wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Donald J. Trump remains President of the United States of America because Republicans find raping children less offensive than taxing billionaires. #RemoveTrump

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Citizen’s arrest for anyone who shows up at the airport wearing perfume or cologne.

Sometimes even the President of the United States must be tried for treason.

Treason.

AI is the deadly whisper of capital interests that betrays the working class in order to destroy it from within, and it couldn't be more simple than that.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

Today is a good day to buy a book.

I love the slightly janky lynx with all my heart

I don’t think I’ll get over the rage I feel that we traded relative prosperity, security, scientific advancement, the possibility of upward mobility, and somewhat functional democracy for the protection of a felon child-rapist. Incandescent, unending rage.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books. Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable. Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Cheering for the rash.

I think we got 5 tickets left for the Lauren Groff event this weekend in my backyard if you haven't gotten one yet @legroff.bsky.social bluecypressbooks.com/event/Lauren...

Gently, gently: if you are asking a favor of me, and you’re clearly using AI to write the email, I will be sending your email directly to the trash bin.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

At this point, the only thing we can imagine is that Republicans absolutely fucking hate our country and want to destroy us all by refusing to remove a pedophile demonic epic failure currently staring WWIII.

Sick, evil fucking idiots. Not just monstrous but deeply stupid. The people of Iran deserve our solidarity.

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

I genuinely feel that every time we look at that smug face or say his name or hear his voice—any act of direct attention—we are feeding the pitch-black evil force that’s protecting him.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

Congrats to #Florida literary superstar @legroff.bsky.social on publication day for her new short story collection, BRAWLER!

AI, as a force of automation, theft, surveillance, misogyny, racism & control, is absolutely a component of the global fascist moment. Submission to AI is capitulation to fascism. Yes, it’s very hard to avoid, and employers foist it on us. Fighting fascism is hard. Totally worth it, though!

Literary superstar @legroff.bsky.social will be reading in my backyard on March 7. If you would like to meet a master craftsperson working at her peak form, I suggest you come. Tickets include the book and support of our brilliant opening act Sabine McCalla. bluecypressbooks.com/product/laur...

BRAWLER TOUR! Gainesville, Brooklyn, DC, Nashville, Boston, South Hadley, Seattle, Portland, LA, San Diego,San Francisco, New Orleans, Miami!

This feels like a good road trip event to NOLA for the @legroff.bsky.social super fans

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

A healthy book ecosystem relies on professional book reviewers, not just authors reviewing their peers, although this is good and interesting too. We need both. But the professional reviewer is a keystone species in the ecosystem. We can't lose them.

Remove him from power, freeze his assets, charge and prosecute him.

Ilhan Omar is one of the smartest, strongest, most courageous humans alive. Love her.

Minneapolis, your bravery and collective generosity makes me well up every day. You’re giving the rest of us so much hope and courage. I’m so sorry the evil administration is targeting you. We stand with you. Stay strong.

I love Indie bookstores! Preorders for BRAWLER at your local indie get these exclusive exquisite endpapers. Check it out here: sites.prh.com/brawler-preo...

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

ABOLISH ICE NOW.

Sane people in the US are terrified and gutted. It will take generations to dig out of the hole a few genuinely evil people have dig for us. But please don’t retreat. Now is the time to find a way to act, to make the lives of our elected representatives harder, to work, to build communities.

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove. donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

At the end of this, I want to see a federal government made up of socialist nurses, elementary school teachers, mothers, and librarians. Get rid of every single Republican, every Democrat who sat on their thumbs and let this happen. The US better be to the left of Sweden when this is all over.

But the president of the United States is a criminally insane madman who is openly extorting the entire world and threatening war with NATO. The test is whether you’ll actually react APPROPRIATELY and PROPORTIONATELY, and our institutions have not and in fact refuse to do so.

Unhinged

Stay strong, Minnesota. These fascist motherfuckers are stupid and cruel. We will prevail.

Every day a new extreme embarrassment about being American. Exactly two of us want to take over Greenland, and they’re the worst humans alive. We don’t want this. We don’t want WWIII. We don’t want to be at war with our allies. Trump needs to be in prison, where he belongs.

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.
