For no reason whatsoever now felt like a good time to remind you I wrote a book about the Moon. DEAD MOON is a fun, happy story about carefree people who love their job and their coworkers and nothing ever goes wrong and they all live happily ever after. Oh, there may also be a few zombies.

Everyone talking about Artemis II and people on the moon and the moon being haunted has reminded me that there’s this really cool book about zombies on the moon that everyone should read or listen to. a.co/d/09MtvDMt

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Outside the Chicago area ICE facility in Broadview this afternoon, people are gathered for what should have been a relatively uneventful press conference explaining what happened with US citizens detained by CBP on Friday. Folks are now running down the street bc their vehicles were just towed.

“Young people still have human rights, and that includes the right to access information and to associate with other people and to speak to the world. These laws are designed to diminish those rights,” EFF’s David Greene told @TheIntercept. theintercept.com/2026/03/05/...

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Been feeling crushed by everything, so sharing small things that have brought me joy. Audiobooks: I’ve been listening to Terry Pratchett and @tkingfisher.com and those books have helped a lot. A Game: A colleague introduced me to Type Help, and it is fantastic. william-rous.itch.io/type-help

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up. Really. Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer. Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

Kansas revoking IDs from trans folks overnight is somehow not trending, so sharing again just to keep eyes on it.

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion. I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP. www.qasimrashid.com/p/tennessee-...

Hey Maryland friends represented by Angela Alsobrooks! She just sent out a response to folks who are concerned about these bills leading to internet censorship and the silencing of vulnerable communities by saying... she is a co-sponsor of KOSA and KOMSA. Call/write NOW, while you still can!

The thing that's most mind-boggling about the current AI "adoption" is that the businesses hastily replacing human jobs while screaming "We have to adapt to compete!" are the ones that would THEMSELVES be entirely eliminated by the stated end game of AI.
