This is so so so important. Take the few minutes it takes to read it and be prepared for summer swimming.

We added the Southern Coalition for Social Justice this year because the recent attacks on the VRA are an existential threat to voting rights in the South, and we want to support people who have been in the fight against racist voter suppression this whole time. southerncoalition.org/our-story/

We supported @voteriders.bsky.social in 2024 because of the important work they do in helping people navigate ID laws (increasingly important as they keep changing!) and their dedication to getting folks to the polls--a thing we will need more than ever this fall! We're happy to do so again!

Hey y'all! In 2026 we are partnering with Rainbow Broomfield to manage donations to help cover some of the administrative costs of the auction. We can turn $5 in shipping sponsorship into $25 - $50 for our orgs! This year we're supporting Vote Riders & The Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

In normal times, the fact that government officials at HHS blatantly lied to the public and got caught would be a scandal of unusual size. Everyone involved in this disinformation scheme against the people of the United States should be held accountable.

Fell a little behind on review books, partly because I turned two of them into longer ones!! Tragic, that too many good reads will do that. XD Anyway, some other book commentary from my March / April reads

Amendment 4 will appear on our primary ballots on August 4, 2026. It would require a majority in EVERY congressional district to pass amendments brought by the people of Missouri — BUT amendments brought by politicians could still pass with a simple statewide majority.

This is flame jetting. As people begin to spend more time outdoors, CPSC continues to warn about the dangers of tabletop fire pits and flame jetting. Stop using tabletop fire pits. Never pour fuel over an open flame.

“Amendment 4 effectively kills the IP process for citizens, while empowering the Legislature, which can still propose amendments for the ballot with simple majority votes in each chamber,” Charton said. No on 4 in August!

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

One in five manga artists and illustrators in Japan say AI has already cut into their income. Some have been undercut by cheap AI output; others have had original work rejected by flawed AI-detection tools. Here's how the industry is responding.

A new book on Venice and the Mongols!!! Co-authored by Nicola di Cosmo who has done much fascinating work on exchanges ('Mongols and Merchants on the Black Sea Frontier'; Empires and Exchanges.) Mongol-Italian exchanges have been a particularly promising area: commerce, art. Grrreat to have a book.

Oh boy howdy yes. Everyone whose publisher failed to register copyright even if, say, they were CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGED TO DO SO, why not let the Authors Guild know? @societyofauthors.bsky.social will you be following this up too?

It's me again, here to tell you that if you come in early and give us a follow, we'll have a cute little Common Bonds 3 zine for you. :D I had a lot of fun putting it together so I just... insist you come see it. XD (and also I really want to hit 300!!) www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

A bill to approve building the museum was expected to receive a vote in Congress today, but consideration was postponed after an hour of debate. The Democratic Women’s Caucus has pulled support after Republicans amended the legislation to require that the museum exclude transgender women.

New story day! “The Stars Look Away From This Vessel” is now available to read (or listen to) at @lightspeedmagazine.com 🚀 www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-...

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

Great rundown on immigrants deploying habeus corpus to get released from detention.
