Oh, Sloane. I'm in tears. 🫂

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

At the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this morning. These aren't detention vans—they're vehicles full of Illinois State Police. Local cops are staging for a morning of protest. Supposedly, demonstrators will be banned from 25th St today. Fence on Beach came down a few days ago.

Remember, the Nazis also targeted the Roma and the Slavs.

Yeah, because we needed even more people talking too loudly at the coffee shop. For the low, low cost of destroying our environment and poisoning people.

less than a month to go. come get y'all food

Book pals, help out a bookseller in need. My friend Colleen has been in painful chemo and the cancer has recently spread. Cancer (and capitalism) have taken her job as Books Inc ended her remote marketing job when BN took over. Please boost and/or donate if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/colleen-ca...

@nameshiv.bsky.social , it's your time

me, trying to remember treize's last name from gundam wing: Treize.........Kaytranada?

Come see us!!

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

When did big multicellular organisms evolve — and how many times did it happen? In my first big print feature for @sciam.bsky.social, I wrote about *extremely* controversial 2.1 billion year old specimens from the Francevillain, and the question of how to recognize life on a basically alien planet

Anyone who still believes Israel has ever operated in anything resembling good faith would be thoroughly cured of that delusion if they read about Marwan Barghouti. In a world with any justice, he would be president of Palestine.

EVERY BOOK BANNED FROM THE READING BOWL HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!! The kids will be able to read and compete over all 20 books. Raising the issue made a difference. Teen advocates made a difference. docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Please share the news about these students working to get transparency on why books were removed from a statewide reading bowl (including a book ON book banning!!) bookriot.com/helen-ruffin... And then sign their petition here: www.change.org/p/ensure-tra...

and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...

If you're in the New Braunfels area in TX, please look - students need the library.

ain't no justice it's just us ashes to ashes dust to dust D'Angelo, thank you for everything.

D'Angelo changed a whole landscape of music. Voodoo remains one of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my life. RIP to a consummate artist and one who fought for his integrity, image, and voice. I'm crushed.

GIVE D'ANGELO BACK 😭

Setting aside NYT's centrist "flaw" assertion, something JGL never actually says, this is a very good video. JGL is must more aggressive in this video about AI companies being manipulative, craven assholes.

So far TODAY Israel has: - bombed Gaza City - bombed Khan Younis - shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City - refused to open the Rafah border crossing - announced they would once more block aid This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

VOTE CHUCK TINGLE 🌈🌈🍑🍑🗳🗳☑️

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media. www.facebook.com/100000960660...

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

we should get rid of dust jackets. all they're good for is papercuts and marking pages.

proverb: measure twice, cut once me, an anxious sewist: measure twice. or three times. one more time in case i didn't remember right. oh god why don't the numbers match? measure again. allowance? measure again. omg SCISSORS 💀 what if i need more fabric? i can't cut this i'm putting this away

Great question, I uploaded an answer to that to my Patreon subscribers, but I opened it up b/c I think they've had exclusivity for a few months and this may be of interest to a wider audience: tobiasbuckell.com/how-i-used-t... and: tobiasbuckell.com/creating-a-c...

We spent the night at the ER. My poor little Squeaky is having a time with this illness as her vet & I try to find the best medicine to work for her. It's been a rough month for us & I need some assistance offsetting these vet bills if anyone can help & donate. 🔗 In bio and below.

the one good thing about 2000s forum culture is that surviving and thriving means no one on twitter can ever match you. chapeau menswear guy yet again

it really is quite astonishing how everything they say winds up exposing them. the call is coming from inside the house. i didn't think this many people could grow up without developing theory of mind, but the proof is right here.

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl–an optional state-wide competition intended to get kids excited about reading–has banned 8 books from its teen competition this year. Among the banned books? @samiraahmed.bsky.social's book about banned books. What the hell is going on? bookriot.com/helen-ruffin...

who wants a cover reveal tomorrow around noon EST??? get ready bc holy shit this is like my dream cover #author

TONIGHT! I'll be joining @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social , @veronicarothbooks.com, @juliavee.bsky.social and host @yumewrites.bsky.social at PT Knitwear in NYC for a panel on History and Speculation in SFF. Hope you can join us!

Oh, hello

if only people had to sew a t-shirt in home ec in high school... let 'em figure out for themselves how simple it is.

$30 for a silk shirt that requires a certain level of sewing expertise, design know-how, and extra hardware? this person is certifiable. 30 USD is ONE YARD of quality silk. Not even one yard of silk shirting. Delusional.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

electronic whistles may be a good alternative for those who can't blow into whistles for a long time. just sayin

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions. People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

any way!!!!

Friends in the Northeast! I and a whole bunch of authors are headed your way in the next two weeks for @yumewrites.bsky.social 's Traveling SFF Festival! Instead of having conversation partners, we'll be paneling with one another at each stop. More info at www.yumekitasei.com/travelingsff...

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:
