An Irish man who has been held in the US by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.

T shirt idea (artists, please make it happen): Miss Piggie, doing a karate chop, and the words "I'm LOUD! Hiya!"

That moment when you're sitting in a quiet, high-end chocolate shop, sipping your drink and reading your book, surrounded by similarly quiet folks. Then you come on a line that makes you laugh really really loudly and everyone stares at you... @tkingfisher.com

Absolutely incredible work here from @hankgreen.bsky.social:

Just finished @tkingfisher.com's new Sworn Soldier book -- a delight front to back, as always. I don't usually do horror but I'd follow Alex Easton anywhere (except maybe an abandoned coal mine...) I wonder if the author's been listening to Old Gods of Appalachia?

you know how when you know about a topic and someone gets it wrong, it ruins the whole thing? @hankgreen.bsky.social's focus friend is fine and all that but an average sock is thousands of stitches and days of physical labor. No way my bean could knit that many in an hour.

Woke up early to read the new @tkingfisher.com and found a line that recalled my daughter's passionate herpetological phase. I remember other adults looking at me like "please help?" and I'd respond with a look that said "I talked with your son for 20 minutes about trucks last week."

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

Joke's on Elon Musk. He can't defund the ACLU. They don't get any government funding. What an idiot.
