People need to realize that the way someone like Epstein worked is that they slowly work their way into other rich and powerful people's circles, get them into something incriminating (or find something incriminating on them), use it to make them complicit in everything else, and now they're in it.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

😢 Okay, Alice. I won't let the bastards grind me down. I'll call on you as an ancestor and I will try to carry the light of a disabled oracle. Thank you for everything. 💜

This is very interesting! Not peer-reviewed or replicated yet and the study has limitations, of course. But a fascinating lead in one of the main theories of fibromyalgia. My thoughts ⬇️

Want to honor Alice Wong and her work? Wear a damn mask!

it's been quite a week for me personally...plumbing/leaking issues in the building and having to get people in here while we wear our masks and ask them to too. which they did and I thanked them. oh there was lots more this week but that day was very very stressful. today has been prty good so far

📚 Just finished Shadow Ticket, and wow, what a trip! ➡️ Up next: Tom’s Crossing Shadow ticket is classic Pynchon chaos, and he’s clearly just having fun. It's a jazzy, Depression-era detective fever dream that’s as playfully strange as it is eerily relevant. #booksky #litfic #pynchon

Just a note - I don't have the hamburger menu but clicking on settings in the list to the left of my screen got me to the same place. I set everything to either off or warn because I'd rather choose for myself what I do and don't see, thanks.

This makes me so happy for her. It’s an extraordinary album and she’s long overdue for a Grammy. 🤞🏼

This was a good read & made me curious about Atwood's memoir, the score-settling esp. But do tell me please, @theguardian.com , where "the Canadian outback" might possibly be? (Hint: Canada and Australia are not the same place.) 🇨🇦 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Fight me, San Francisco has the best airport. I was able to visit a small but inspiring and informative Afrofuturism exhibit, leave a message for my late husband at the Dia de los muertos installation and visit a branch of my favorite bookstore Green Apple Books. Great food choices too

Met this book yesterday in Nature Writing section (Floor 1), Waterstones Leeds. I like the ideas! As a book published in 2017, it was insightful in that decade. Last night I found at my place that another book about nature-mind was also published by Leaping Hare Press! Great! #morningread
