My friends, you MUST follow Chanda. Please waste no time.

The canceled TV show you'll never stop thinking about (First Kill was so much of what people claim to want in a Netflix show, but didn't know what to do with, when they got it. Especially since the Black Woman who was co-lead? Was positioned as the person to be romantically chased. Too damn rare!)

This Rosa Parks Day, let us remember her and learn from her example--challenging powerful forces with courage and determination and working with others to change the world for better.

Free Palestine lit??? Free Palestine lit. 🇵🇸 🍉 📚 ✨

It’s official: this is now my best book sales month ever 🥹 What that means, specifically: the Maidensong Magica series has sold 771 copies this month. This is also the “Magica Riot: Full Bloom” launch month, and it accounts for 563 of those. 🥹

I like a lot of the work Indivisible does but imo it cheapens boycotts as a tactic to call them for multiple retailers at once, and to deploy them repeatedly during price drop events. Pick one target and go hard. Which is what happened with Lenten Target boycotts, incidentally.

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Calling RFK "The Most Powerful Man in Science" is like calling Jason Voorhees "The Most Powerful Man in Camp Counseling."

I always suggest that people think about what urban centres like New York or London were like 150 years ago — dangerous, unbelievably polluted air and water, desperately inequitable, few trees or green space. And then imagine building the cities where we look back to *today* and see the same thing.

remember: columbo isn't a cop. he's a fae with a strong sense of justice, who shows up to crimes and glamours people into thinking he's a cop. that's why he doesn't carry a gun: the cold iron

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

But when the writer is a Billionaire funding Transphobia...

This is the imperial playbook. The western nation breaks a country, then they go look at those savages with a broken country.

I'm so happy for everyone who worked on this movie, it's what she deserves 🥲🥲🥲

The struggle over history, from Wounded Knee to Thanksgiving to ICE detentions, is not a debate about the past. It is a struggle over who defines America and whose humanity matters. A nation that cannot face its own history cannot repair its present. truthout.org/articles/the...

Happy Thanksgiving

Whole thread is good but this post is key.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).

They should dump Nuzzi and bring back the Teen Vogue political reporters group.

God this is so motivating.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Stanley Nelson directed an excellent documentary, “Tulsa Burning” for the 100mph anniversary. Russell Westbrook produced it. I believe it’s on Hulu, and definitely worth watching.

Isaac Chotiner like my editors haven't assigned me a new act of violence in two whole weeks I gotta start freelancing

I’ve said it before and will say it again, trans southerners, especially trans Texans and Floridians, are operating on an entirely different astral plane than those of us based in safer (relatively) locations. Like the level of commitment & courage & radical joy is beyond words.

they really have the lady botching trans care coverage turning to autism next

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...

Have I really worked my whole life just so a bunch of insolent, upstart kids can tell everyone me and my mates were racist war criminals and bastards to be reviled? And I’m afraid the answer is: Yes, lads. You can burn the grass but you can never hold back spring.

Please, don’t even hate watch it.

We need it. Not only are the classes full, but also concert halls, libraries - we've gone to a bunch of classical concerts this year as an antidote to despair and guess what - they are full. They were not as full before, but they are now. "Humanities are shrinking" is artificially imposed top down.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

it's funny that the white British artists who listened to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and were inspired to rap as a result were ... not too shabby at it actually youtu.be/p3j2NYZ8FKs

Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.

Please hear me when I say that 1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements 2) they pre-date the age of social media 3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

I loved this essay, and really do recommend reading it. Three concerns: 1) despite repeated mention of Women in Indian SF early on, that stops with the rhetorical question 2/3rds in, 2) these images look, to my eye, like GenAI, which is disappointing in a work discussing unacknowledged art.

i love how bsky posters are so eager to appear worldly and wise that they'll jump to say "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED????" to the craziest shit that's ever happened. if bluesky existed on 9/11/01 you fucking bet these people would out here with "obviously, everyone with a brain cell could see this coming"

The final work from artist M.D. "Doc" Bright, The Center Holds, alongside writer Larry Hama, will be released by BOOM! Studios next year.

Posting up in my timeline about the bodies of the women on a Certain Press Tour is a great way to earn an Unfollow from me, if not a Mute/Block. I thought we all learned this fuckin' lesson, about speculatin' on Al Gore's Internet about people's health. WTF!

It's almost like there's a global shift towards right-wing authoritarian nationalism happening everywhere that manifests itself differently in different countries depending on their history and culture and no one country should be smug about another country's specific manifestation!
