Very good video that adds some important context to the Supreme Court stuff from yesterday

This is super-broad, but for me, a core appeal of genre fiction, especially SFF, is that characters have a real chance to change their world in a big, meaningful way. The Empire can be defeated, the Ring can be destroyed, the lost kingdom can be restored, the broken people can be healed.

The plays and poems of William Shakespeare were written by William Shakespeare. There is no mystery about this, and no conspiracy. Nobody alive at the time or for 200 years afterward had any doubts or questions about this.

I’ve got a joke about Penelope, but I can never quite get to the

Emergency! We got Take the Fall re-lettered and I'm sending it out to you all as we speak. But I need to make 2k in 48 hours to keep us housed another month. So here's what I'm offering: Digital bundles 1 & 2, for $95 each. I need to sell 25 of them. tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/digi...

i love to do a little joke but in reality things are challenging and I have been navigating some really challenging mental health issues after years of abuse, conversion therapy, and corrective rape– this pride month if you would like to help me get closer to my service dog goal that would be so rad

As someone currently teaching Gender and Sexuality in YA Literature, I would love it if you supported Melissa who was fired for talking about Gender in Children’s Literature

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

*ezra klein guy voice* The problem with the left is that they've lost the willingness to speak reasonably with their opponents, such as this guy I interviewed recently who easily conned me into supporting eugenics

"You do not need the strongest powers of observation to see that crime is a pretext — and not the main reason — for the military occupation of Washington by federal agents and soldiers from the National Guard."

Sisyphus must just hate rock & roll

Man it really sucks when someone just takes your government funding away out of nowhere on a whim

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Hades, Anubis, Hel. I just like cheering for an undergod.

Larry waited for hours to voice his support for an anti trans bill in Wisconsin. While outside, he listened for a long time, to trans folks & parents of trans kids. He changed his mind. Be like Larry.

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Vote Doug Ford out. Housing starts for single-family homes are at a 69-year low. Healthcare is in total collapse. We're spending our tax dollars funding private procedures. Doug Ford said he loves the Westons. Doug Ford's hats are made by a guy who hosted a MAGA election party. Fuck Doug Ford.

It’s weird how the people who insist I should be proud of my country are exactly the ones who make me ashamed of my country

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

Remember when you're making a donation to a charity you support that grant funders prefer regular donors donating small amounts monthly to lump sums because it shows continuing support – turn that $60 into $5 a month, it counts more.

The GOP is literally telling you that their main policy goal is to ethnically cleanse the country.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

In Jack Kirby & Stan Lee’s Fantastic Four #51 (1966), no one punches anyone and few characters use their powers. There’s no world-ending threat and no one defeats a villain or even fights one. Which is precisely what makes it one of the best single issues of the #SilverAge. 1/12

I'm nervous to try posting this, putting myself out there like this... But the fact is: I've written 68 comics for publishers. But my last new issue came out ten years ago, now. I've shown I can't do this all by myself. I need some help. And some luck. Any chance you can help? Even w/an RT? 🖤

My father would womanize, he would start land wars with Denmark. He would make outrageous claims like claiming ownership of Greenland. Sometimes he would refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

"Okay ladies, so this is why we don't mix fonts on the covers..."

Still the best two sentences on climate action.

The fact that Han Solo’s son’s name is Ben which is Hebrew for son just proves my theory that Han Solo’s full name is Hanukkah Solomon.
