If I have to hear one more white bro expounding upon the virtues of AI in this coffee shop I am going to quit drinking coffee

I’m begging lefties and liberals to stop posting things that erase the reality of how violent the US has been to Indigenous people and Black people (among other US populations) ever since its inception and along the way. PLEASE. Do not copy conservatives by erasing history.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

The end of episode 5 is like a neon “Why Representation Matters” sign 😭

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. It’s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence. We can’t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.

Once again, in all of this, it’s the kids who fucking lose. Every time.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

OUR INDUSTRY WILL DIE IF WE CAN'T STEAL YOUR WORK BUT EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY CREATED NOTHING OF VALUE I mean idk if it was me I might have workshopped that one for a little longer.

it is incredibly easy to believe that seven super-wealthy tech CEOs are delusional

Started #DoctorWho Spectral Scream by @hannahfergesen.bsky.social . So you're telling me the Doctor's running around a mushroom planet with this hairdo, eyeliner and a sequin kilt? I'm totally here for it. These novels easily rival the TV series. EASILY!

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

I remain convinced that nothing will ever fuck me up like the necromancer lesbians of the Ninth House

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Something I noted a couple of times here today at GenCon is that I think it's important for publishers to invest in "midlist" and/or newer authors because the cash cows at the top can die, stop producing, or blow up in scandals, and if you don't have a stable of writers to step up, you're screwed.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

The Murderbot TV show has been a total breath of fresh air — and it's got some fantastic lessons about how loving stories can help save us. And change us. <3

Screw elevator pitches. True masters of the craft use trapdoor pitches, which send you flailing down into endless darkness while they explain how they fused romantasy with cozy body horror

It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.

It's almost like it's the diff between a generation who got calls mostly from friends and one that gets calls mostly from scammera

A secret police in every way.

Saw someone say patriarchy is just affirmative action for white men and I can’t stop thinking about it

My latest #DoctorWho treats have arrived. Written by @emilyrosina.bsky.social and @hannahfergesen.bsky.social with covers by @leebinding.bsky.social

BREAKING: "Metadata embedded in the [Epstein] video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified." www.wired.com/story/metada...

The president of the US called his new concentration camp in Florida ‘a little controversial, but I couldn’t care less.' We cannot simply note that this happened and move on. How many times are we going to say 'never again' before it actually sticks? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s going back to the House. Call your Reps. There’s still ways to fight if you have fight left in you.

If you look around at everything and all you have to complain about is Zohran Mamdani, you’re probably an asshole.

actually I'll plant the flag. In the context of the modern Democratic Party, I not only don't care about "experience" but even see it as an impediment. If a D politician is "experienced" it probably means they've been doing stupid or downright evil shit the whole time, or that they're 85 years old

For the first time since leaving NYC I am so jealous of voters in NYC. Fuck yes Zohran.

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life? “They should have sent a poet.”

dear publishing: the teens in my store are currently reading THE HUNGER GAMES and SIX OF CROWS and DIVERGENT and have asked me repeatedly this week for SHATTER ME. can we bring younger, genre-driven, pulpy dystopias and dystopian fantasy back? they really, really want it. thank youuuuuuu. xoxo me

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? A perfectly legal publishing contract can be hugely disadvantageous to the writer. If you don't understand what you're reading, seek *and follow* professional advice. Signed something that rips you off? Getting redress can be impossible

Maybe we should Cause I’d read the hell out of a dragon opera.

This is mostly because the median Democratic politician insists on constructing a made-up median American voter in their head, who they base on some combination of Archie Bunker and William Buckley.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Proud of and miss you, Philly!!!

NOW we’re talking about the excesses of law enforcement. But this should have been part of the robust and ongoing conversation about our democracy’s unraveling long before Trump’s latest ICE raids.

Anything other than peaceful protest plays right into their hands. It's why @indivisible.org stresses non-violence in all of their protest organization.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights But state’s rights

Writing sure does help get the bees outta my head. (Finally had the presence of mind to do some writing tonight. This book is so close to being finished, but… life.)

Known fans of violence LAPD says it was a peaceful protest today. Everybody mark this press release.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Earlier today, David Huerta, President of SEIU-USWW, was tased, injured, and detained by ICE while being a community observer in LA.The Trump Administration continues to use force to silence labor leaders and intimidate workers.This is unacceptable and their voices will not be silenced. @seiu.org
