"Oh Lisa, the lesson of Moby Dick is be yourself!"

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

I see my antique website is down. It's due for a major overhaul. I'm waiting until my new cover art is ready (mwahahaha!) so it will all look pretty together. Meanwhile, hoping to get the old girl up and running on its tiny hamster legs until that can happen.

Oh this makes me so sad. I met Jane once, she was incredible-my photo was right next to hers at National Geographic (2 blondes with their hair pulled back). What a legend. What an example for all of humanity. Thank you for showing us how to be better Earth citizens. Rest in peace and rise in power.

RIP, great one. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

Halloween name unlocked. 👻🦇

Our favorite color is October! 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 📸 Zion Wilderness by Tom Andrews, wildlandart.com

They grow up so fast! Yolo has lost his floofy baby pantaloons and almost all his baby fluff now. It will take him about 4-5 years to get his full, bright, adult king vulture colors but he looks different almost every day! 🪶 #lovevultures

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*. Yes: free. If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Is he talking Reylo or Dramione?

Fuck it. I bought some Halloween lights. While I have my own house, let's grab any bit of joy we can.

Perfect.

Advocates in California will continue to push for relief for people convicted of harming their abusers. “Survivors are resilient, and there’s so many left behind, and so many that this bill would have helped.”

Anyway, pre-order my book about America and violence (but I repeat myself)

Something to lower your heart rate & maybe give you hope: You can help out pollinators & other wild critters no matter where you live (if you want to, that is!) This piece on monarch butterflies, gardens, green-space advocates & biodiversity in NYC is very much my jam 💚🦋 www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Happy book release day to @franwilde.bsky.social for A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES! This is a good one, as all Fran's books are. You should get it.

Californians: do it

This is the most complete information I've seen about the Anthropic copyright settlement — dates of when things are likely to happen, what to do now, and what it all means for different types of writers. nwu.org/anthropic/

A super cool thing that men can do super easily is just leave women the fuck alone.

I CAN’T KNOW HOW TO HEAR ANY MORE ABOUT EZRA KLEIN

I want this so much, especially with how Alabama makes it so hard to get solar and Alabama Power is allowed to charge us a penalty for it.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Oh no. It's too expensive for me. I don't need it. Oh no. www.jcrew.com/p/womens/cat...

Wait, are those donuts????

Last night, I saw Kenji Tanigaki's THE FURIOUS. It was a shot of pure adrenaline infused martial arts action. Just what I needed.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Ezra Klein, my ass. Look who's doing actual good. laist.com/news/car-was...

Cooooooool! 😍 Cassowary's are so fearsome. This is killer, in the aesthetic and spiritual sense!

I would even put it less nicely than this. If it's not your money, why do you give a crap? Who made you the guardian of giant corporations' bottom lines? Do you complain when other customers load up on the expensive items at an all-you-can-eat salad bar? What is wrong with you

BALTIMORE (AP) — Sinclair will resume airing 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on its ABC affiliates, ending blackout in dozens of cities.

Apparently if everyone who liked the book put “liked it” you could all trick the algorithm

WELL HELLO. In the coming weeks I get to chat with both @marthawells.com and @tkingfisher.com at their book launch events (one in Allentown, the other in Doylestown) and I'm pretty darn excited about it:

You can support Chicago Abortion Fund here action.chicagoabortionfund.org/a/donate

If you can see @tricialockwood.bsky.social on tour for her new book Will There Ever Be Another You, do it! She might throw individual packets of lube into the crowd.

How is this level of thoughtfulness and care so unusual? Wish I could vite for him.

People in or near New Jersey: look at this amazing opportunity!

Love walking around the WB lot this time of afternoon. The shadows are long, and it's quiet. Saw two extras from The Pitt in hospital gowns eating ice cream.

Ok then, who is next?

I can't watch the videos of ICE assaulting women. I believe the victims without needing to see it because the violence being perpetrated against women, trans, and non-binary folks in this country is nonstop. I'm writing a very angry book now, and that's where I'm pouring out my incandescent rage.

📖📖📖 some personal news: I'm writing a book!

A friend of mine (Tanaz Bhathena) just shared her wonderful adult fantasy debut news. I don't think she's on here, so I'll post it for her. I'm so excited!

out in paperback today! read the book called "the funniest book about racism you will ever find" 🥰🫡 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/690564...
