Retrospectively maybe I should have said more and more furiously. ICE should be dismantled, and those that have committed crimes in its name should be tried in a court of law. But if my home county could stop openly collaborating with them, I would take that as a step 1.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

How do you tell a stranger on the internet that you think they're cool? @arobertswrites.com the more you post about your monk wip the mightier my need to read it

Don't be a pantser, I'm now outlining a book that I already wrote to figure out where the bad parts are

To be or not to be, that is a boolean

Please support Minnesota right now however you can, it’s horrifying what’s happening and they could come for any one of our communities next.

As often as possible, it is important to go into a library and look at all the books full of all the things you don't know.

The Lehigh! It wasn't big, but it was walking distance from my house <3

"It’s almost as if Mamdani was being mischaracterized as a dangerous extremist by overlapping political and media empires in a campaign to scare New Yorkers away from electing a candidate whose most unorthodox idea was putting their interests above those of the elites."

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

We at LNP | LancasterOnline are now officially a nonprofit. “Becoming a nonprofit will help ensure our community continues to receive the high-quality, independent local reporting that matters most to Lancaster," former NPR journalist David Greene said. lancasteronline.com/news/local/l...

This is not the place in my life where I typically talk politics, but it's hard not to, today. Anyway, if you CAN do something other than fret and fear, do something. Donate. Join. Attend a meeting. 'Bout to go search a fund in Minneapolis to donate to, but if anyone knows already, please share.

Jesus effing Christ

For someone who hates waking up I sure do it a lot

Turns out that Cloudward, Ho! is really good #dimension20

Afraid for the people of Venezuela and for immigrants in the United States. Litigating whether Maduro was an acceptable target doesn't seem the point when we're talking about warmongering by evil people with stupid motivations, and innocent people in jeopardy because of it.

Happy New Year's Eve, may your resolutions be achievable and your balls be droppin

Rest in peace to a local legend

Um actually reading library books so I can return them to the library is an important part of new years cleaning #booksky

This is slavery.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

Brindlewood Bay is SO EASY to run! And lots of fun too

BCS of 2025! "My Sincere Apologies For the Demon" by @adrianwardwrites.bsky.social BCS #443 & Podcast 353 "Regarding the banishing of Erimodius, you shall, I expect, be most pleased to hear that he has been returned to the Realm of Flame." www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/my-s... #BCSof2025

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Whether or not "baby it's cold outside" is creepy or problematic depends completely on whether the people singing it have believable chemistry.

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.

Satire and fake accents aside, I think the main thing that makes the Knives Out movies so fun is that they feel solvable. There are red herrings and unreliable narrators, yes, and no, I've never solved one, but everything feels like fair play.

Currently taking a break from my long-running D&D campaign to run a #Daggerheart 3 shot. Overall I feel like I would like to see more options fleshed out (which I am sure will come with time) before I would commit to it for a full campaign, but the fight mechanics are so fun, so smooth. #ttrpgs

We need a community-note feature to label AI-generated content as such. All this AI-garbage has caused me to develop a deep mistrust of anything I find on the internet.

Maybe old people who refuse to learn anything about new technology are on to something

A brief return of the Murderbot Humble Bundle! The charity is still World Central Kitchen.

"My Shark Will Go On" by Sea-line Dion

I've been canceling a lot more interlibrary loan requests than usual, and generally it's for the expected reasons (we don't have the right issue, we have a similar title but not the exact right one, a book is checked out/not circulating) but sometimes I try to look up a request and it doesn't exist

Valentine goes by "Val" occasionally for expediency, mostly when writing or fingerspelling. Cowbird has a different name for every body. "Cowbird" is their most "true" name, but the truth is ugly so they don't use it out loud much. #writesky

The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Nobody warned me that the hunchback musical has the bummer ending

Thought I was doing ok speaking Spanish to someone; realized retrospectively that half the words were German that got spanished up a bit. I think we still understood each other but 🫣

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (or deserve) free advertising for Spotify Wrapped: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

The fuckery at HUD is someone all municipalities need to respond to. If yours isn't, it should be.

People who can both draw and write are just so incredible.

I love the kind of horror that crosses into wonder, where magic is both a possibility and a threat. Anyway, you should read "our lady of the elevator" by Shiwei Zhou www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... #writesky

How is a waymo gonna make direct eye contact with me, shrug and grimace before merging across 4 lanes of traffic in under a block

After work, I wrote a fucked up little short story AND a public comment about HUD funding. Doing my best to do it all
