What an interesting coincidence.

So I interpreted the weird as the hyperobject of climate change, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of Cthulhu on 'em. Gimme Cthulhus for a Cthulhucene, you'd say.

All I want for Christmas is the complete and utterly destruction of this party, anyone still involved with it is just a total prick at a very fundamental level.

I made for myself a piece of Kufic calligraphy. It is a line from a poem by Mahmoud Darwish عـلـى هـذه الأرض مـا يـسـتـحـق الـحـيـاة On this land there is that which deserves life / which makes life worth living Anyone that knows more about kufic will tell you it's a little off and ugly.

At some point today, I am officially closing late pledges for Three Weeks in the Streets. I'll be damned if we can't hit a nice even 250 backers before I do though. Help me get there? I'm going to try to close it at exactly 250 sales.

Please support and share. A thread of initiatives to support.

And this is the truth that must be contended with.

It’s sort of infuriating to watch liberals all of the sudden be able to identify war crimes because Trump is doing them

lotta days I’m reminded that daniel morley is still out there somewhere & the fbi is perfectly happy to just let bombers wander around freely so long as it serves their purposes (not to mention train them & feed them parts + plans as deemed necessary) www.newsweek.com/2018/01/19/b...

White supremacy. The colour of the year!

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

I hope this RF kuang discourse round makes people realize that we don't have working class writers anymore like barely at all

There's a lot one can eminently critique with Moore, but the one thing he's always been 100% correct about is how these 20th Century Imperial Power Fantasies are horrific expressions of a Settler-Colonial Culture and its delusional, dangerous view of itself. And nerds get so mad if you say it.

Telling a targeted, hyperscrutinized, vilified population that you have no choice but to comply with mulching us is not a praiseworthy stance!!!!

actual in practice "canadian values"

Three years ago, I still held out hope that I could get a real publisher to put out a new US edition of Dorothy Richardson's modernist epic, Pilgrimage. A year ago, I decided to do it myself. Copies are available now from @asterismbooks.bsky.social.

With Girlguides and the WI announcing that the new laws are forcing them to exclude trans girls and women, it seems like a good time for any cis women who haven't signed Not In Our Name yet to do so. Stand with our sisters. notinourname.org.uk

MASSIVE FUCKUP: there’s a new 4K streaming restoration of Twin Peaks and in the pilot episode you can see the reflection of a scary-looking crew member in a mirror. how did they screw this up so badly?

The Alt National Park Service has spent months stealing from journalists, directly plagiarizing the work of others more than a hundred times. With more than 4.3 million followers on Facebook and nearly 900k here on Bluesky, they've built a massive following on theft.

Wendingen • A square-format Dutch magazine known for its constantly changing cover designs and its view into early modernist graphic ideas, 1921...1931.

No idea if anyone else has coined this, probably have, but I've taken to calling this kind of anti-Arab racism from people who don't even have any connection to Israel in an ethnoreligious sense "parasocial racism". These people are doing it for the love of the game. Same as with South Africa.

I need help. After paying last month's rent, I'm broke and need to pay this month. I am still between jobs since RPL fired me (to union bust). I've been working as an election canvasser with a progressive organization, and freelancing but the election season is over. www.paypal.me/ChristopherS...

Enter all your fave indie books.

Renee Gladman's Ravicka series made me experience urban reality differently; so did the evocation of late C19 NYC & Philly in Hartman's Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments (not fiction but unforgettable). Also: Schulman's NYC in Empathy as well as The Mere Future (& others

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

everyone hates Nazis until it’s time to quit Substack

sometimes I read the Cozy Fantasy subreddit (because apparently I need more reasons to get sad) and holy shit. Those ppl get VICIOUS about whether something "counts" as cozy

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩 The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse! This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology
