A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

Living in Minneapolis makes this section hit a little hard today.

Juicy Lucy is just a burger filled with gray napalm cheese.

Proof that god thinks subtext is for pussies.

Book five completes this arc. Up for pre-order. Y'all ready? (Kohahu follows immediately after, and those three are done.) www.knottedroadpress.com/collections/... www.amazon.com/dp/B0G33VCKX4

"—and there is the great macana, as we say in Argentina, the unforgivable stupidity, of believing that a short story, which is a pure diamond, can be confused with the lengthy operation of finding diamonds, which is what the novel is."

I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

If you are looking for a way to help the folks in Minneapolis, a member of the National Lawyer's Guild passed along this fundraiser for legal costs for those arrested yesterday: chuffed.org/project/1865... You can also donate directly to the NLG: www.paypal.com/donate?token...

They’re trying to return to a simpler time when disease killed more troops than combat.

“Did you write the NHL finals headline?” “Sure did, boss. Real fucking filthy, just like you asked.” “Great…wait what?”

Sometimes I think about when Australia was a penal colony. Imagine getting shitfaced in Edinburgh and waking up in a place where the rats punch you in the face.

Not a good time for a readers magnet scam call. That guy got an earful.

Grief is weird. My brother just now: “I’m out of gravy cheese and now I’m sad.”

A few words of reminiscence about Jane Yolen, who is no longer with us, but really ought to be. floggingbabel.blogspot.com/2026/06/jane...

The world is on fire and at war. In our state, ICE is still abducting children and Trump plans to strip mine our pristine wilderness. Meanwhile, our senator and wannabe governor…

We loved talking with your mom and sister on @thechildrenshour.bsky.social. She was gracious and generous with our Kids Crew. Our condolences to your whole family. Here’s the show we released this spring with her with her voice reading her latest book: Childrenshour.org/being-yourself

I was doing a bit near your Mom once about how I ended up with a wife smarter, better looking, and with more degrees than me. (All true.) She had a very clever bit about how if she was only going to consider men who had equal or more doctorates than she had that pickings would get pretty slim.

Good job taking this evil fuck with you, mom!

Thanks to all the well wishers. I am cheered by how many different books people mention as having an effect on them.

Man, don’t be this guy.

How Do Dinosaurs Leave the World a Better Place Than They Found It. RIP.

My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.

Yeah, um, this sucks.

congrats to all the Nebula and Stoker winners, nominees and those not nominated, just the fact you stole words from the place that hides them for a book and incised it into plant flesh is a whole accomplishment

Red white and blue spartan helmet on a tshirt is a new one for me. Asshat.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone...

Get Harry's new book!

Jokes on them. I have definitely walked into a room chalantly.

Yup.

Oh no now it’s loud hit me pretty hard.

the only goal needs to be a Republican free America

just unbelievably spitting mad at this garbage fuck these people, rewrite all the rules and lock every one of these white supremacist assholes out of power forever

Entry #1530203 in my “Republicans are inveterate cowards” file.

They also killed people and blew shit up. Sometimes violence works. You can argue the morality, but its efficacy is proven.

That's right, it's MY COVERRRR! LOOK at how pretty! ADMIRE the deep bluey green color, an ornament to all shelves! MARVEL at how Matt Curtius managed to evoke my story, which does in fact include a lot of music and also harpies! PREORDER today! or, you know, a different day soon!

This administration is basically a bunch of serial killers.

ICE hasn't stopped in Minnesota, neither have MN50501's volunteer observers at MSP. Yesterday 27 shackled detainees were loaded onto the ICE Air flight in Minneapolis. We're on track to have our 100th ICE flight of the year by the end of the month.

Markwayne, Miller, and Homan want to do things “quietly.” But their mandate remains the same. Our neighbors are still being terrorized, detention continues to be dangerous, and fascists will keep profiting from our pain.
