When we posted about our financial uncertainty on Saturday, we didn't imagine we'd be providing an update so soon. But over the last six days the response has been huge. Y'all placed over 350 web orders, which are keeping us BUSY (thank you for your patience!). 1/4

Ted Chiang for the New Yorker in 2024. Missed this until it started making rounds again this week. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The fact that someone with the power to do so threatened to bring down the Vatican and i am unhappy about this is just, one of the crazier things in recent history

"Why don't Americans..." they do. There's brave acts happening out of sight everyday. Why don't YOU support them when they get arrested or provide material cover for them?

Centrists: he didn't pull the Genocide Lever this time! Hahahahaha TACO! This is going to tank his poll numbers. Me:

Tonight with @bunk.computer 🤓

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Good day to order the entire Danielle Cain series from Firestorm

Our friends at Firestorm are struggling in the face of disaster capitalism. A queer- and worker-owned bookstore that has, over and over, been there for the community. They let me set up a referral page with them. Books from my podcasts, my books, and books I love firestorm.coop/r/killjoy.html

tbh watching cis people get arrested on trans people's behalf is more heartening than I would have realized. It often feels like it's just us, when the going gets tough. If private businesses risk themselves to continue to allow trans people use of the correct restroom, it'll mean a lot too.

I think we all need to start referring to the american flag as "the afroman logo" instead

NEW: More than 4,000 people took the streets of Athens, Greece on March 14 in support of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika and to protest against the government's plans to evict its 400+ residents and repurpose the buildings.

This month on Strangers, we have a collection of poems from the road called Road Soda by A.A. Zatarian. The word of the month is about birds. Read along for free at TangledWilderness.org. strangers-in-a-tangled-wildern.pinecast.co/episode/ef9e...

Bad thing: big tree took down power lines in my back yard and the live wire melted a hole in my neighbor's patio two feet from my garage. Good thing: Margaret Killjoy is right, nobody is happier than a prepper who has the thing you need, shout out jackery batteries for keeping my fridge cold

i swear "Bolshevik who fought in the 1917 revolution is later killed by the Bolsheviks" is the free space on the Eastern Europe History Book bingo. Reading about a guy who survived two revolutions and a trial in England only to be executed by his own party and have his wife and both kids imprisoned

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Seriously it’s like there is a giant chunk of tech people who don’t understand that when you’ve learned how to write, you feel proud, you look forward to doing more of it, you cheerfully neglect your other work just so you can write more

okay but hear me out... maybe all cops are chatbots. You can usually rewire a cop's programming by giving it new commands. Once a friend was running from the scene of a crime and when stopped by cops for running he said "officer, there's a dog chasing me!" and the cops ran off to help.

never talk to cops or chatbots it's easy to not use AI to write. The closest I come is when I search for history shit and the AI response comes up first, but I know enough about history that I've personally noticed SO much misinformation in those AI results that there's no use case for it anyhow.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

"It’s Trans Day of Visibility but it’s also Trans Day of Have To Go To Work Anyway, or Trans Day of Who The Fuck is Hiring, or Trans Day of How Are We Going to Support All These Queers Who Are Internally Displaced Refugees Here in the States."

this week's post is about how trans visibility is, somehow, a threat to power margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-visibi...

woke up and it was pouring down rain and the cat was taking a nap on my chest and instead of getting up and at the things on my list that need doing, I read 2/3 of @margaret.bsky.social 's Danielle Cain books. why not. what is time. soon it will be may and I won't have any time.

#OtD 30 Mar 1915 legendary Catalan anarchist guerrilla, Francesc Sabate Llopart aka El Quico, was born in Barcelona. After the Civil War, he fought in the underground resistance against the Franco dictatorship, becoming Franco's public enemy no. 1 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1030...

@margaret.bsky.social introduced me to the idea of “radical sincerity” in her podcast. Stop trying to fight them with irony. Let go of your detachment and fight them with your whole, honest self.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have This Month in the Apocalypse, our monthly roundup of news and thoughts about everything that happened in March. Miriam talks about the Prarieland trial and verdict. live-like-the-world-is-dying.pinecast.co/episode/043d...

look i'm not a big "judge people by the media they consume" person but if you watch the new wizard bigot show that gives money to Rowling, I will think less of you and trust you less.

this is a fundraiser for someone convicted for protesting ICE in Portland www.gofundme.com/f/legal-pris...

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Good book!!! The Sapling Cage by @margaret.bsky.social Cover art by @hookieduke.bsky.social

New Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff 🏴 Margaret continues her conversation with Charles McBryde about the underground organization of anarcho-communists fighting against their own authoritarian government. @margaret.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/coolpeoplepod

this week's post is about how to accomplish antifascism when you don't think you can accomplish anything. And about what to get from harbor freight as a prepper, I suppose. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/if-you-wan...

My book isn't even launched yet and it's going into second printing. I cannot thank everyone enough who has helped show that this leftist, anti-zionist history is important. Preorder preorder preorder. bookshop.org/p/books/here...

this is just banditry at the hands of the state

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

First #transrightsreadathon book was The Sapling Cage by @margaret.bsky.social and unfortunately I won't be able to read anymore books because I will be hyperfixatedly rereading The Sapling Cage on repeat instead I truly cannot wait for the future sequels ;_;♡

"It’s true that the Irish weren’t quite white for most of American history, but we never had it half as bad as Black or indigenous people here, and we’ve been white for a hundred years now because we met the devil at the crossroads and sold him our soul." Loved this essay by @margaret.bsky.social

this week's post is about the embarrassing legacy of the Irish-Americans, whiteness, why I don't particularly care about St. Patrick's Day, and why it was cool when Irish Americans used to get drunk, crossdress, and kill landlords. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/fenian-bas...

Let's goooo @mollycrabapple.bsky.social is smart as shit
