He backed down and extended the "deadline" two weeks. This is good, but it's also terrorism. He is terrorizing the whole world worse than ever before by purposely using vague threats that insinuate nuclear warfare. He must be removed from office for the threat alone.

He's fucking with us all. Getting off on the seismic impacts and psychic damage of every move he makes, word he says. Malignant narcissism on a global scale. When does it end?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

this (onion) article is nearly 12 years old "At press time, representatives from the world’s leading economies had signaled that they would continue to heavily rely on fossil fuels until they had something more than an overwhelming scientific consensus to go on."

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

When people in the future ask what America was show them this

Home and drained after a lively #AWP2026, my first. A highlight was seeing the new issue of OSU The Journal at booth 232 and getting to thank the wonderful editorial team for publishing my story. Excited to read the whole issue!

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

Take a postcard and send it to us! If you’re at AWP, stop by @hvwriterscenter.bsky.social (table T603) We’ll post our favorites here! (All work will be considered for publication too!)
