why is talking to james carville still a thing.

Four years after the Dobbs decision, pregnant people in states with total abortion bans are now nearly twice as likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period.

My sense is that part of what gets a candidate labeled “extreme far left” by the mainstream media is “being straightforward and unapologetic about wanting policies that help ordinary people”

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Besides the fact this is illegal and only Congress can make such changes, this is absolutely devastating for children like mine.

My camp backpack includes unicorns and rainbows. Our church camp has long been welcoming, including and affirming of LGBTQ+ campers and staff. Love being the camp pastor here this week.

Last night's sunset was amazing! #sunset

It really is fucking wild that Trump is having people arrested for putting a finger in a pool when he pardoned the people who full out trashed the US Capitol

Thank you so much! I'm honored to sponsor the Ignite Awards this year!

A day we'll never forget 🧡 San Jose, meet your first-ever draft class!

On cue.

Wisconsin, can we please do better than RJ in 2028?

I'm about 3/4 of the way through this cleanup of a previously shelved manuscript, and I'm surprising myself at how hooked I am in my own story. It had a lot of potential before but I didn't know how to fix it then. About two years ago I had an idea, and over the last year it came to fruition.

Guess I'm becoming a San Jose fan as they drafted Laila Edwards! www.thepwhl.com/en/draft

Heads up to the moms whose SNAP benefits just got cut

I loved talking to organizers in Menomonie and across Wisconsin about how they're beating back data center proposals coming from shady development companies left and right. One told me, "Organizing swiftly and fiercely and relentlessly is the key.” ✊

one of the more aggravating things about the whole rfkjr thinks he’s some autism genius is that he (and most folks in his world) simply do not understand anything about k-12 education in this county. if you want to help kids w special needs, fucking drown them in cash! get them aides/supports!

We are already seeing the devastating results of this. Our son walked on Sunday but should receive full education & services until he is 21. Because of these changes, the district is already telling us to find outside resources because the funding will no longer be there. apnews.com/article/trum...

This does. Not. Happen. The government does not agree to pay defendants’ legal fees. It is not done. They are doing it in the hopes of avoiding discovery, because they are hiding something that is somehow even worse than what we already know.

Sometimes the stars align, and the day you are paid your earnings for consignment books sold last week at a conference and two checks for nonfiction articles you wrote last month come in, is the same day quarterly taxes are due. #writing

Random comment seen on Mastodon: "AI artwork looks the way Christian Rock sounds."

Congratulations NYC.

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Several people have asked me recently why Analog/Asimov's/F&SF/Ellery Queen/Alfred Hitchcock still don't have Submission Grinder listings again, because the communications from SFWA on the subject have been so positive. So I thought it might be worth addressing this briefly.

I'm supposed to just be doing a final pass on a draft I'm about ready to query. I found a couple of passages to rework. No big deal. Oops. #writing #revising

This is what happens when you use A.I. instead of an artist 🤔 🍆 🎇

So just to get this straight (or strait) Donald Trump is using an autopen to sign an agreement with Iran?

I am worried about the Delaney hunger strikers. Does anyone have any reports of how the strike is affecting their health? This has been going on long enough for the impacts to get pretty serious.

Imagine taking the few Bible verses on human sexuality and women being silent in church as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing the +2,000 verses calling for a generous economy and redistribution of wealth for the sake of the poor to a personal choice.

It's graduation weekend for kiddo, family is coming into town and kiddo has two graduation parties to attend. Let the chaos begin!

Trump using a giant curtain to cover up the shame of his name being removed just like he covered up the Epstein files is so on brand for the old pedophile.

Doing god’s work. Great NYT pic of the rainbow at the Kennedy Center last night for the “Great Unnaming”

I have to say, removing a usurper king's name from a building really is a great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding.

Amazing game last night in Milwaukee. www.brewcrewball.com/milwaukee-br...
