BIG NEWS: Today, we submitted over 5,000 signatures and officially filed to get on the ballot! Most politicians just pay a filing fee to get on the ballot. But to me, and to a lot of folks across southern Minnesota, $300 is a lot of money. So we chose the grassroots path instead:

Gas prices are skyrocketing. Our farmers and families are paying more every day. Our service members are in harm’s way. All because of this Iran War. Today, Brad Finstad was the deciding vote to keep it going. If I was in Congress, I'd vote to end this war.

Release day! Seattle, 1927. You’re a private eye in a city drenched in secrets. Crime isn’t the only thing lurking in Seattle’s misty streets: there are werewolves, vampires, and wizards. The wise citizen avoids the dark. But not you. anthonyeichenlaub.com/wizard-confi...

Josh from @cardsagainsthumanity.com and I teamed up with 4 awesome artists (@theoatmeal.bsky.social , @boxbrown.bsky.social , @shing.bsky.social , and one anonymous artist) to make anti-ICE urinal stickers you can pee on. Get yours for free at PeeToMeltICE.com bsky.app/profile/peet...

I made another trip to CD1 yesterday to join folks at their convention! Folks are ready to flip CD1 blue - and elect leaders that will fight tooth and nail for working families. Shout out to our next Congressman, Jake Johnson!

BIG NEWS: Our campaign was just endorsed by the DFL! Not only are DFLers united behind our campaign to solve problems and lower costs, but more Republicans and Independents were a part of the DFL endorsement process in MN-01 than any of the other 7 districts in MN.

Congratulations to @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social and all the DFLers working to turn southern Minnesota blue this November! CD1 deserves better than Brad Finstad, and now they've got a fantastic champion in Jake.

BIG NEWS: Our campaign raised $130K more than Rep. Brad Finstad this past quarter, and we did it without taking a dime from corporations. I'm so proud of the grassroots campaign we're building that's funded by real people right here in our communities.

Great article on the front page of yesterday’s Star Tribune about our campaign in southern Minnesota. The momentum behind our race is growing every day! www.startribune.com/after-years-...

We've raised over $1 million without taking a penny from corporations, and I'm grateful for everyone who has put their trust in our campaign:

Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.

Totally makes my day when one of my favorite authors puts a story of mine on s list.

GUIDE FOR FICTION-LOVERS READING POETRY FOR THE FIRST TIME: So you've only read fiction your whole life, and now people are yelling at you to nominate poems. How the hell do you figure out what's a good poem? Let a guy with three degrees in fiction + poetry + publishing tell you.

Nebula Ballots are due Sunday, March 1st. This is the the first year for the poetry and comics categories. If you have not submitted already, here is the link: www.sfwa.org/2025-nebula-.... #SFWA #Nebulas #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #NominationSeason

SFWA's funding drive is closing down and the amazing Veronica Roth has pledged a 3x match. SFWA's doing some incredible advocacy for writers in this crazy industry, and 3x is good math. Do with that what you will. www.sfwa.org/winter-world...

Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points. If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?

Federal immigration agents shot and killed ANOTHER citizen here in Minnesota today. This poorly-trained, well-funded militia needs to get off of our streets NOW.

Now for some sports news... (this week's cartoon for @theguardian.com books pages)

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

stop telling me it’s not surprising that, as an author in the forties, Asimov didn’t include many significant women in Foundation. the latest research indicates women may have existed since at LEAST 1922

The @3lobedmag.com Kickstarter is down to 49 hours and they're still $2839 away from their funding goal. I backed to get one of their snazzy T-shirts. If you haven't yet, it would be amazing if you could help them reach their goal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/asf...

This is like $800 away from hitting goal 2. Today's the last day to get it there. Let's go! #booksky

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

Good morning

#worldcon Is over and I’ve moved my adventure over to Olympic National Park, where the fantasy worldbuilding is actually quite well done.

Huge congrats to all the #hugoaward winners! Amazing work all around.

Arrived in Seattle for #worldcon, but had to first pay tribute to this troll we found under a bridge
