Thanks to Crow & Cross Keys for taking this weird baby of mine.

"...his truck is Frankensteined together with different-colored panels, rust holding them all together. There’s a hole in the floorboard..." Bright, lyrical new #fiction from @jodymkeene.bsky.social | www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/jody... #dihpturns2 Art @anchalastudio.bsky.social

It’s my pub day! Check out my new story in @doesithavepockets.bsky.social 2nd anniversary issue here: www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/jody...

I got an acceptance! My flash piece “I Haunt the House” was picked up by @crowkeys.bsky.social!

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Went to text my poet group chat and accidentally gave Jeffrey Goldberg the scoop on the moon

CBC’s Barton shows exactly why intelligent, accomplished people hesitate to run for office. Even when they follow the rules—something Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 has been clear about from day one—they are subjected to relentless badgering, humiliation and verbal attacks from MSM. #cdnpoli

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇 Well, are you?! Better start. ✨

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Have FUN!!!!! #Anonymous

Arkansas people! This bill is bad news. DM me for a script and personal phone number to send it to. www.arkansasonline.com/news/2025/fe...

Had dinner tonight with a group of people praising Trump’s Oval Office interaction with Zelenskyy. It’s so eye opening to see how his supporters think in real time. Terrifying, but eye opening.

Watching some old Indiana Jones movies to remember what it was like when it was obvious the Nazis were the bad guys.

I sometimes think that people will just "hear about" my book. But I don't think that actually happens unless I'm actively getting them to hear about it. My book MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US comes out May 6. Will you help me get the word out by sharing this post? bookshop.org/p/books/magi...

Made my first calls using 5calls today. It’s free in the App Store!

When I read too much news and I begin to feel absolutely overwhelmed and defeated, I'm surely not joking when I say: I put on Kendrick Lamar, I close my eyes, and I think about how best to funnel my absolute hatred of this administration. It snaps me out of it EVERY time.

Are there any Agatha Christie fanatics out here? I’m rewatching Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express and ugh. I need to vent.

PLEASE SHARE.

I’m rewatching Don’t Look Up on Netflix. What seemed funny/tragic in 2021 seems incredibly realistic now.

Rewatching Don’t Look Up on Netflix. It was funny/ironic when it came out, but now it’s funny/we’refucked.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent. truthout.org/articles/tes...

I am incandescent with rage. How dare he! He doesn’t give two fucks about the arts. Leave us the arts! That tinpot dictator can go straight to hell www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

So we’re going to pretend everything is fine here in the US, and my biggest problem right now is the dishwasher didn’t actually wash my dishes last night so now I have too many in the sink and fuck these fascists.

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

This might be important to someone you know. Please pass it on.
