And lastly, my overall review of @rkduncan.bsky.social on my own website, in my blog series "Writer Spotlight" www.emmiechristie.com/short-fictio...

@repdwightevans.bsky.social you must support this effort, and those against RFK

If they're murdering people in broad daylight with cameras rolling, imagine what they're doing to the thousands being held in the camps.

This is another horrible verse on the same song: ICE is an evil, illegitimate institution that we must abolish and dismantle.

DHS should go away. This should be a real goal, to unwind this un-American beast created by the War on Terror. Send the agencies under its umbrella back to their historic homes. Maybe save TSA and send it to DOT. But nuke the rest of it.

anyhoo, if you wanna know what getting out this looks like, maybe take some inspiration from any or all of these. They're still my main word on the matter.

I'm seeing a lot of people suggest local or state law enforcement be mobilized against ICE. That will not happen. The order will not be given, because the civilian leaders know it would not be followed. ICE is the police. The carceral state will not defend us from itself.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

I do find the discourse about Americans needing to censure over our government's criminal foreign policy a little odd, given that the same gocernment is also violently occupying portions of the country with militarized police. The oppressed are not complicit in their opressor's other crimes.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly: ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

The Spanish version is “the left liberates, the right oppresses” and once I learned that, both screws and politics made more sense

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

Just realizing now that my newest story opens with the same confessional line. It's a classic. I'll probably use it again. kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

in addition to making jokes and posting politics, i write stuff eligible for awards. as nominations are underway, i repost this once more. it will pass your skyline again.

Just to be clear about the credit, it was @tnh.nielsenhayden.com who ran up to me and said I _had_ to read this amazing story you’d posted on the wall. In so many aspects of my career, Teresa has been my under-credited but crucial co-editor.

Start the new year with a new story from me, a historical fantasy in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social , set in 1200s Paris, it asks 'what's the worst thing that could happen if you join a bible study group at university?' kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

Particularly nice to see this review of my story im @reactorsff.bsky.social today, as @pnh.nielsenhayden.com announces his retirement. He bought this story that I wrote at Viable Paradise, and I will always be happy and proud of that.

Emmie is, with fantastic kindness, reading and reviewing 14 of my pieces this week.

I think this is one of my best stories, certainly one of my coolest ideas, and warcrimes have not changed that or pushed its release date.

I thought it'd be cool to make a thread for each writer I review! So here's the thread for @rkduncan.bsky.social so far: 1. WYSR “The Tongue Remembers What the City Forgets” inkfoundry.net/review/why-y... Nostalgia isn't just for the good times.

"Bearing the Good Fruit" by @rkduncan.bsky.social has 13th century French Christianity and Alchemy in a subversive interaction, with a fantastic voice that immersed me in the period.

"What do you want the Dems to DO exactly?" is kicked dog behavior. Elected officials are not meant to do insider trading and occasionally give a 4/10 speech about civility. They are an expression of the values of those they represent, you're damn right I expect up to and including physical action.

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

The first writer I'm reviewing is @rkduncan.bsky.social. You can find the individual story reviews on @inkfoundry.bsky.social's site. I've posted five so far and am currently working on the sixth. Check out the Get WYSER page here! inkfoundry.net/get-wysr/ #GetWYSER

I have called. I have been sad and anxious. Farewell for now, social media

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I love this story. It's got alchemy, monstrous transformations, medieval academia. All my favorite things.

It's the 1290s. You're at university in Paris. Your cousin wants you to attend late-night secret alchemy lectures. You join a very intense theology reading group instead. They keep talking about "Bearing the Good Fruit." What's the worst that could happen? kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

Hi, I'm my own goddamn house, in the person of falling plaster, collapsing stairs, and one of those big flourescent box fixtures coming loose.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

New fiction by Emily Linstrom, EC Dorgan, @rkduncan.bsky.social, @phoebebarton.bsky.social, @danpeacock.bsky.social, @clhellisen.bsky.social, @prioryruins.bsky.social, @jaydeholmes.bsky.social, @amulderwrites.bsky.social, @jelliclejay.bsky.social, @kmveohongs.bsky.social, and @ernerker.bsky.social!

New story day!!! I can’t even tell you how much this one means to me. It’s the first short story I wrote, the story of my heart. I’ll find better words later, but… for now I will just say thank you to GNS for giving this one a home, and thank you to anyone who takes the time to read it, too. 🖤

If you came to my reading at 2024's @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social , I read this story there.

Are you a writer resolving to build craft and community in 2026? Applications to the Viable Paradise workshop are now open! We’re looking for 24 writers to join us in October. Learn more and apply: viableparadise.com

One of the important things about comics (and adaptations of comics) is that they are stupid sometimes. Think about the sheer number of gorillas Batman has fought! There is a joy in letting yourself be stupid, some times.

Mine's got alchemy, theology, monsters, swords, all that good stuff

I’m excited to share this one with everyone!

Holy Smokes, folks! Get those applications ready!

F770 has been a missing stair for years. And as we do another round of pointing this out, I invite everyone to pay attention to who isn't shocked. Who's said this before. Who's coming forward with stories of being harassed and targeted because Glyer was being irresponsible.

Kinda wild that this also succinctly demolishes Wittgenstein on language without trying to.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

This is great, "Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death," a story where Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who administers the lottery from "The Lottery" archiveofourown.org/works/733964...

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.
