The internet is wild

Look at this fucking bullshit. I can only assume they mean they’re going to give ME seven dollars for taking this off their hands…

In 2022, I published a fantasy book in which a smaller, beleaguered nation defends itself against a much larger imperial aggressor—and wins, humiliating the empire and precipitating its collapse a few years later. Anyway, apropos of nothing, the #iran situation

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

@tkingfisher.com is such an amazing writer! On a friend’s recommendation, I went blind into #PaladinsGrace and read it in 2 days. It was a *delight*. Then I found #HemlockandSilver at a local bookstore and immediately bought it, 0% hesitation. There’s a witchcraft in these books, I tell ya.

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

Hey gamers, Luna here. I'm a graphic designer for ttrpgs, you can hire me to make your zines cooler, or to kill your enemies with my mind. Unless they deal poison damage, then I'm out. Anyways, you want this. Yes?

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

Today in Iran…

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

America 2026.

Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

Come find me in Artist Alley from March 13th, 14th, and 15th @awesomecon.bsky.social in Washington, DC! I'll be participating in a panel about #villains in #scifi and #fantasy on Saturday, March 14th, 9 - 9:45 PM! It's going to be a great talk moderated by @ckwestbrook.bsky.social -- can't wait!

it’s insane that a decade ago we all agreed that giving mass shooters the attention they desired was a bad thing but now because rightwingers will quite literally lie about the shooter every single time we all have to be acutely aware of the shooters intentions and ideology

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Thank you to Book Exchange in Marietta, GA, for hosting me today! Be here till 4, so stop by if you’re in the area. #indiepublishing #localauthor #indiebookstore #fantasybooks #arcanepunk

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

At this point, is it just easier and quicker to publish lists of which powerful people do NOT appear in the Epstein files?

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

I signed this petition organized by Virginians for Fair Elections. They still need more signatures. Can you sign and share as well www.mobilize.us/virginiansfo...

Pouring more money into DHS while it operates with impunity and a blatant disregard for human life is unconscionable. You don’t fix abuse by funding it. You stop it by cutting off its funding and dismantling the institution that’s terrorizing communities. tinyurl.com/mr3em3k8

Hello #Portfolioday ~ I'm Kat, a freelance character layout artist and illustrator. I love drawing women~ I'm currently busy with work (so on break from online stuff) but if you want to check out some 👀🌶️ I have made, I do have a Patreon here: www.patreon.com/denimcatfish

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Calling all #authors and #readers! I’m doing a presentation on villains in #fantasy and #sciencefiction @awesomecon.bsky.social this year, and I want to hear from you about your favorite villains (regardless of genre). Hit me!

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

The final book in the Aelfraver series is published at last! #amwriting #indieauthor #fantasyauthor #noai #ampublishing If you like YA-friendly arcanepunk, futuristic fantasy, found family, mystery thrillers with touches of eldritch horror, check this out: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0G4...

Across the country, electricity costs are rising with no sign of slowing down. One of the main culprits: data centers. As big tech continues to build data centers around the country, the electricity demands are spiking our rates. This practice of socializing costs & privatizing profits must end.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Join me as I nerdily unwrap the long-awaited proof copy of #TheRuin The final book in #TheAelfraverSeries Grab your copy on December 31st, 2025! Shoutout to the astounding cover artist @kalmahul.bsky.social !! I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with you all. Nearly there now...!

Creativity is seeing beauty before it’s finished.

Echoes of a very dark past. From the Chicago Sun Times: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

At Decatur Book Festival yesterday. Great time. Met so many cool people.
