Ok, everyone, this is the LAST WEEKEND you can preorder SideQuested Book1! All preorders help us convince our Publisher that we should publish the WHOLE series, not just the two first books! Plus, the book is BEAUTIFUL, has spot gloss, an exclusive chapter, and it's CHONKY!😱 sidequested.com/book/

Judge now moving on to other filings with other errors, which are obviously not affected by the same "I accidentally overwrote my file" explanation

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power. Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

This. A thousand times this.

Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner. You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

On my blog, I posted the speech I gave at WisCon last year, because I've been thinking a lot about that story about the guy throwing starfish back in the water. naomikritzer.com/2026/02/07/m...

Challenge accepted! I am raising rent funds for a Minneapolis family with four kids. They owe a month of back rent for $3975 total. Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please help and share! Thank you 💛

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!

Exciting to see the ways that people are remembering and advocating for the President's House! Thanks @literaturegeek.bsky.social #SaveOurSigns zinebakery.com/bakeshop/cen....

Help protect Maine from ICE. I'm donating to Food For All, and if you: - repost this, I'll donate $1 - call your representative, tell them to ABOLISH ICE, and quote-post this with whether you got a machine or a staffer on the phone, I'll donate $10 - quote-post this with your donation, I'll match!

Our friends in the twin cities probably didn't expect to wake up to an empty wish list, but they have added some more requests now! You know what would really piss off the weirdos? pop-up leftist supply depot fuzzy socks. 💓

Here is a wonderful site that gives you a ground-level view of the slavery exhibits that were removed from the President's House Historic Site yesterday in Philadelphia. #NationalParks tks-vtours.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/PresidentsHo...

"There is no way to win against repression except by overwhelming love for your neighbor... "Next time you do something for the resistance...do it for Alex Pretti...hug each other. Love each other. Fight for each other." #nokings #notyranny lexingtonalarm.org/we-are-all-m...

My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help. We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today. Let’s make a list of things that could help.

New DRP post on #SaveOurSigns and the recent removals in #Philly and Fort Sumter. 🛟 Please share and let us know if you see removals. You can also submit "after" photos you may take of the removals. www.datarescueproject.org/sos-only-the...

We have the signs in our #SaveOurSigns archive: sites.google.com/umn.edu/save... And we will continue to remember our history, both of those who were enslaved and those who fought to recognize their lives. They cannot stop us.

The visa freeze starts on Jan. 21st, so we must act now. You can join us by calling on Congress to publicly oppose the visa freeze, demand oversight, and take action to restore immigrant visa processing. Send a letter now: stopaapihate.org/fight-trumps-visa-freeze/

THREAD of offers of guest lectures (via Zoom) for Minneapolis-area classes so faculty can offer their students a top-quality education while dealing with other crises Seeing tons of extremely generous offers. I'll try to post 'em all here--please add your own w topics you can cover & how to contact

Yeah, no.

Massachusetts: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: BYSTANDERS IN ICE ENCOUNTERS Bystanders to ICE enforcement actions have the right to observe ICE officers and record the encounter from a reasonable distance, so long as they do not interfere with the officers. More at: mass.gov/AGO/immigrantresources alt-text

You represent public libraries, @libbyapp.com. Please know that everyone who is giving you negative feedback right now FUCKING ADORES PUBLIC LIBRARIES. And the people who most love libraries also hate "A.i." and don't want it in our books. Stand up for us and change this terrible policy.

Donate any amount to unidos-mn.org, reply here, and I'll assign you an obscure bird species. Any takers? unidos-mn.org

Our lawmakers have a responsibility to do everything in their power to rein in ICE. The abuses won't stop without our collective action. Silence is complicity. Demand that Massachusetts lawmakers take a stand and pass urgent reforms to rein in ICE. www.aclum.org/ICE

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

Just finished this … amazingly incisive, myth-busting, and thought-provoking. It also ends on a hopeful note about the power of individuals to influence things even with huge forces at work, which is much needed right now given, er *waves at reality*

On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

You can do this. You can do SOMETHING.

Someone who is more organized than me put them on a linktree, with our GFM that covers shipping & supplies. (And when we have too much money in there, we send it to folks in cities who need stuff immediately, like we did today!) linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

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

Thanks! Added it to @resist.bot

Hey, so it's my birthday🎂 (I'm 44!!)🎉 and instead of asking to repost my illustrations, I'll ask you to let everyone know that Side Quested Book1 is in preorder, to be launched in March! Everyone deserves to enjoy some chaotic fantasy comedy! ❤️🎶 And it's *still* free to read online! 🌟

DHS wants mug shots, fingerprints, palm prints, iris & retina scans, voiceprints, & DNA samples from anyone "associated with" any applicant for US admission, residency, or citizenship: papersplease.org/wp/2026/01/0... Submit comments before midnight ET tonight: www.regulations.gov/document/USC...

For the 1st Shabbat of 2026, 10 things (in no particular order) that this rabbi humbly suggests each of us can do to make 2026 more sustainable than 2025. Note that these will look different for each of us because we have different capacities and professional/personal demands. That's ok.

We need this kind of book more than ever. I for one would preorder this in a heartbeat.

Also: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Publishing, let me write a media literacy book, I am begging you. I keep being told that there's no appetite for this... But how can there NOT be, when it's an urgent and pressing issue, especially with how we aggregate news + use of AI?

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social. I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI. A few thoughts for your consideration...

A thread of questions for @rweingarten.bsky.social and the @aft.org, who are celebrating their partnership with OpenAI and Anthropic to push "A.i." onto teachers and students.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.
