BREAKING: Further confirmation that the shooter targeted immigrant detainees, not #ICE agents. All three #shooting victims were people ICE was holding and processing at the center. The shooter died of a self inflicted would and has been described as a white male www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-...

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

So LANDLORDS are now trying to rob artists and creators of their work in advance because they now often create and work where they live? I do the work, but you get the rights forever because I'm paying you for a roof over my head? WTF? Anyway, don't sign anything without reading carefully, kids.

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

I have not said anything for Sapphic September. Support/buy/share Sapphic art and books! Mine and everyone else's. Thank you. This has been a PSA: A Public Sapphic Announcement. Have a goth day.

Every day I can feel my component systems just creaking under the stress-pressure of the current state of the world, most especially as a sexuality and gender studies scholar lmao

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

In case anyone else feels like they're screaming into a void about their work these days, please remember there are countless readers who aren't on social media who have probably read + loved your work without ever saying a word. (Another reason why having a website is so important.)

This is all he said.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Authors:

In all seriousness, Vance’s unhinged diatribe really reminds me that this country is in dire straits. I can’t even wrap my mind around how bad things are and how impossible everything feels. How are we supposed to stay here and write and stay like… alive?

To be a writer, you only have to do one thing: write. Not break into a big magazine. Not publish a bestseller. Not get an extravagant book tour. Struggling with discouragement? Rejection? Bad reviews? These are normal. They don't disqualify us. If you put words to the page, then we are peers.

It means so much to me to share that Green Fuse Burning won the Indie Ink Writing the Future We Need Award for Indigenous Representation by an Indigenous Author!!! 💚🌿

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Breaking — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Colt Hagmaier just resigned in an email to staff. He's worked at the agency for more than a decade. Hagmaier's resignation comes immediately after two FEMA employees were placed on leave for comments about Charlie Kirk. Text of his email shared with me:

This speech is now an Emmy winner.

I think if you use an AI image to promote a call for submissions, then nobody should submit to your book or magazine or whatever. I also think you should quit. Find something else to do.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Lol they bleeped Hannah Einbender saying Fuck ICE

Love to see racism completely dismantle an industry.

Me, with my debut out on Tuesday

26 Police Officers were injured in Londons fascist riots, but only 9 people were arrested. At last week's Palestine Action protest 0 Police Officers were injured, but nearly 900 people were arrested. The UK govt is chasing Reform votes & colluding with fascism, home & abroad. #fightfascism

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

the world will have to learn what “groypers” are and i don’t think the average boomer is ready for that

I see, fighting antisemitism by putting Jewish names on a list and giving it to the government so they can decide punishment.

This is how it's supposed to work www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
