This is so fucking evil & cruel

There are only two eps of STRIP LAW left & I cannot bear it

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

@avilewis.ca just fyi your lewisforleader dot ca email keeps getting tagged as a phishing scam

I hate it when a passing dog starts barking at me because it can detect my werewolf nature, forcing me to quietly growl back at them to establish my status as an apex predator so they stop barking and try to run away, which causes their owners to wonder out loud what has gotten into them

The first episode of Strip Law made me scream several times, if you’re wondering you should watch it (you should).

I just read Thornhedge by @tkingfisher.com and I'm in absolute delight. This and @amalelmohtar.com The River Has Roots are living in my heart with the stories from @catvalente.bsky.social The Orphan's Tales. Fairytales with teeth, a cup of tea, and a snowy night.

Hey, New Yorker, sitting at home, or a friend’s place, scrolling on your phone as the snow comes in? Want to take a quick moment to support our public libraries? It is easy-peasy, and libraries are an absolutely crucial, varied, and delightful public resource! 👇🏼 actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

If you're in and around Los Angeles now through March 1st, this is your last week to see JACK KIRBY: HEROES AND HUMANITY at the Skirball Cultural Center, which, according to @boryskit.bsky.social at The Hollywood Reporter, "[T]here has never been anything as cool and awesome" ...so go if you can! ✨

I'm not even bummed that I just devoured the entire season of Strip Law in one sitting, because I am 100% going to be watching these episodes over and over, and forcing everyone I love to watch them with me to the point of it becoming a Problem. Just amazing work by everyone involved. Thank you.

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

Absolutely loved this book!

I did a cover for this book by my pals!

Here’s a correction I’m sorry I have to make: I’m deleting this post because I was wrong and the comedian absolutely got a call from a real kindergarten teacher trying to get one of her kids and the kid’s family deported. Story by @drewharwell.com linked: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

As part of a prison work-release program, our own @bransonreese.bsky.social was allowed to write on Netflix's new series STRIP LAW! Binge it this weekend or we will be personally mad at you!!

A fun thing about obsessively listening to @rudetales.bsky.social is that it leads to involuntarily squawking THAT’S BRANSON REESE within 1 second of hearing a cartoon bartender speak a single line of dialogue in an outrageous Italian accent

sorry to say but that's a ....naan starter

really feel the discourse has come a long way since 2016

I’m sure other people have made this observation more accurately but I’m pretty sure the last time a member of the British royal family was placed under any kind of arrest was in the 17th century

The feelings provoked in me by seeing a former royal described as “A man in his 60s from Norfolk” could power cities

"In fact, at 0.39% of the expense budget, he has actually allocated LESS than Eric Adams did in his FY 26 preliminary budget proposal. This is completely unacceptable and detrimental to our public libraries. It’s deeply disappointing that Mayor Mamdani did not follow through on his commitment."

My thoughts on how critical fully funded public libraries are to any Left political project in the U.S. open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

I enjoyed serving as a judge on the science and technology committee for the LA Times Book Prize this year. The five finalists are all very worthy books.

I understand why prison abolition is controversial but I don’t think you can get away from the fact that the most passionate prison abolitionists work closely with incarcerated people or were incarcerated themselves. The more you know about the logistics of incarceration the more you hate it.
