candidates showing actual guts even after being targeted by the cowardly powers that be, we love to see it

It’s #FridayReads time and Hispanic/Latine Heritage month! Let’s boost all signals. This month is great, but I write with an accent every month. Here’s a (45% off!) novel full of sazón and magic, waves and monsters, storms and revenge, crime and friendship. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

The protest has moved to the intersection of 25th and Harvard. Join us.

“ANTI ICE” said exactly nobody when “FUCK ICE” was just sitting there for free.

Just finished "The Daughter's War" by @buehlmeister.bsky.social Loved it just as much as "Between Two Fires" Curse those horrible lil' biters! #art #sketch #illustration #goblin #thedaughterswar #fanart

Hello friends. Proving nothing so much as that I did the right thing by getting off X, some shadenugget has put up a fake account in my name there. If any of you are still keeping a foot in that Boer Toad-lord’s swamp, you know what to do. Thank you in advance for your kind attention to this matter.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Fan Art! Love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Booker: Here’s the thing, I think you’re not going to be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. This may the last time I have a hearing with you because I don’t think you’re long for this job.

“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

People get scared about famous devils like Baalzebub and Moloch and THE Devil, Lucifer. Do you think these celebrity baddies actually have time for *you*? No, your devil is going to be Bob. Fear him. Do not say Bob 3 times, and especially do not then add his last name Bobbob-Ra’ann.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Hey, Austin, if you’re around, the place to be tonight at 7pm is hanging out with @ericlarocca.bsky.social and yours truly at @bookpeople.com!

Seems like a good reason to return to social media. Happy to share my article in NYT books featuring some of my favorite fantasy authors, including works by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Rebecca Roanhorse, John Wiswell and more. #fantasybooks

You look like you could use some flowers—here are a few from my front garden.

My 3 floofs in repose. Figgy, Figgy, Duck, Jane.

Finished reading Between Two Fires by @buehlmeister.bsky.social last week and I'm still thinking about it. I love how so much of the horror comes from the setting/time period, and the supernatural elements often just heighten that. Throw a little bit of found family in there and it's *chefs kiss*

Sitting next to a couple with a wrinkly, red, very new newborn and resisting the urge to say “Wow, that one’s pretty farm-to-table, huh?”

Every time I hear RFK Jr speak I think of the line from Stan Rogers’ Barrett’s Privateers: “and the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags.”

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

I just wanted to share this delightful review of the Blacktongue Thief - these gentlemen ‘got it’ so thoroughly that I subscribed to their channel & can’t wait to find more books that are ‘up my street’ as British lads might say. youtu.be/5TJiMjAAKhM

Hilarious 😂

NOW: At least 10,000 have joined the March for Humanity in New York City. A united call to end the genocide in Gaza. (🎥 Gerard Dalbon)

My cartoons for this week’s @theguardian.com books #holiday #vacation #reading

Aliens, if you’re up there, there are two guys in a room in Anchorage, Alaska who could really use a crisp anal probing and a one-way ride to your space zoo.

I wish Bill Hicks were alive to see this carnival of shameless pie-thieving queefery. He would be slaloming through these lobotomized quislings and smug cunts smoking two cigarettes at once and dropping shit grenades of white hot rage and genius.

Fuck Russia. And fuck Trump for being Russia’s stooge.

Be it known that Bathhouse Williamsburg does not suck. Nay, it sucketh not in its many hot pools nor in the cold. It sucketh not in its saunas nor do its massages suck, nor the view from the rooftop pool. Alas it only sucketh that I live not here and must away i’th’morn. #BathhouseWilliamsburg

This is literally taking a very real chance at life away from many thousands, perhaps millions of people. This weaponized willful ignorance is a form of violence and I don’t think we should submit to it. #GeneralStrike

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

I don’t generally believe in capital punishment, but I would make exceptions for Putin and Netanyahu.

Hello. I am a lethal blunt force brain injury, and I never show up unexpectedly in film or TV when the protagonist needs someone knocked out.

Hello. I am a werewolf in almost any movie made after 1981, and I am a shitwaffle.

NEW: The IDF is shooting children at aid stations for target practice. Dr Nick Maynard says soldiers chose particular body parts to target on different days - one day head, then chest, abdomen & testicles. "I would never have believed this possible unless I'd witnessed this with my own eyes."

Escaping ICE GOONS ✊🏽 🏃🏽💨

Like many people, I was horrified at a young age by photos of skeletal concentration camp victims from 1945. I can never again see those images without remembering similar photos from the hellscape that Netanyahu’s Israel has manufactured in Gaza. #NeverAgain www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2025...

I picked the wrong day to wear sandals. There’s a fly in this café and the little motherfucker likes toes almost as much as Tarantino.

Here's Colbert on July 14 making fun of Paramount for paying Trump $16 million. It's hard not to see CBS canceling his show through this lens. "I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's big fat bribe."

In a study of over 100 German soldiers who refused to follow orders to kill civilians during WW2, none received the death penalty, and indeed very few suffered any serious consequence. DO NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL ORDERS www.jstor.org/stable/1429971

Pure happiness…. 🐶🥰 ♥️🥹

I’m too happy in my life, marriage, and career to actively wish I’d discovered Muay Thai at 17 instead of 54. But it’s exactly right for my body type and instincts if not for my current age, and I think my life’s trajectory would have been different if we’d met sooner. Oooweee.
