A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this. It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.

We Didn't Start the Fire. With Bardot's passing three people mentioned in the song remain alive

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers. I use social media to talk to people about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

In case you were curious about Tom Cotton's character.

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) announced that it will no longer publish content on Elon Musk’s platform, X. The organization said it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

Newborn tiger cub with its mama.

#booksky #bookqw word: GIRL The men of the Smith family are fairy-smiths. The women are midwives. It's all earth-witching one way or another, with the same combination of arcane knowledge, social work and wishing more of your neighbours used the sense God gave them.

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)

Weird how an extremely corrupt administration says all of the programs that help working class people are corrupt

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

It gets crazier. Source in Maryland Gov Wes Moore's admin tells me they informed Trump officials that the ailing counties were in Appalachia, and the Trump people were surprised to hear this! (Supports @jamellebouie.net's point about MAGA's Balkanized vision of US) newrepublic.com/article/2022...

Really happy to see folks in the SF/F community here stepping up and donating to food banks and organizations that feed people. This is @adapalmer.bsky.social's doing, and it's making a difference. You can donate too, even if you're not on the Bluesky SF/F community. Need is everywhere.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job” First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality. Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work. Third, no one should starve to death.

You wanna follow some cool trans writers? I gotcha. go.bsky.app/VaypaqC

Trump is simply a man who gives people permission to be the worst versions of themselves and little do they know that the most likely outcome of being a dangerous random asshole in public is to have your livelihood ruined

Good lord. I published this story. I had no idea. No love for the school board of Otsego, Michigan.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Pretty cool

I just saw a headline: "Hack of age verification firm exposes user information" and that's A HUGE PROBLEM. This is why age verification isn't doing what you think it is. It's creating databases that child predators will actively go after.

We told you that hiring a woman of colour to do social media for you doesn’t make you a good person. Please hire a good person to be your candidate for president. There are far better governors out there.

This descriptive quote from @acitrano.bsky.social says it all. "It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face."

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Absolutely this.

So maybe the Rapture *was* yesterday and God was like, ugh, no thanks, I don’t want any of these
