The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself. - Ursula LeGuin, The Dispossessed #booksky

"At least two U.S. citizens" - 75% of detainees have no criminal record so let's not divide people into groups, as if it's ok with some people. How many people total have been shot and/or killed

We know this story

“It’s like call of duty! So cool huh?” Trump’s goons treat shooting at and tear gassing protestors like a video game, caught on national TV on a hot mic One even clapped after Alex Pretti was killed abolish ICE

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

SO haunting 😭 #Minnesota

Have y'all listened to the William Sascha Riley audios? This is horrific open.substack.com/pub/lisevold...

The horrors persist....

I don't know, feels like a pretty big story & nobody is talking about it, every platform is suppressing it? #Iran

Well, crap. 😟 ‘Iran declares 'total war' on America and Europe in huge WW3 alert’ "They want to bring our country to its knees," claimed Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian #worldwar3 #ww3 #iran www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

So we're officially at war with Iran now? 😳

In July there were signs of #SMOC reversing & now it's snowing in summer in Australia 😱

Merry Christmas Eve, y'all

I don't think all of the failed redactions were a mistake, I think there's some weaponized incompetence going on. Imagine how pissed you'd be if you went into justice to fight this kind of cover up. #EpsteinFiles

Game of Thrones show vs book #ASOIAF

With this administration i keep thinking about what happened to Finnick 😭

Read Nella Larsen's Passing & can't stop thinking about everything as performance, race, gender, sex, class, etc, so good. If you haven't read it, you must, it's really short & so worth it. #Passing #Booksky

Rob Reiner 😭 Which movie will you be watching tonight? #RobReiner

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it. #LordOfThRings #FellowshipOfTheRing Never felt more relevant.

I really didn't expect Henry V to be the reasonable one in this book Richard II has some odd resonances to our current time, this is an interesting read if you're looking for medieval history #HelenCastor #TheEagleAndTheHart #BookSky

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.
