the feeling of life in a diaspora. #SundanceFilmFestival

Self-Promo feels...tough right now, but I've got a Native themed short story out in a new anthology launching this March. You can pre-order your copy now, and shares are greatly appreciated. #writing #NativeAmerican #fantasy www.kinsmanquarterly.org/product-page...

chortling. Star Wars really is the deuterocanon of the americanist religion

“Can I say one thing before we end? This theme of what happens when hatred turns into violence is such an important theme in our film. I will not be able to sleep tonight if I do not say, because we mentioned Harry Potter, that trans rights are human rights. I just wanted to say that.”

As nerd and software developer, this is 100% true lol This comic literally coined the phrase "nerdsniping" in software engineering, where you post some interesting bait on Slack and tank productivity for the afternoon xkcd.com/356/

don't ask them to help you. there's no real reward to helping n00bs — it's like asking for charity. nerds are motivated by status, so you have to challenge them. this allows them to reinforce their position on the nerd community hierarchy, which makes them feel good.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

God, tired of working in mysterious ways:

As a fellow bookstore owner, I salute my brother Greg! Heading over to his online shop on AbeBooks to place an order right now: www.abebooks.com/dreamhaven-b...

oh they are scared scared about a general strike

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity

See:

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

I started Justified yesterday and I swear, 13 episodes really is the least number of episodes you can have for a show before it becomes clear something has been left on the cutting room floor.
