The right's pitch for women's submission is that it will cause men to provide, protect, and cherish women. Turns out the opposite is true. Research shows conservative men see tradwives as lazy parasites. They loathe them. www.salon.com/2026/04/08/w...

I think it's more that antifeminism never goes out of style. Like a leather jacket.

If you want a taste of what to expect from @chanda.blacksky.app’s THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME, this is an excellent place to start.

I just finished reading “Raising Hare” by Chloe Dalton and highly recommend it. If you liked “H is for Hawk,” you will love this book!!! We can learn so much by studying and appreciating wildlife… #books #reading #BookSky #wildlife #nature #BookClub #memoirs

Music to my ears…

Author tour alert! You all are not going to want to miss @chanda.blacksky.app.

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

Absolutely not the news I wanted today. This world is a bit dimmer now and I don’t care what they say, your heart was absolutely in the right place. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Could not agree more.

Beyond thrilled to see Chloe Dalton’s RAISING HARE included among the NYT’s best books of the year. It’s been amazing to watch this book work its way into people’s hearts in the same way it did mine. @pantheonbooks.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/b...

Happy publication day, @natanlast.bsky.social, whose fascinating deep dive into the crossword puzzle’s history, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, drops today! I think @mathitak.bsky.social sums the brilliance of this book up quite nicely: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

At the counter of Russ & Daughters, sitting beside two ladies who seem to be sampling their first bagels & lox, nodding to each other and speaking in emphatic Chinese. New York is the greatest city in the world. Waves of immigration, assimilation and cross-cultural pollination make it so.

Congratulations to @markzdanielewski.bsky.social and the amazing @pantheonbooks.bsky.social team working to get Tom’s Crossing out into the world. I wish I could quote the entire @nytimes.com review, which calls it an “audacious…epic about epics.” This isnt a book, it’s an event. bit.ly/4ofKhfh

Waiting for the Ezra Klein piece arguing that perhaps the Democrats should run pro-Nazi candidates.

I hope the subcontractors got paid up front, because if this goes like any other Trump construction project, they’re screwed—just like the American people. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Whoever came up with ICE Barbie, ::chef’s kiss::.

I know "Mac Tonight" might seem very silly, but that's the kind of thing thst people who often use this material count on. Here's what the mascot is regularly associated with online.

😭😭😭

Nice personal news to share among all of this political misery. Just sold my new book Terra Infirma to @pantheonbooks.bsky.social & editor @deniseoswald.bsky.social, Squeezed's editor. Thanks @jillgrinberglit.bsky.social and @economichardship.bsky.social Read about it in @publisherswkly.bsky.social

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

So some deaths are funny and other are so serious that people should have their entire lives ruined because they didn’t feel sad about them

Exactly this

I wish I was in the mood to laugh…

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Last night a federal judge in L.A. blocked federal agents from DHS from using crowd-dispersal techniques and less-lethal munitions against journalists covering protests. He cited an “avalanche of evidence” that ICE and CBP agents violated First Amendment rights of journalists.

We need stand united against political assassinations, and equally stand strong and united against everyone who attempts to seize on acts of violence as a pretext for repression of political opponents.

Incredibly well-deserved!

This is not what you say when you want political violence to stop. This is what you say when you want to go to war against the American people.

Thrilled to see FOR THE SUN AFTER LONG NGHTS on the long list and for the team so hard at work on bringing this to publication. Congratulations Fatemah and Nilo and Concepcion de Leon and go @pantheonbooks.bsky.social!

Truly a f*cking crime. Corporation for Public Broadcasting Will Shut Down www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/b...

RIP Michael Madsen. Clowns to the left of me / jokers to the right…

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser: “I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

"This is a distraction." Yeah, a fucking great one!

Truly let them destroy each other.
