Hey, @umich.edu, how's it going with the data center plans?

when they come up with some new magical unvetted answer to a longstanding problem that places even a minuscule burden on white men, wake me up please

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

I have a piece on this coming out this afternoon, but if you are faculty or a student at Angelo State in Texas or know one and have information that you'd like to share with a journalist related to ASU's new "policies" my signal is kissphoria.57

Today is the release of my first book 'The Veldt Institute'! Check out one of these bookstores: double--negative.com/stockists.html Or buy direct from Asterism: asterismbooks.com/product/the-...

I am outside your house as you read this.

If they walk it back, and your wallets follow, you will have taught them exactly how cheaply you can be bought, and confirm that you'll tolerate sacrificing human rights for everyone except those who are already unspeakably privileged.

Lawyers: Can a company theoretically even sue the federal government for defamation?

3 hours left to fund the case. A sheyd is framed for murder. The cops are closing in. To solve the case, the detective trying has to go into hell. He arms himself with a supersoaker loaded with Manischewitz. Who Framed Roger Rabbit x Stanislaw Lem. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att... 🙏

I said _ten years ago_ that these guys were pivoting hard to the right, and I was far from the first. And these stories always omit the worst of their transgressions. It should *matter* that they lie about Lina Khan! It should matter that they enabled the Rohingya genocide! They're full of shit.

Your regular reminder that trying to 'cure' autism or queerness is as medically implausible as 'curing' left-handedness, aversion to coriander, or not being able to roll your tongue. They are part of normal human variation and will keep showing up in every population in roughly the same proportions.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

This is a project translating books *from African languages* as opposed to colonial ones, also needs less than $1500 in less than a day - bsky.app/profile/auth...

cishets living in a prison where men can't tell their sons "I love you" and women can't wear authority absolutely cannot handle the notion of a marriage where "whose job is it to put on the snow tires" or "who cooks Thanksgiving dinner" are decided by who wants to and not by genital formation

This is the correct way to report on these boat strikes

Autistic advocates and researchers: please be in my email inbox [email protected] to share what type of autism research could actually be helpful instead of trying to "eliminate autism"

Anyone know how to shut this down? A Facebook page is impersonating me that has a lot of followers - is there a fast way to report it to Facebook, or can readers also do their own reports? www.facebook.com/eriinthemorn...

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

More states and local communities need to start saying no to these big tech data centers. Here, META gets big tax breaks and the people of Louisiana get a compromised water supply, higher power bills and little or none of the promised jobs. Read this excellent @wired.com piece.

Reposting this, no reason

Sending all the love to my fellow neurodivergent folks, today and every day. We require no justification, no explanation, and certainly no prevention. We’re here. 💚

If the looming threat of the trump idiot regime making up dumb bullshit about autism gives you a headache, may I offer you a Tylenol to help relieve that?

Autism doesn’t need to be cured.

Keep going. Do what you can from where you can...

can't make the essential racism of a whole ass country up.

I really feel like Bluesky is the perfect place to find candidates for this position.

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

Holy shit RFK Jr just used the idea that we should "believe all women" to defend the idea that vaccines might have caused their kids' autism, I am INCANDESCENT with rage

I think it’s telling that the cultural touch point for authoritarianism and fascism in the United States for so many white people are the fictional events of The Handmaid’s Tale and not the actual history of the United States.

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

Again, if you havent done this and deleted your account its really important that you do. This isnt any usual ToS nonsense. This is a heightened and dangerous escalation of thievery to both yourself and your work

The Supreme Court is illegitimate.

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

dudes rock

cartoonists handing the same 5 dollar bill around the Small Press Expo but it's the entire economy somehow

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

This is about someone complaining about a 2% annual levy, which is way under the amount that billionaires increase their net worth every year.

Walk this way

"I know these kinds of individualized, person-to-person acts of political and social resistance work… because it’s what the bad guys do. [...] They’re always doing whatever it is they can do, big or small, individually or collectively, to bring about more suffering."

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

"[W]e refuse to be silent. We organize, just like we have been doing when we're being threatened with displacement, just like we have been doing when we're being harassed and beaten, just like ... when we're being unjustly detained and criminalized."

I am outside your house as you read this.

This entire article was a really good read for this Monday morning www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Idaho AG makes explicit what trans people have been saying for years, that an upcoming SCOTUS case over bans on transgender athletes is a pretext for a broad decision on "whether transgender individuals are protected by the federal constitutions and state and federal laws"
