As our 1st state run detention center, "Alligator Alcatraz" bypasses federal laws & one of the results is that people are being disappeared, among other atrocities. Sharing the report from Amnesty International bc I don't know what else to do, this is horrifying www.amnestyusa.org/reports/tort...

It looks so good, we might finally get an accurate adaptation 😭

RIP Camille Desmoulins you would have loved Posting!!!

If you haven't read A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel you should, it's so good. She's always good, but the French Revolution, corruption etc feels so timely right now & what she's done with bi icon Camille Desmoulins is phenomenal. #booksky #hilarymantel

As soon as I saw little Ampert 😭 that movie is going to destroy me as much as the book did #SunriseOnTheReaping

"Mance Rayder started out a crow. I could be a king same as him, & have me some wives." There's a real life Chett, y'all 🤯-"2...men have been charged in relation to a plot that included invading an island off Haiti, murdering the men on the island, & using the women & children as sex slaves" #asos

I keep seeing rave reviews for Strength of the Few but I thought it was really disappointing, honestly kinda amateurish 🤷 #booksky

On my Will of the Many reread in preparation for Strength of the Few, I forgot just how good it is

Cineverse has acquired Guillermo del Toro’s ‘PAN’S LABYRINTH’ for a 20th anniversary theatrical re-release in 2026.

I rewatched my favorite movie yesterday. #GuillermodelToro #PansLabyrinth

What is your favorite Halloween movie? I'm looking for recommendations bc I need to get my mind off this madness tonight. #halloween #scarymovies

I had no idea buying an appliance from Costco would be such a mess, why doesn't anything work like it's supposed to anymore? They have outside installers who are completely incompetent & I don't get it. This has been a month & my dishwasher still isn't installed 🤯

Anyone else getting nervous about the world we live in, particularly those of us in the US, cause...

The way Kubrick turned a book about a haunted house into an examination of a haunted country. The Shining will always be the best horror film.

New study by Falkena et al. shows that most climate models don’t capture the established key mechanism that can destabilize the North Atlantic subpolar gyre. Those models that get it predict abrupt subpolar gyre changes in coming decades 😳. @swinda.bsky.social esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/...

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass? me in 30 years: Swear to God. Then he demolished the White House

Reading Skin Folk by @nalohop.bsky.social Holy shit this is so good, dreamy modern fairytales, you have to check it out #booksky

It's always a good time to read Mary Shelley's gothic classic Frankenstein, but with @realgdt.bsky.social's new adaptation hitting cinemas this week, today is an *especially* good time. Tickets booked. Can't wait! 💙📚🪐 #Horrorsky

@babybillybfyre.bsky.social saw this and thought of you. Did you Roanhorse's Trail of Lightning? It's really good.

This typhoon is getting no coverage and the communities devastated need help. Here is a link to the Western Alaska Disaster Fund if you are able to make a donation & help them to rebuild - alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

*slathering on the growth factors* "I'm going to grow me an extra eyeball, just like the 3 eyed crow..."

Happy birthday @theharpie.bsky.social !!! 🎂🎈

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

Congrats to everyone who voted for a pardon for child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell.

Then one day, the man who would be president promised the deaths of his own citizens.

Greta Thunberg and other flotilla participants have been kidnapped by Israel again.

Ted Cruz asks for bipartisan agreement on the Senate floor today. He says they must come together to stop murders. To stop rape. I agree. We should stop those things. Then he says we must “stop attacking pedophiles”. No one corrected him. His team called it a “blunder”. Release the files.

Silence is complicity bc silence is consent. - Maria Ressa #booksky

The quality of a democracy can be seen by the quality of it's journalists. - Maria Ressa Her book is fascinating and what she went through is disturbing as hell (& kinda familiar)

While Trump wages war of Tylenol, Project 2025 is 47% complete & Project Esther is still going strong in the shadows 👎🏻 Don't get deluded. Don't be distracted.

While everyone was focused on Project 2025, Project Esther was being used to crush dissent. Sold as "fighting antisemitism," it's the blueprint to label any protest as terrorism. They're dismantling democracy right now. Latest for @meidastouch.com. Watch the full video: youtu.be/jCV2-qT9N5M

Not my words but: If you think acetaminophen / Tylenol is bad for children… Wait until you hear about assault rifles.

Others had started this war, Lord Cregan was heard to say, but he meant to finish it, to continue south and destroy all that remained of the greens who had placed Aegon II on the Iron Throne and fought to keep him there.

Nobody does plot twists like Olga Tokarczuk, im blown away by the beauty of it. It's a tough read in our current climate though, everything is a little too real 😭 #TheEmpusium #Tokarczuk #booksky📚

And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Some of y'all are terrible people who honestly don't deserve his work & never understood it in the first place. May you die alone, cold & hungry.

"Well, mighten it be that some morrow will come when I’ll have need of that foot? When the realm will need that foot, even more than a prince’s life?”... “It’s not bloody likely,” he said harshly. “The realm has as many hedge knights as hedges & all of them have feet” -Hedge Knight, George RR Martin

Im going to be thinking about "And Seven Times Never Kill Man" all day- the cycle of colonizing cultures forging new colonizers, golden eyes smoldering bronze. Are the pyramids psionic soul sucks causing the regression?

Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true? ... They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to Middle Earth. - George RR Martin

Who's read Sandkings? That ending OMG
