In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

I'm 33 today. Birthdays are always a bit weird for me, but, if you'd like to celebrate it, you could share this post with my art and my portfolio attached. ;) Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com

It’s Monday, the gyre is widening, and I am once again asking for your support. My Republican opponents have loaned themselves $50k and $100k respectively, trying to make it look like they have large support. I believe a candidate should be for the people. www.efundraisingconnections.com/c/Kluwe/

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+. That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

“It's not a safe time to be a woman," said one of my patients. "With someone like that in power, abusers can basically do whatever they want to us.” My latest for medpagetoday.com @lindseyboylan.bsky.social #medsky #epstein #trump www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

"As limited as the recognition of Palestine – a state with no territory or sovereignty – is, it is a step in the right direction, because it re-establishes the existence and the rights of Palestinians as individuals and as a collective" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

It's been 8 years since Hurricane Maria hit PR. Since then, reconstruction has been selective and gentrified. Tarps still cover roofs in remote and poor areas, our power system is a joke and our coastlines are being taken over by billionaire investors. Madre de Dios, digital painting 2018

Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...

In a dozen beautiful ways, canceling streaming services in favor of checking out DVDs from the local library has changed my relationship with media. 11/10. Highly recommend

Our brains are not wired to comprehend presidential corruption on this scale. Nor is our government, I fear, equipped to address a financial scandal as enormous as the one. trib.al/RdNHhC6

I had some thoughts about people saying that "debate me bro" trolling is somehow the height of democratic discourse.

I keep thinking we're radically underestimating the psychological and affective impact the climate crisis is having on us. In a worst-case scenario, in a historical treatment of the period we're in now, it would be at the heart of the epochal end time, not a preceding period or prelude to the end.

Art for art’s sake, but then also other sakes

once I was in a room in the ER at 4am and we were channel surfing and landed on, car wrestling? like two dudes in the front seat of a car, fighting. announcers on point. anything is sports and I love that

This is gonna rock! Women’s sports anthology from Lifeline Comics :

I quite liked The Long Walk but mostly I really liked how it wasn’t a tv show

Too many education bureaucrats and administrators are in the pocket of corporate interests. The deeply corrupt laziness of policy makers who push AI into our schools must be resisted by everyone who cares about quality education. pivot-to-ai.com/2025/09/13/c...

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Since this is an "illustration without a story" I cheerfully welcome you to write your own. (No AI please, though. I painted this by hand, you can write words yourselves.)

Judith Butler: "It is important to refuse the notion that this is just how things are right now, invoking a feckless realpolitik that justifies complicity with a brutal and rising authoritarianism."

In late June, Google quietly scrubbed its pledge to hit net zero by 2030 from its sustainability website as it goes full steam ahead on hyperscale data centers and generative AI.

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.

it's true lol

Weimar "illustrates the dangerous logic of abdication: the belief that, faced with a rising threat to democracy, surrender is strategy, cooperating with an autocrat is survival, and sparing oneself or one’s party from immediate punishment is worth opening the door to long-term authoritarian rule"

It’s officially almost spooky season so please enjoy this new poem about creepy-crawlies, xenobiology, and the glorious Snake Nebula at @eunoiareview.bsky.social 🐍

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.

A new poem about the things you can do to other people’s bodies, inspired by James Merrill’s “A Pact with the Astrologer”… Thank you to @eunoiareview.bsky.social !

This is such a good, clever marketing idea!

it’s really, really time to get creative & courageous in what we do to keep each other from harm. no one deserves to be abandoned. will the usual ways work? maybe, but they’re not all we have.

If you think that @rweingarten.bsky.social & the @aft.org should NOT be partnering with murderous companies like OpenAI, please call the AFT, ask for the president's office, and tell them to STOP PUSHING "A.I." INTO SCHOOLS. (Pls be nice to the person answering the phone.) 202-879-4400
