I’ve never wished I was an artist more than right now!

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome: - Right-click - Unpin Gone!

Target could absolutely have my business back in a heartbeat with minimal changes that would probably be good for their business in general. This… makes it a lot less likely I’ll go back ever.

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike. Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike. Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

Three things happening rn are: 1. My publisher remaindered my first book and talked me into buying a bajillion copies to prevent them being shredded 2. Gift-giving holidays are approaching 3. There is tremendous need in many areas of life for many people across the country, Soooo… 1/3

Gonna imagine all my T cells with little butt cheeks now

It’s true; I was thinking about them just yesterday.

Indies will ship and you can often buy from someone’s local indie and arrange for them to pick up in person. (A great way to handle things if you ever do online book-purchase giveaways to a random winner who may not want to share their mailing address.)

There are a lot of competing needs, I know. But I really would like to uplift these folks at the Midwest Bond Fund. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/17/b...

Since Thursday, Starbucks Workers United have been on strike with a simple request: a fair contract. The right to organize for a better life is fundamental. www.clickondetroit.com/business/202...

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

what IF, instead of the sunday sads, you got sunday shinies? www.peculiarityshop.com/meg-s-corner

Today's nudibranch is Diversidoris crocea. My book calls it a saffron noumea, but it doesn't seem to have any widely accepted common name, which seems a shame. Pic from Anilao. #Nudivember #MarineLife #Invertebrates 🌿

My high school classmate Jason is a trucker who has had an on the job injury and now needs financial help while he recovers. The kindness of friends and strangers is currently our national medical safety net. Would you please consider sending $5 or more his way? Thank you!

Hooray! @authorsabb.bsky.social is *OFFICIALLY* a nonprofit, and is now open for donations! For the last two years we've been doing all this w free tools, or paying out of pocket, & we were STILL able to get SO MUCH DONE. Imagine what we could do with $$$ www.authorsagainstbookbans.com/donate/

New beanies are now available to preorder on my site! These will keep you cozy all winter long 🌲❤️ 🍂 shop.fossilforager.art

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half We price for that, so please be understanding!

Don’t cross the picket line! Avoid Starbucks while the strike is on, whether your store is participating in the strike or not. Help fight for fair wages!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚

These aren’t the most vivid, but they look a lot like what I was really seeing with my eyeballs, and I love the way the clouds look with the aurora in the first two.

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling! It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer. This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop! Artists! Drop your shop links! & check out SquidFacts.net 😘

Attention Katie Wilson voters!!!

hi, can you do me a favor? take a picture of your pet and then take a picture again while you sing to them thank you, this is for science here is my contribution

AUTHORS!! Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON? Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen. More here:

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now. If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Many people think this race could be decided by only a handful of votes (here’s former Seattle mayor Greg Nickels). Have YOU checked to make sure that yours was counted? Check our link in bio to check on your vote with King County elections!

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

Call Slotkin too, Michigan, she is not to be trusted even though she occasionally shows glimmers of getting it

Schumer (NY) 202 224-6542 Booker (NJ) 202 224-3224 King (ME) 202 224-5344 Hassan (NH) 202 224-3324 Durbin (IL) 202 224-2152 Ossoff (GA) 202 224-3521 Shaheen (NH) 202 224-2841 Gillibrand (NY) 202 224-4451 Masto (NV) 202 224-3542 Warner (VA) 202 224-2023

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Unfortunately, Peters is not running again so I can’t threaten to fire him but I still called and told him what I expect him to do and gave him a piece of my mind.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

And they would kick you off your insurance for any little thing (I overpaid by $5 once and my insurance was automatically terminated without them telling me) and then declare any medical thing that happens to you while you were off it as a pre-existing condition. It was so bad before the ACA.
