I just wanna say that the motion to proceed vote, which is all this Was, had a hell of a lot more dems supporting it before our rapid response work this afternoon. Only eight Dems voted for this, and that is because of how hard we worked in the last many hours. 1/2

It was 67 degrees today. Expected to be 35 (high temp) tomorrow. Is Mother Nature going through Menopause?

Sometimes I am astound myself with my ability to complicate a very simple thing.

Linus is still waiting for his forever home! One of the easiest fosters I’ve ever had: crate trained, comes immediately when called, sweet, affectionate. If you’re in or can get to Asheville NC, you could be his special human. bit.ly/47KZSwm Don’t disappoint Linus like The Great 🎃 did! #Dogs

I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

🎥 🍿 at home I didn’t want the stylish and comical museum heist shenanigans to end.

So next election cycle we’ll get bombarded with news stories profiling customers at independent bookstores and dance clubs, right?

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Got vaccinated yesterday. Looking forward to tomorrow because this first 24 hours…

If you are voting today, please don’t forget to vote in every race, not just the ones that have been getting attention. We have school board seats to flip and hold. We have city council seats to flip and hold we have bond measures to repair schools and libraries. Don’t leave a single section blank!

Halloween treats for everyone! 👻

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI. I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

I'm supposed to go to a social thing that I've actually been looking forward to but it starts in one minute and I'm still at home and somehow I don't think I'm going to make it.

So we’re all agreed that the new ____ on High Potential had something to do with _____’s disappearance, right? I love the show, but I can’t help thinking that this particular arc was lifted right out of an older police series.

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

I’ve had this laptop for three or four years and never knew there was a built-in 📷 shutter guard 🤦‍♀️

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.

Happy National Black Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛

Student journalists in Appalachia! 🚨 PAID writing opportunity before end of the semester: 100 Days in Appalachia is assembling a series of dispatches on the biggest issues facing campuses. Pieces are short, not as heavy a lift reporting-wise. Email [email protected] & I'll share info.

Halloween trick or treating is a great opportunity to hand out know your rights booklets and zines in your community. www.nyic.org/resources-tr...

North Carolina has a new Congressional map, barring likely legal challenges. The N.C. House of Representatives voted in favor of a new map that shifts about 500K people in eastern N.C. to give the GOP an advantage in the 1st District. www.bpr.org/2025-10-22/n...

Good idea. Have heard it before. I wonder if something similar will happen.

Is it time for bed yet? #DogsOfBluesky

Dear Journalists, You seriously don’t have to always be like, “2 + 2, said by some experts in math to equal four.” You can just say the thing. It doesn’t make you biased. Really. It’s okay. XOXO, Simeon

I’d love it if the next big thing in publishing is people buying lots of books.

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids. Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why. The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane. interactive.wbez.org/uploader/en/

What does it cost to hire a freelance editor? It depends on the kind of book you need edited and what kind of editing you want done. The Editorial Freelancers Association has a calculator (rates for 2024 rolled over to 2025). www.the-efa.org/rates/ #LianaEdits #Publishing #PubTip

If you're in Alabama and can, the state library discrimination services are holding a public hearing tomorrow about banning all "trans" books from those under 18 in libraries state-wide. gulfcoastmedia.com/stories/apls...

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

And no one needs permission to do this so the campaigns can be decentralized and targeted to local communities.

I wanna see a mega thread of all the small locations for #nokings.
