It's a hard choice but I'm going with: “The Regrettable Loneliness of the Great Wizard Graveblossom’s Door” - Worlds of Possibility, April 2025 --cozy fantasy comedy with knock-knock jokes-- It's a funny, silly, intimate little piece and I love it. www.patreon.com/juliarios/sh...

Mamdani: So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

Any unsolicited email that includes something like "I’m part of a private readers community about 2000+ active readers and social media reviewers. We’re not some forced review for hire thing. We just spotlight books that actually deserve to be seen, and yours hit that nerve." is a scam. I'm sorry.

Mark Harmon, star of the criminally underrated movie Summer School (1987) NCIS what?

A reminder-there are really great books about magic that center Black & Brown & queer characters where profits don't go to tearing down trans community=The Marvellers @dhonielle.bsky.social; Nic Blake @angiethomas.bsky.social ; The Vanquishers-Kaylynn Bayron; Amari & The Night Brothers-B.B. Alston

These cruel, inhumane fuckers just won’t stop.

Please, please, don't. If a convention wants you to sign a contract, get someone to read it over for you, and watch for red flags. No single show is worth courting a lawsuit, or your career. You're worth more than that, and you have a long time to prove it.

All this beautiful artisanship destroyed. Historical societies everywhere will be devastated 😞

I found a really good summary of why the White House's demolition process is illegal. It's in the comments of this architect trade journal/forum archinect.com/forum/thread...

This is the clearest way to explain it.

Oh no, it won't touch the East Wing, he said. He'll respect the White House, he said. Trump is a disrespectful, destructive, lying sack of rancid weasel shit who ignored all of the proper procedures, permissions, protocols and permits to demolish first, fuck about afterwards.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

What’s the best one liner in movie history?

We live in dark fucking times for freedom of speech and the freedom of the press.

I’d commission the world’s largest cat scratching post. Fully 250 feet tall.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR. When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Reskeet with a frog to scare ICE

Here's the TOTAL budgets of some other agencies that are being cut so the Admin can send $20B your tax dollars to their ideological friends: - EPA (clean air and water): $9.1B - NOAA (weather forecasts, warn if hurricane coming): $6.8B - DOE EERE (energy efficiency & renewable energy): $3.4B

I come from a family with a military tradition. This beer drinking wife-beater doesn't know shit about the military or what it stands for. Honor. Valor. Courage. SERVICE. Those are the values of the US Armed Forces.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Reminder that this BEAUTIFUL sapphic epic fantasy novel I wrote has two kickass women facing down a tyrant and smooching and you can pre-order it now!!!

Is me. I am "MORE!!!"

Oh heyyy “To Access Seven Obelisks, Press Enter” is listed on this! Yay! I truly hope people enjoy my queer cyberpunk story. 📚 Read the short story here: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/to-a... And go read all the awesome stories on this list! Always a joy and an honor to be included 💜

Donald Trump cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

Teachers: A "tremendous advocate for students, families, staff, and the community" School board: An "integral part of our school community" ICE trash: "Should be a wake-up call ... How this illegal alien was hired ... is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district"

A monstrously racist initiative and please be assured that anyone who supports it is indeed a monstrous racist.

Is now a good time to remind folk of the "Three Sentence Review"? #BookSky We used this on the little shelfcards in the bookstore when my booksellers were stuck—they could hand-sell like mad, but writing a review often stalled them out. This worked. (Any tropes are a great answer to #1, btw.)

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

“We’re gonna keep showing up till they stop abducting our neighbors” - @bradlander.bsky.social echoing his words @jfrejnyc.bsky.social gala once more after his arrest today. Great clip

Colbert spent the entire monolog on Kimmel and the FCC.

Stephen Colbert's opening monologue on 'The Late Show' "After threats from Trump's FCC chair, ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship ... With an autocrat, you can't give an inch ... If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive"

Gideon doesn’t want me to work.

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Let us reiterate: Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson, two MAGA politicians, are so virulently transphobic that they're calling for inhumane, illegal, unjustified punishment against people just for existing. Not for crimes, for existing. Mace and Jackson are evil.

Wow... 75% funded in less than a day!! Help us push our sapphic adventure anthology over the finish line!! 🏳️‍🌈😍🦄

Slightly diminish a book: The Tea Candle of the Vanities The Decent Gatsby The Pink Badge of Pluckiness The White Chocolate Kerfluffle

How is this not a screaming massive headline across every news site? This is insane, a virtual declaration of civil war. We fought a revolution to not be subjected to this kind of tyranny

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Good morning! Just a reminder that I have a new story out!

Call your reps - Ds and Rs - and tell them to publicly demand the resignation/firing of RFK, Jr. Tell them if you die of COVID, they will personally be responsible if they don't do something about this. reps.fyi
