Minneapolis.

They want you to see this and unionize less. You may be next, etc etc, the fear. But the lesson must be: Unionize MORE. One team, one department, one studio protected? Shut down. *Every* studio protected? They can't shut them all down (without trashing the shareholder value, their only KPI).

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

when shane asks if he should take off his shoes at ilya's place? that's my asian representation right there 😤

i miss when this guy was the only LLM

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

it is kind of wild that you can just be watching a fuckin hitler pop off and start invading places and snatching heads of state for a second act, but if you say the thing that you want to happen to him in order to stop that, it would be considered violent

Realized recently that I'm extremely burned out from *waves at past 6 months* but I didn't recognize it until now because my antidepressants made me feel chill about it instead of agonized. Brains are weird!

Amphibia 😤 Okay, I have not watched many shows (or even season 2 of Andor) but Amphibia DOES slap. Those frogs are cookin'

This should be major news: literally dozens of book bans in Canada today, because of a ministerial order by Alberta's provincial government. The titles are being withheld by the school districts... I think Canadians have a right to know what books are being banned in our public schools.

Jason’s uncle was kidnapped by ICE on the same day that Jason was inaugurated to his third term on Minneapolis City Council. Please donate and share. Jason does so much for our community and it’s time for us to give back.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

Europe’s failure to condemn Trump’s illegal aggression in Venezuela isn’t just wrong – it’s stupid | Nathalie Tocci

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

THIS: "When the mere depiction of LGBTQ people is framed as a personal injury, the law is no longer protecting religious freedom. It’s just enforcing religious fragility, the idea that public schools always need to work around the most intolerant parent in the system."

I oppose the Trump-Vance administration’s unauthorized and unconstitutional military actions in Venezuela. America does not need another ill-conceived ‘forever war.’ Trump can’t even run our country well and now he’s focused on trying to run another one. Read my full statement:

“Make sure you run the next imperialist coup by congress first,” is not actually a good response to this

First book of 2026 is finished, and it took me a minute—I got stuck around chapter 12 bc there’s no horror quite like that of a teenage girl about to get in trouble with a parent—but I pushed through and can honestly say This Is My Body is a new favorite ♥️ thank you @lindsaykingmiller.bsky.social !

Okay, in personal writing news - educators/librarians - the galley for my @henryholtbooks.bsky.social | @mackidsbooks.bsky.social picture book debut THE GREAT PUMPKIN PANCAKE PARTY is up on Edelweiss: www.edelweiss.plus?sku=12503759... Please enjoy!

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

three bylines, six months late, almost zero new information we hadn't reported months ago. lowercased our name and mentioned deep in the story. no link to us. said they couldnt find the govt privacy document (we did). good job wall street journal

Right. I have at least ONE THING to look forward to in the second half of this year (I heard @everinamaxwell.bsky.social mention this last year at Eastercon and I was sold even then): torpublishinggroup.com/call-me-trai...

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

ok but not congress

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things. Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years. Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US. Shareholders are demanding they settle. Keep boycotting.

I generally do think China will be emboldened after events in Venezuela, with this new precedent in international affairs--even if Chinese threats against Taiwan were not exactly new

I feel like I am inching towards a position of temperance on gambling like we need to shut it all down everywhere for a year and give people a time out.

It's quite incredible how this poor and inaccurate tool has been prioritised and integrated *so* effectively that I regularly have people tell me something they've 'looked up' and I have to say 'you're not just reading the AI overview are you' and they are. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

palestinians protested for george floyd while being genocided. koreans protested for gaza under the threat of martial law. i promise you we can go harder.

Philadelphia join the protest at City Hall at 2 PM!

the reason they don’t bother to manufacture the consent beforehand is that everyone just sort of does it for them post-facto now

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

Time to dust this one off again

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

One thing I would like in 2026 is to have more copy editing work coming in! I’m a developmental editor at heart but people don’t freelance that out as much and I’m good at CE as well. If you’re involved in freelance CE hiring for any presses besides S&S (who I already do work for) pls get in touch!
