Dear diary, Today i have learned that authors get buckets of money from brands for writing them in their books. I need to know how to get Celine to hand me a brand sample package and big big dollars.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I know I can't enter the USA because I said that ICE murdering people is wrong, but I'm 100% correct about that so whatever

Denny is completely correct here. I'll even go a step further and say that strictly from a craven political ambition standpoint, if you're the person who stands up to this murder and takes ICE to task and doesn't back down, you become the 2028 Dem frontrunner overnight. People yearn for a leader

O, falsely, falsely murder’d!

Good morning to the excellent people of Minneapolis-St. Paul, for stepping up to murders with cell phones and solidarity

this is my general beef with posting anything here lately. you post something where it’s like clear that you are an expert or at least generally know about a topic and many many many of the replies are like “did you know this very basic thing everyone knows about”

I am losing my bicycle loving MIND over Zohran just saying "We're gonna fix this" without having to do a year and a half of council meetings beset by NIMBYs and cranks

also the retail price for hardcover in Canada gives me a tummyache so if you would my darlings please please please go to your public library and request the book even if you are preordering? those hold lines can get LONG if librarians don't know that there's a lot of demand

hey do you want to know about my secret wip book ok good

jesus christ. this one's a no-brainer. go fuckin sign it

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

*leans in, interested*

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

À lot of people are mean and miserable on social media because they can't figure out how to fix what's broken in their lives and have decided to lash out at strangers they feel particularly parasocial about. They won't ever realize that's what they're doing, but... I see it. 😔

i know i need to do something about my chronic unrelenting stress but i have basically been dealing with moral injury for-EVER and I don't know how to deal with this. (there was no question mark, but I am asking to hear suggestions)

I'm glad to see this thread because i have completely divested from the evil river and i have picked up kobo plus read and listen.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

all of this

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

I know there are a lot of speculative fiction readers among you. If you haven’t tackled @older.bsky.social Infomocracy series, it is horribly relevant. We played with some of the same ideas in the Leverage S3 finale, political perception as reality.

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

whole thread. CW rape. what we're seeing with elon's digital rape & CSAM machine is collective gleeful revenge by cis men as a group against women as a group, trans people, and yes even children, for the crime of resisting the status of sexual property. bringing down the boot.

Just saying out loud that I remember this morning when they were saying that they weren’t going to do anything besides the Maduro kidnapping Before they announced they were also going to run the entire country I remember a few hours ago

We had a good run

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Also let's be clear, we are attacking Venezuela for the same reason we attack most countries and the same reason we overthrow most governments: they had the audacity to take over their own resources (notably, their oil fields) instead of letting US corporations own them. Anything else is propaganda.

Carpetbagging ghouls.

It was clear to me that hitting kids was wrong when I realized people will hit their kids but not openly harmful adults. Anyway, funny how politicians scream about law and order when people march & protest but when politicians openly break the law we're not sure if law applies anymore?

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Okay, how about now

Okay, AI puke it is

oh woo! we get more awesome mayors to watch

we have spent the last decade in a race to the bottom with politicians competing to be the most vulgar, the most cruel, the most boundary transgressing, the most celebratory of pure vice. I just want some politicians to say, "hey we could be better, and I think we should be" but like, with style

oh hm

THIS PEASANT DIDN'T GET HER CLOTHES FROM SHEIN, HOW DARE SHE

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

happy new year to all my extremely online friends

Over 275 authors, editors, critics and diehard readers came together over the last month to vote on their favorite transfeminine books of the year. It's my honor to present the 2025 TFR Reader's Choice Awards! Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted 🩷

Afternoon boost. If you have the time to signal boost or the money to donate, it would mean the world to me.

Writers! How are your workshop applications coming? I have good news and bad news… The good news is that we have a STELLAR group of instructors this year! Fonda Lee is back this year after a break, joining Arkady Martine and Valerie Valdes, and new to the faculty: John Wiswell! FOUR amazing alumni!

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

What @chadstanton.blacksky.app is talking about is how while silent the left and many cultural institutions did the same DEI rollback the GOP and business did . They just call it strategy

Banger. Banger, banger, banger.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

sometimes i get a song in my head and it's in there for days and this time it was Rocklandwonderland I am never beating the Canadian allegations www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkJe...

someone on bluesky knows about this and can point me in the right direction what is all the fuss about HRV and how do you improve it when the app is always telling you to rest?
