Something I haven’t seen mentioned is that more than TSA work at airports! Janitors, food service, retail, etc. I have no faith that security clearance to work at an airport will keep those people safe from ICE, especially brown and Black people with accents.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

- Pace yourself - don’t go too crazy - no fedposting - stay on top of regulating your nervous system - act local - find people who’ve been doing the work and ask how you can help - tend to the myriad biological needs we need as confused little apes - give grace to dysregulated people on your side

The most maddening thing when talking about sex pests in media is that the genre actually doesn't matter. They're literally everywhere. And they love to form their own creepy networks. But if you respond in kind, somehow you're the problem.

some context for that “look at me doing edgy homophobia” Gavin Newsom clip is that Newsom rose to political power in San Francisco during the AIDS crisis. there’s a reason every current or former Californian you’ve ever met feels about Gavin Newsom the way Captain Ahab feels about the whale

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

This once in a lifetime of lifetime dream tabletop Liveplay event is coming up Wednesday, 1/14! I wrote the game and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is gonna lead it and I think youse should come see it. VisionsAndVoices.usc.edu!

Laser and Maddox - November 2025 It was my absolute honor to make @lasertheboy.bsky.social's cake topper for his wedding to Maddox. The Doubleclicks have had a huge impact on myself and my friends (we're all queer now, lol), and Laser himself taught me so much. I love you, internet art Dad.

Hearing reports that some of you have not been informed that we are casting the net far and wide to determine the science fiction and fantasy favorites of the year. Here's me amending that:

Hey @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, did Lou reveal a new Witch subclass during Make Some Noise?

Always an important read for anyone reading Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

normalizing mask wearing makes criminalization, from this kind of surveillance to mask bans, way harder. you wearing a respirator to the grocery store, on transit, in healthcare is a practice of solidarity with the most marginalized in your community on more than one level.

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”

Here's how to support my work: I'll be teaching a version of my Columbia class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month for @resistanceschool.bsky.social. The course is online/ hybrid. Deadline is Sept. 19th! Sign up! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Wanna know something even more ludicrous? When I was drawing Sonic the Hedgehog for Archie I legit got a death threat or two over Sonic #134 as well as a couple of slurs here and there. Its why my debut book was such a sore spot for me for so long. Its not academia but it was the exact same thing

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

@ the asteroid Stay away from her, get a job etc

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

A trans woman expressed her thoughts about the death of a man who publicly hated and despised trans women, and DC Comics really thought the best thing for them to do was...cancel her upcoming comic book series?

CAN YOU ALL JUST PRETEND NOT TO BE DEEPLY INSECURE WEIRDOS FOR EVEN A SECOND MY GOD

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

To break this down, you are a member of this class as an author if: (A) you are the legal copyright owner, and (B) the work is in LibGen or PiLiMi and was downloaded by Anthropic, and (C) the work possesses either an ISBN or an ASIN, and (D) the work was registered with the US copyright office.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

’Tis but early days.

The official trailer just hit, and it wastes no time setting the tone for an eight-episode dive into obsession, corruption, and the messiness of chasing the truth. redpopnews.com/ethan-hawke-... #redpopnews #thelowdown #fx

We're looking for a Lead Audience Development Producer - is that you? 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/were-looking-for-a-lead-audience-development-producer-is-that-you/

HELLO!

Since this came out I've been so bitterly amused by how *much* of my stuff is here. Folks have spent so much energy declaring my work inferior and me a "DEI hire"... but then they stole every book, story, and even interview to feed their plagiarism machines. And yeah, I'm adding my name.

the olympics is already evil but LA's committee is like i will create an olympics that is *so evil*

I'm really thrilled to be mentioned in Vulture's "Five New Comedy Specials You Should Definitely Watch (When You Have a Moment)!" Read it all: www.vulture.com/article/new-...
