who's up ordering a dirty spiced chai with oat milk to assert you primacy, unique in the complexity of you desires, and stand apart from your nation’s simple rituals?

I've encountered this kind of BS when fundraising in the past, and it's enraging. Let's just support people, y'all. Their lives are not for our consumption.

medical/public officials on tv: i will do any and EVERYTHING TO GET YOU JUSTICE ppl in real life who are paid too little and overworked: i will do everything in my power (and a lil more) to help ppl in real life w power, degrees, and 6 figure paychecks: i will kill you and laugh about it

Yep can personally confirm that our work is paying heavily for the failing drives on our NAS. I wish I had personally picked up the ssd I was planning to way back in November.

Very grateful to @rude1.blacksky.team and everyone at @blackskyweb.xyz for all the work they've done to get Blacksky and its associated servers up and running. Feels like no matter what happens to the management of the main Bluesky server, there's a future here.

america is the land of opportunity. you could become a navy seal, and then even a US senator, and before you know it you’re breaking a marine veteran’s arm with no repercussions. greatest country on earth.

Iftar, Day 20

"[Cook County State's Attorney] O’Neill Burke rebuked the call for a special prosecutor... 'Yet there has been no federal or state investigation or prosecution of any [of] the individuals who perpetrated these offenses,” the firm said."

WELP, time for me to good to bed.

ah this is beautiful. Funny, clever, poignant, and so acute on all the things we promise ourselves about the future and deny ourselves in the present it almost hurts

this is good. bonus treat for cake* fans at the end! * the band

something i'm grateful for: the three people with nice dogs who let me pet them in brooklyn over the last two days. very good dogs. thank you.

A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz. @sophiesherry.bsky.social reports: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...

"The act of research is...without a defined beginning & ideally never ending; flowing like a stream, tumbling rocks we hope will one day take...shape. An embodied, often unwitting practice, research occurs through acts of reading, scrolling, chatting, listening, & revisiting."✨ - Olamiju Fajemisin

Octavia E. Butler said, “These novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales… The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That's why I write about them.” And “I hope they're not prophecy because I don't want to live in that world.”

Stuff like this is just designed to further normalize gAI use to write; to numb us to criticism; to humanize LLMs and dehumanize actual authors and artists: I detest this kind of bs

The 1st of those 3 questions has finally been answered, & I am desperately hoping that #2 & #3 will be less challenging, as I am down to less than 2 hours before the midnight EST deadline! 🥹 Getting emotional about the topic of this submission is not helping my productivity, but it is what it is! 🙃

this would fix us

Like June Jordan—inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s stance against the Vietnam War—said, it’s “evil and racist to punish, poison, pulverize, and decimate another people... people of the Third World.”

After Christianity, Islam is world’s second largest religion. The Asia-Pacific region is home to largest number of Muslims. While over 90% of residents of the Middle East-North African region are Muslim, they comprise only about a fifth of Muslims worldwide. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Iftar, Day 19

I present to you, the polemicist who published a hit piece on me in the NYT:

Sebastian has been scandalizing polite society with his scientific theories of sexual inheritance. But there’s one small problem. They’re not his theories. They’re Violet’s. /jb Amazon: www.amazon.com/Count... Apple: itunes.apple.com/us/...

When New Yorkers talk, we listen. Staten Island is getting expanded 3-K seats this fall, and free 2-K seats for fall 2027. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/nyregion/mamdani-childcare-expansion-3k.html

I cannot believe that the history books will be like "wwIII started on X, a site known for distributing CSAM..."

is this the prison camp in andor

I’ll be facilitating a writing seminar and workshop soon!

Fuck this guy.

YES. This. Sometimes when Im skimming through historical newspapers, Im struck by how much we suck as a collective, there are so many awful people around, and they always have been around.

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Kids grow fast, and so do we. This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
