Reading this now and it is fabulous

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Home again and indulging in a bubble tea from my little local place

I so appreciate the crucial work @propublica.org is doing. I support them with a monthly contribution. I wish I could support more Indie news organizations but I do what I can afford.

The first Chicago River swim in 98 years! The water is now clean enough. Congratulations to the hundreds of swimmers completing the swim this morning!

Random book-promo post! If you've enjoyed my Inverted Frontier series but never encountered the companion novel MEMORY, I hope you'll check it out. It's the story of Jubilee and Jolly in the before-times. mythicisland.com/memorypage.php #escapeReality

I woke up this morning with a memory of having woken up during the night with a truly perfect premise for a novella-length series but since I have no clue what that premise was, I don't know if I did literally have such an idea or only dreamed that I did. lolsigh

Absofuckinglutely this. And if you have Sinclair/Nextar station, post the local ads to spread the word. It's helpful if you identify the date/time/program.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Wait, if Jimmy Kimmel is cancelled then who is going to do all those cute BTS interviews next year when the new album releases?

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

once again taking convenient mass transit to an airport - this is the life. i love mass transit.

Nemik actor Alex Lawther “had no idea” that Nemik’s manifesto in the ANDOR finale was going to resonate so strongly with fans. “Because of Tony's cleverness, I get to sort of live on in a way. But I wish I hadn't been killed by that trolley full of credits.” (Source: Polygon)

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

Journalist, historian, and novelist Pauline Hopkins wrote the science fiction novel "Of One Blood: Or, The Hidden Self" in 1902. She was born in 1859! There's racial passing, ghosts of student's dead enslaved mother, voodoo, séances, an Egyptian expedition where advanced "Negro" society is found.

traveling abroad (outside the USA) reinforces the knowledge that the world must pay close attention to the situation in the USA while meanwhile the USA often takes a provincial & often disinterested view of the rest of the world.

Headed home to the cruel clown car regime show today after 2 weeks in Denmark. Truly, it is possible to live with social welfare (where people fare well) as a guiding principle of a society because Denmark started shifting their goals in the late 19th c. I'll be reading up on this & get back to you.

if you ever wondered what I would be like without all that SFF nonsense I keep banging on about, this is your chance to find out! Verona in Autumn is on sale now #booksky - also other titles, but most importantly, it's MEEEEEEE!

#TuesdayBlue This might be the last in the DC quilt series thst I have. This one is the Eisenhower Executive Office Building by Nancy B. Adams from Annandale, Virginia. I looked for some images of the building to see where she found her inspiration. I'll attach a photo.

The 1st episode of the new pod-miniseries I'm hosting at @issuesinst.bsky.social is out now! I talk with spec-fic writer & anthropologist of tech @boriscrito.bsky.social about the slow disaster of data centers, the rapid disasters of hurricanes in the Caribbean, & the ways we envision the future:

Denmark is on track to wipe out the most dangerous strains of HPV. New data shows the vaccine has all but wiped out HPV16 and HPV18. It's a powerful proof point for what widespread, equitable vaccine coverage can do. buff.ly/3do5Sfo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Last full day in Denmark and peeps, I have to tell you, it has been so relaxing not to be in the USA. Slowly gearing up for the return to the regime. A better world truly is possible if we continue to work and fight for it.

Oh my interview with Tatler Asia is out, cool!! Thanks @gavingrant.bsky.social 😊

am at an electronica house concert (small casual venue) in copenhagen and it is fun to be here but my gosh why does it have to be so loud she said ironically given how loud she turned up Led Zeppelin records back in high school (yes i am wearing concert ear plugs)

I keep thinking about how the regime is burning through money that could be saving lives, promoting human welfare & scientific research, building infrastructure, etc, but instead it is all grievance, "payback," punish, control, harm, censor, and make the world worse

Very generous words, to which I will add that the second half of the duology, THE NAMELESS LAND (a title that will have specific resonance once one has read the first book), drops on November 4, 2025 (yes, this year, in about 6 or 7 weeks!)

"The US insists no one has died because of aid cuts. Shahnaz and her baby's deaths are not recorded anywhere. Neither are countless others. The BBC has documented at least half a dozen first-hand, devastating accounts in areas where USAID-supported clinics have shut down."

Look, I’m not saying that this photo of a really pleasing dry stone wall in front of spectacular mountain scenery will improve your morning even a tiny bit but yes actually that is exactly what I’m saying.

It has been very strange being in Denmark (as i am right now) and watching the American news flash past on bsky etc while having to try to explain it all to baffled Danes who are already appalled and baffled by USA politics. Anyway, how relaxing to be in Denmark right now, honestly.

Maybe this is small and insignificant in light of 👋, but a really nice thing that happened today is that a student told me she’s getting really into the commonplace book assignment I’m having them do and thinks she’s retaining a lot more from her reading as a result of it.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Have some good news: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

JD’s mom was not getting drugs from cartels, she was a nurse who was stealing painkillers from her patients. Her patients suffered and she got high. As a medical professional, I will tell you the lowest life form is someone who steals drugs from their patients. Zero sympathy for JD or his mom.

Another great review:

These three have been holding a sit in on the Missouri house floor for over 48 hours to stop the redistricting vote. This should be the biggest story of the weekend. This should’ve been the biggest story of the last two days, but we can’t go back in time. www.threads.com/@jeremydean4...

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
