we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

SPEAKING OF THE COLD!!! Activists have given @lefttheprairie.bsky.social another list of things they desperately need to stay warm & safe in the streets in the coming days! All of this is going to the twin cities! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you hate the 'zon our GFM does direct help.

This INCLUDES INDEPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS. Among Democrats, the number is SEVENTY SEVEN PERCENT. Any Democrat who isn't saying abolish ICE is serving someone other than you and me.

no. fuck no. what the fuck are you saying. they’re shooting people in the face. they’re going door to door. they need to be arrested not given even more funding. get the fuck out of here with “restrictions”

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

i don't know what's going to happen, but I hope everyone remembers this invasion of minneapolis forever, and dedicates some part of their lives to holding them accountable, from the fascists on the street to the fascists in DC. I know I will.

They are just illegally invading homes now. When I say this is Nazi shit isn’t not a rhetorical device. I am saying this is the thing that happened to people and it’s happening to people too

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

I think it's an unqualified good if we all go apeshit over ICE murdering renee nicole good but Black, brown, and Asian people have been getting murdered by ICE for the past year and it's so hard for me not to become the joker thinking about how little impact those deaths had by comparison

Truly why can a cartoon bird on an app make me actually floss my teeth? Whoever designed Finch is a mastermind.

As promised, we are back with a second wishlist for our friends in Minneapolis! This time @naomikritzer.bsky.social is helping out by being our local contact who will receive all the goodies you send! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... As always, you can avoid the 'zon at our GFM!

I went to my local indie yesterday and they're reading a @jodimca.bsky.social book for their book club and I was like I KNOW HER. I'm insufferable in book stores.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

Woke up thinking about this today, these words that lodged themselves in me. Reflecting on the moment my heart was broken in 2012 and what I have done with it, and learned from it, since. Not to dwell on "why not earlier" but to take honest stock of why not. To find those already in action.

how about after the Portland shooting

My very smart colleagues are doing excellent coverage of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. I would urge you to follow along with local sources familiar with the area and the residents here.

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

I think it's maybe out of fashion but I generally try to live my professional life by Ranganathan's laws of library science. #5 is, the library is a growing organism. Fines never grow a library. They just leave dust covered shelves and unused books. Books are for use (law #1).

Avoiding my geopolitical anxiety by reading the Harvard Magazine obits, and damn this issue starts off with a banger

Traitors, The Pitt, and When Calls the Heart are all coming back this week. It probably says something about my psyche that all three of those shows are appointment TV for me?

just gonna break this out again, no reason

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM PORTLAND it’s gonna be a good one bitches I can already feel it make art, punch Nazis, read romance novels, drink water, throw out the clothes you hate wearing, smash the patriarchy, say “I love you”

Tell me the ship(s) that changed you on a structural level. The ones that keep you up at night years later. FitzChivalry Farseer and the Fool was the first time I thought, I'll never be over this, in my life.

Have you ever consisted learning to draw just so you could draw fan art of Eugenides and Irene Attolia?

I run a cozy magical tavern and a beautiful witch is about to come in to weather the storm outside.

Seems weird to have the pizza roll technology and not be trying to exploit it Stop doing AI and give me a chile colorado pizza roll god damn it

2025 continues in a permanent quest to be a crisis year, i’m gonna need to pay an emergency electrician, $285 if anyone is able to help.

This is a helluva piece by local news reporters about the nightmare our city endured. Read every word about the violence & overreach, non-stop DHS lies, disgusting ICE/CPB photo ops, horrible impacts on families & communities & how local Chicago residents fought back.

Thank you so much to everyone who has chipped in. 💓 We have $2400 now which means I won't have to pay the entire month on my own, which I am extra grateful for. This amazing woman was trying so hard not to bother anyone, I'm so happy we're going to be able to take this weight off her shoulders!

Please preorder UNTIL THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT! Get signed & swagged copies from An Unlikely Story and Mysterious Galaxy! Enter receipts into my linktree for a chance to win a $100 for a bookstore. Just telling libraries and friends is supporting too 💜💜 Preorder: bookshop.org/p/books/unti...

Crinkle, curly, tot, usually in that order depending on the place. I was raised on Eegee's fries, it's in every Tucsonan's DNA.

Am I bi for the entire Critical Role cast? Sources say maybe!

remember when the democrats decided to tactically stop pointing out that these people are weird freaks no one likes

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

Hey friends, a neighbor of mine is having trouble paying the family’s rent because she hasn’t been working due to ICE’s terror regime in Minneapolis these past weeks. If anyone has some extra cash to throw her way, I’m taking up a low-key collection. My Venmo is @wrigleyfield (you can DM for last 4

Happy birthday, Jesus*

Many parts of RENT did not age gracefully but Collins hacking electronic displays to read ACTUAL REALITY ACT UP FIGHT AIDS still really hits.

Only thing to do is jump over the moon.

My mom hasn't had a drink in 41 years, today, and you know what? I'm pretty fucking grateful for that.

Absolute fucking MONSTERS.

Update: from here on in we shoot without a script

My brain: what if we rewatched BSG? What if we reread all the Thief series? What if we -- Me: what if we finished writing this book, though, hmm?

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Question for my fellow xennials: do I have to wait until 9pm EST to start blasting RENT or can we just roll that out immediately upon waking up?

Courtney once told me probably the most important writing advice I've ever gotten (and that I reminded myself of today while writing crap): if we never write books that stretch our craft, our craft never stretches. YOU have to draft the crap for it to ever become a real book.

I don't think Josh Brolin should still have a career on account of the wife beating, but if he's going to be in movies it should always be as the asshole who gets murdered.

I actually don't think I mentioned this here because it's mostly for our discord but if you are interested in hopping on zoom to deep dive dissect all the ways you can use In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan as a craft template, let me know + do a quick* read/reread!

Olivia is entirely right in all of this, but tangentially... I'm in the middle of putting together a craft class for fellow writers doing a close read of one YA romantasy novel+ several successful writers are doing it with me because feelings + escapism are HARD AS FUCK TO WRITE.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.
