11 days away!! I’m really excited to be tabling QCon, it’s a show I’ve wanted to table for a few years but never felt like I was a “good fit”, whatever that meant to past me.

It's America's 250th birthday—so we made a list of 250 books on why that's nothing to celebrate. bookshop.org/lists/250-bo...

Reminder: as ICE just got $70 billion more (fuck ICE), we are still sending out whistles to anyone who wants them. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Nuthatch. An older comic.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

I am still reeling from this incredible gift. Professional model maker Dennis Chan (and husband of the talented @alawinans.bsky.social!) made this INCREDIBLE figurine of my grandparents. I can't stop turning it over in my hands. What a wild thing to see @yasimamura.bsky.social's work in 3D.

I run an EXTREMELY niche jewelry shop. Have for ten years. Our artists are all LGBTQIA+. Our staff, LGBTQIA+. Our customers are either queer, queer adjacent via family or friends, or allies. Something I can tell you? QUEERNESS SHIPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. YOU DON'T LEAVE RED STATE PEOPLE BEHIND.

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

dogs require French fries for their spiritual well being, or so I am told mostly by dogs tbh

I desperately need to mute the phrase "during Covid." Or even worse, "back during Covid." It's still out there making people seriously ill, so I guess you mean back in those long ago days of .... RIGHT FUCKING NOW?

This was a lovely article to see! Thanks so much to @brokenmnemonic.bsky.social for alerting me to it: www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/2612508... #romancelandia

Life in Hell day 479 Hundreds of protestors turned out against the ridiculous proposed data center in Utah. That’s probably a pretty good turnout for that state. And Kevin O’Leary is building it? He’s not even an American. (And how gross is Shark Tank?) ☹️ Eat the rich. Here’s a poster

@mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social Happy 33rd Celebration to the Most Happening Place in the Universe!

In sum, skip the Atlantic on this one and read Monstrous Regiment, a great standalone Pratchett and a perfect book for right now, because it takes on propaganda, war, gender, and how religious zealots starve nations and ruin everything. Quote me on that, why don’t you.

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

There's a theme in these lawsuits where a librarian has been fired for refusing to remove books or discriminate against LGBTQ+ folks. They are not losing. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/edu...

“On May 23, 1796, a newspaper ad was placed seeking the return of Ona ‘Oney’ Judge, an enslaved Black woman who had ‘absconded from the household of the President of the United States,” George Washington.”

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

At this point, generative AI has to go the way of the dinosaur. It literally has to be rooted out and the companies associated with it driven out of business. The idea that it continue in its current form is intolerable and a complete disaster at a time when we have no margin for error as a species.

🗳️ CA folks: I've received confirmation that my ballot's been accepted, but if you are waiting to wait closer to Election Day, this is an instructive & informative article.

This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Yesterday I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

I just led a moment of silence on the House Floor to honor Amin Abdullah, Abul Izz Kazhia, and Nader Awad, who were murdered at the Islamic Center of San Diego. In their memory, we need to come together and respond to hatred with love, compassion, understanding, and community.

We're closing in on 700 stores registered for this year's #BookstoreRomanceDay, but #Alaska is still not represented. If you are or know an #IndieBookstore in Alaska, it's time to sing up & ensure all 50 US states are represented. bookstoreromanceday.org/bookstores/b...

I don't want a white person saying to me, I used to think Black folks were apes, but I learned you're people I can treat like people now. Or, I used to think there was no way I could hang with Black people without hurting them through racism, but I can now. You see how that is for me as the person?

I have to keep reminding myself that despite the horrors, human beings are still making things like this:
