Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Celebrating my birthday with the best gift: finished copies of #COYOTELAND—a novel that I’m so proud of & am excited to share with you very soon❤️ Pre-order now! Sound ON to hear from a special visitor… 🐺 Hope to see you on #book tour — planning a few fun surprises! www.vanessahua.com/events

Let me be the ten thousandth person to complain about how bad Track Changes is getting

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

We will not be forgiven for this, and we shouldn't be.

Elected Representatives and Senators….where the fuck are you? Either accept your responsibility to stop this or your complicity. You will be judged.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

You are a senator.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

I wrote a story about miracles AND you can buy it AND buying it will benefit Tucson cats!

Light From Other Stars is so beautiful and thrilling, and if you’re in the mood for space travel and humans expanding their horizons exponentially…this book is for you today.

The Artemis II tracking website is up, if you want to track is in real time over the next week and a half www.nasa.gov/missions/art...

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

In other news, I am really excited to share some new initiatives we're launching at The Rumpus including increased pay, writing and editorial fellowships, and microgrants. therumpus.net/2026/03/31/e...

This is fascinating and made me nauseous. Also hilarious that one of the researchers said "Time is running out" for certain types of longevity research. For whom, bro? www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/30/1...

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

There are two wolves inside you, but you have to vote for one of them (I voted for Celine, but it could have gone the other way; my middle school friends and I once spent an entire afternoon trying to get the local radio station to play Brick. Did we understand what it was about? Not really!)

If you submitted an Anthropic claim, I recommend calling them and confirming it. Their system is riddled with errors and issues. Even if you got a confirmation number, maybe check: 1-877-206-2314

I put a bunch of dahlia and zinnia seedlings in the ground, and I hope they thrive. It's hard to let go after babying them for months, and to answer your question, yes, I'm going to do great when my child someday goes to college.

Walking down the street, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and there is an absolutely deafening chorus of sneezes coming from all directions

One of my friends has a kindergartener who wept all morning/last night because his school is doing active shooter drills to day, and I am not the first to say this but what the fuck what the fuck what the FUCK are we doing

“Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a ‘moral imperative’ that ‌people have access to the health services they need.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Really interesting - my first thought was contamination, but the article actually addresses that in multiple ways. Well worth a read IMO and also open access.

A single nomination can be all it takes—and anyone can nominate work for this prize. The nomination period for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction closes at midnight PDT on March 31st! Learn more and nominate books: www.ursulakleguin.com/prize-nomina...

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

@actualnames.bsky.social Actual (cow) names.

You can do it here: www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Miracle incoming: Sickle Cell Disease is curable.

listen up readers, my first short story collection is coming out and look at this cover (and lol I like the spine so much I had to include it)

tbh I think the difficulty of accessing or managing any kind of healthcare in america constitutes a crime against humanity

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

We as Americans cannot fathom how profoundly destabilizing Trump’s insane Greenland saber-rattling was to European allies. It was a rupture that will never be fully repaired — and yet America has already forgotten it.

Writing is: "Well I can't do THAT to the character." And then, twenty seconds later: "Oh, I guess I should do that to the character."

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

obviously this story wouldn't have been any less dark if this wasn't true, but I really wasn't prepared for one of the victims to have been Dolores Huerta

Weather reports, gesturing vaguely at the climate apocalypse: “El Niño”

The Varieties of Democracy Institute in Sweden issues an annual report on the status of the world's democracies. Its latest report says the US no longer is one.
