You should absolutely read this. And not just because my best story (to date in my opinion) is in this.

Sent my feedback in today. Would hate to see this platform pull a Tumblr crash and burn.

This comment blew up a little, so here are some good recommendations for what to do about Bluesky's censorship plans. I'll be mostly quoting people with good ideas for visibility. 1. Don't comply in advance. #bskycensorship #blueskyblackout2025

This story is just as insane as it sounds. The DIRECTOR OF THE SHELTER didn’t even know it was happening.

Brilliant piece on the casual erasure of of a female artist from a landmark moment in pop culture. And the answer to the question, Why don’t Peter Blake’s other album covers have the power and impact of Sgt. Pepper?

Crowdsourcing fascism through community-initiated surveillance has way more precedence than people realize and not just through historical examples of the 20th century.

Fuck a duck Screw a pigeon Go to hell and get religion Appalachian boys’ playground chant from my childhood. I’ve come to imagine it meant they were wise to the preachers.

So even as we condemn political violence, we need to be clear of the legacy of Turning Point USA. Those who are whitewashing its work as a “free speech and debate” organization are willfully obscuring the truth. 8/

You've been kidnapped. Characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to save you. Who's coming to rescue you? Yeah probably nobody is getting out of this alive but what a way to go

in Lawrence, Kansas, I was on my way to the Dusty Bookshelf -- one of my favorite bookstores anywhere -- and I stopped in a bookstore I didn't know. They had a copy of a Dobson book where he really details his "beat your children, God said it's good" philosophy. He did so much harm.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI" GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

‘Chris reached out to me and he said, “Look, my brother and I are adapting these incredible books into a television series, and there's a role that I think you would be ideal for.” I was like, “Oh my gosh. Wow. Thank you! That's so kind. Is he really nice, warm, loving, and charming?” No.’ 😂

Cute article and I had to laugh at this: "My first thought was whether Smith would still have left that comment had she known about the cultural snobbery surrounding C-dramas. I think the answer is yes." Bb, Patti Smith does not now nor has she ever given one single shit about cultural snobbery 😂
