deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

My favorite part of rapture tok are the Christians who think they’re superior bc they KNOW it’s not happening tomorrow bc “no one knows the day or the hour - not even the son of man,” but like they still believe the magic sky flight for goodies is definitely coming one day. #midnightcry

Oh man I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything from icon Dave Chappelle on the unforgivable, worth everything to stand up against it, crime of cancelling comedy just because you don’t agree with it. Maybe he’s napping.

This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I hate this shit Nate is doing with the donation money. As of 100k is not something that everyone in the first 10rows of that theater can’t spare immediately.

Bargatze doing the most conspicuous-consumption iteration of “asshole who sets cash tip on the table and pulls a dollar back every time the waitress is slow with a refill” sure does make me feel like I don’t have to care about him or his work ever again

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

Wuthering Heights discourse been at it since 1848

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.

Cried my eyes out when belly had to break up with the cousins house

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!

I want to cook dinner but I have no garlic. Guess I’ll starve. Disclaimer: I don’t grocery shop; that’s a man’s job

Yall really should be interrogating what you read and not just resting on that you read.

Let them eat cake.

Today in Fascism. (One in a series.)

Hey book influencers! It’s possible to just NOT talk about that book. You don’t have to weigh in, promote, highlight, feature, or even rate it on Goodreads. Like you can just read it (if that’s what you actually want to do) and move on. Unless what you’re after is the high of promoting it after all.

hi! 😃 i couldn't help but notice that scrolling is sapping your will to live! may i offer u a video essay in these trying times? youtu.be/Bdj14_jdumI

No. I cannot handle Captive Prince getting a new audience bc of a fucking viral fan art. I can’t see the discourse. I can’t watch the reviews. Leave LAMEN alone!

Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social calls out Marsha for selling out Tennesseans with #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Why do I feel like this is a @charlottestein.bsky.social adaptation?

I am begging everyone to please make a pledge to refuse to be demagogued again re "crime" and "law and order." Let this be the last time you fall for the bullshit.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

My daughter clocked the set up for ART in this week’s #Murderbot as soon as he said there was cloned human tissue “in transports too.” ART!!!

Did I just see HELEN MIRREN do an Uber Eats ad on TikTok? Look, America, you’re not doing that bad.

JD would not be better Like he would not

Do I want a light blue boucle pottery barn chesterfield and grass cloth wall paper for dining room Or Do I need a weekend away?

Just started watching Miss Austen and it’s essentially about sisterhood but also totally about spilling tea and having receipts and it’s gloriously sordid

Quote to future librarians of color, “Use the tools of the job to create social change. There is power in being behind the scenes in the information arena. Use it to make a difference in the world, to do good” -tatiana de la tierra (2004)

An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writing*your* books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.

It’s always JUST been HBO

This is what I live for. Great books made into great tv/movies

I’m torn today between reading my book for book club(my actual job), making a TikTok about books I read 9yrs ago, working on writing my book, addressing grad announcements for my kid, and completely redoing my laundry room from top to bottom.

Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

Wanna reduce crime? Open more libraries. "we find within the nearby proximity of the library; there is a substantial reduction in frequency of burglaries, vandalism, robberies, fraud, and assaults." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I miss being dorky about things. I wish hype books and series were still good despite being bad so I could join a fanwagon

you know the rules.

I have a steadily disappearing bottle of single barrel select Jack

The US will never have walkable cities and good public transportation because racists have convinced themselves that allowing Black people to take a train from a Black place to a white place and then bike around, would be the end times🤷🏿‍♂️ Which is why they lie to themselves about NYC crime being high

Getting “recognized” for TikTok while at my library job is so fun. Is fun the right word?

Sunday morning reading update: I’m barreling through Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil (a gem!) and listening to You Started It which is so cute #booksky

Hahaha I hate this *plans next trip* *tastes death*

Every morning around 7 if I haven’t found her and made her go out already, my Little Dog, Hazy, will tap her head thru my door and come stand one full foot in my room and stare me down. As soon as I make a single move, she tippy toes out like “that’s right, you big bitch, you have a job to do.”

Oh hey everyone you were right that Sinners is a masterpiece and needs to be seen but hey how about a warning that it was scary as fuck from jump?!?! Ok!

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

Reading The Favorites and I’m weirdly unimpressed with this Daisy Jones format. Yall should just read Night Film
