This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

"Since October, 73% taken into ICE custody had no criminal conviction and only 5% had a violent criminal conviction, according to a Cato Institute review of ICE data." https://seiu.co/4ru127H

My uncle died today. He had a fall and suffered a brain bleed. He was a wonderful person and I'm not doing great. I need the good people to live longer.

We're supposed to be getting proper snow tomorrow, so lots of panic shoppers out today who I guess didn't buy out the store prior to last week's suggestion of snow

Well fuck

Between sourcing a new vendor (who didnt go all in on a Look We Do Custom Fash Products business model), a bizarre adventure in quality control, and then the oblivion that is the current state of Customs, look at what has finally arrived

The way I would much rather take all my taxes out in cash and set it on fire...

I hope Zack de la Rocha is doing a lot of deep breathing these days

Have you eaten yet today?

You know what to do

I sure don't need this montblanc. Nope. Do not.

So very tired of Fulton County being in the headlines

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

I did not know that Melania movie was real 😂

I haven't bought a fountain pen in 2026 yet. Which is either very healthy or very bad news for all of us

I always felt like what's his nuts' purpose was always going to be fall guy. He would either make an easy target for the...escalation this admin wanted to see to properly kick shit off, or be easily discarded in his role as a placating measure for folks easily placated.

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

Increasingly annoyed that nothing this cool ever has or will ever happen

Xmas gift build complete. I was delayed by travel + lack of stickers

The acts they choose, reflect what they think their base will respond positively to. It tells you how they see you. Mamdani thinks that you want to see him help his neighbors shovel their snow. He thinks that you love your neighbor and want to help them. Not kill them, or throw their things away.

All politicians do performative acts of service. Some choose to do pull-ups with soldiers while calling them "war fighters" and ignoring all of their worth and value other than hate and killing. Some choose to participate in homeless sweeps, and revel in throwing away what little people have left.

It's all "fuck ICE" at my local lash spot whose clients are like 70% white southern belle wine moms

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Welp, power outage without a lick of precipitation. Bodes well for tomorrow's thick-of-it

Guess who lives in the south and waited until the day before the ice storm to go grocery shopping 🤡

Ordering out for tacos before it gets too cold/dangerous to order out for tacos

Signing some things and some stuff...

I was narrative editor on the game and have...both questions and concerns as a just-finding-out-about-any-of-this character.

Statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council in support of a General Strike and Day of Truth & Freedom on January 23rd.

Being gone for a week means there is no food in my house except for the ingredients for... Duck ramen? Neat!

In my "print it out and make it into a bookmark" reviews folder

*hungry chuckling*

I think a lot about what we as a country allow* to happen to children especially and it may be the root of why I don't think this place can be saved. *I mean exactly what you think I mean

i am recommending "Year of the Mer" by L.D. Lewis. this book is phenomenal, a beautifully wrought story of trauma and reimagining oneself. it's available for pre-order now.

Happy birthday, my sweet nuggets!

It's Mochi and Churro's birthday so time to uh...celebrate...

"GenAI" looks like how Forrest Gump says Jenny's name

New Zealand trying cornbread and pound cake for the first time. In every video and in every city there's a Black woman feeding this man and he be just as happy as I don't what 😂😂😂

One of my 11-year-old pupils once gave me a grown-up talk about being her height on the London Underground (I’m 6’2”). “Where do you think my head is when a grown-up farts?”

Hey so um don't use AI to review my book even if it is glazing thank you

A man on this plane is walking up and down the aisle airing out his farts and there might be a mutiny soon

The thing about being black and American is you’re fucked over by America, not respected outside of America, not wanted inside or outside of America But they want you to be ok with being a sineater No fuck off I keep thinking of Ferguson while yall say black people are just as responsible

Really wish the asshole Europeans would understand that this isn’t the U.S. starting an imperial expansion. This is an eviscerated shell of a U.S. government being used as a weapon by *international* tech oligarchs to end traditional, democratic nations and replace them with a tech-run dystopia.

Shut up, nerd
