without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

If you want to make a very tangible difference in the lives of unhoused people in DC during a nasty cold snap, Remora House is where to put your money. I just bought a tent off their wishlist for them. It’s easy

i do not want to know where authors get their inspiration. i do not care how they came up with their title. i do not want to learn about their writing process. i want to know who and what they are reading. thank you. #BookSky

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

@stephanieburgis.bsky.social this made me smile today so I’m passing it on (video of our put-away shelves)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I realize the NYT is pro-plague, pro-fascism, pro-neo-Nazi and pro-TERF and pro-genocide, but writing about Prasad and refusing to mention his minimizing, anti-mask, anti-vax crusade for the past several years is journalistic malpractice. This is not just some genteel scientific disagreement.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find

I've been thinking about the incredible work that @siembranc.bsky.social has been doing over the past few years ago and how so much of that work helped lay the groundwork for the community resistance that's taken place over the past few days across NC. I made a donation: www.siembranc.org

This administration isn't beating those nazi allegations.

A worthwhile read

I can't for the life of me remember the names of any of the Murderbot books

THE GLOWING LIFE OF LEEANN WU is out now! I hope you enjoy my novel about a magical midlife midwife dealing with generational trauma while discovering her true power. Available in print, ebook, and audio. Info and buy links here: rubylangwrites.com/the-glowing-...

After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian is out today so nobody has any excuse for reading anything else. This romance is like six coping mechanisms in a trench coat and not all of them are healthy, but everyone’s trying their best. I am desperate to hear other people react to it.

@surlyspice.bsky.social you'll be glad to know that our favorite is on here

Fucked up seeing someone else live the life you deserve

I can tell how I'm doing by how many times I fail to log in to things that I use all the time. It's not looking good today.

Speaking of reality show romances, @quicunquevult.bsky.social's *Audrey Lane Stirs the Pot* (releasing 12/9), is a delightful conclusion to the trilogy set in the world of Bake Expectations, a cozy cooking competition with a foul-mouthed producer who finally gets her happy ending! #romance #books

I have a day off tomorrow before seven consecutive days of work, so naturally I have *checks calendar* five appointments.

Tonight Little G asked me if I wanted to watch an hourlong video about Judith Butler with them. I couldn’t be happier!

Capitalism doesn't seek to fill needs other than greed of CEOs & shareholders. They build it first then try to convince you (or force you) to need it. GenAI was not a need. It's still not needed. It will never be needed.

yesterday @helgagrace.bsky.social and i made a whirlwind trip to #nyc for the tri-state #BookBuzz where we saw many dear ones, learned about spring 2026 releases and scored some excellent advance reader copies @libraryreads.bsky.social thanks friends!

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

5 hours left ⚠️ PLEASE share! I don’t know how else to express the urgency for these six families’ lives. With no support anymore, how will eat in persisting famine, protect their kids from the deadly cold in tents—deliver a baby in two weeks ⁉️ 389/1000 by tonight…

Librarians told 404 Media they are being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books that they need to wade through. AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, academics www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

I did not have the return of Kathryn Stockett on my Forthcoming Books Bingo Card #ReadersAdvisory #CollectionDevelopment #TriStateBuzz #Books

“The purpose of healthcare has increasingly become profit-making rather than a public service.”

"We have created an outdoor gear library but were afraid homeless people would check out the sleeping bags and tents" is certainly a look

if you see @helgagrace.bsky.social and me at #nela2025 ask us about @libraryreads.bsky.social we have swag for you!

I see that we are still gender essentializing and talking about boy and girl books SIGHHHHHH
