important update my dog is woofing and wagging his tail in his sleep with his eyes open, like I can see his eyes moving in REM sleep while he does it. i love the demon that my friend found by the side of the road and gave to me.

AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:

Wake up babe, @margaret.bsky.social wrote another absolute banger. "Many people, understandably, are happy to be less responsible for themselves and their needs and their decisions...because the civilized world seems to have been built on unfreedom" margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/the-worker...

i'll probably delete my account or at least go completely inactive if bluesky ends up requiring age verification in my area. I'm not showing my ID to this social media app. I suppose I'll start migrating to Mastadon and accept that the cyberpunks were right all along. @[email protected]

Wait that big wooden horse is full of fucking GREEKS??

I don't use this word lightly, but this is evil.

well, fuck, it happened. 12 years ago I was excited about self-driving cars and a friend of mine said "you know they'll just drive people to jail, right?" So I wrote a story called One Star and sold it to Vice. www.vice.com/en/article/o...

For Eli Jacobson Kenneth Rexroth 1952 There are few of us now, soon There will be none. We were comrades Together, we believed we Would see with our own eyes the new World where man was no longer Wolf to man, but men and women Were all brothers and lovers Together. We will not see it.

I wrote a newsletter that about doing the things the person you want to be would do; I share some of what I have been working on, including supporting Grace Pinson fundraising for her release from federal prison and about my data center organizing. buttondown.com/howdowelivet...

If you liked our lead belly episodes, the best book on the subject (by far, tbh) is from @scbernard.bsky.social, here's a link to it. www.cambridge.org/core/books/b...

I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

#America250 ? 250 years? Pfft. The Prairieland Defendants were just collectively sentenced to TWICE that long for protesting outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. 1/4

the rulers of America aren't politicians, they're thieves stripping the walls for cooper

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

Hell yeah we are

"Fascists will build a prison for cis women built out of trans people’s bones."

this week's post is about sports, and about how the signify acceptance in society, from the point of view of someone who was never accepted within them margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/its-just-s...

junk mail is really weird because I'm pretty sure that if I paid someone to leave trash at somebody's house I would get in trouble

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

this week's episodes have me and prop tracing "stay woke" back to Lead Belly in 1938.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

New blog post! Check out my review of THE LAMB WILL SLAUGHTER THE LION by @margaret.bsky.social, a book that hasn’t left my brain since I first read it years ago: www.thegothiclibrary.com/review-of-th... 💙📚 😱📚

The guy at the 1900's world fair who had the mechanical Turk missed a trick by not claiming with enough investment it could replace all workers

Genuinely, I wonder if AI is the greatest scam ever pulled

On This Month in the Apocalypse, Inmn and @margaret.bsky.social cover the woes of June, including heat waves in Europe and India, the hidden tolls of rising heat, the indictments of the DAM 15, and the sentencing of the Prairieland Defendants live-like-the-world-is-dying.pinecast.co/episode/6d13...

"The London ambulance service said it had recorded the highest number of life-threatening emergencies in a single day in its history, driven by the extreme heat." So... can we, I don't know, start doing something about global warming now? Like, as a society? www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

this week's post is thoughts and reviews and a preview of Throkda the Barbarian Queen in the Village of Ash (my new serial that dares to answer that question everyone has been asking: what if fantasy adventurers showed up in Asheville, North Carolina) margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/thoughts-a...

these are the sentences for 8 of the Prairieland federal trial defendants Judge Mark Pittman: Benjamin Song: 100 years Maricela Rueda: 70 years Elizabeth Soto, Meagan Morris: 50 years Judge Reed O'Connor: Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Autumn Hill: 50 years Daniel "Des" Sanchez Estrada: 30 years

I've started a serial called "Throkda the Barbarian Queen in the Village of Ash" about some adventurers living in a fantasy world who cross through to Asheville, North Carolina. And for the foreseeable future, you can only get it in Foghorn Mag, "an anarchist record of marginal life." foghornmag.com

Here is a statement from Champagne, aka Benjamin Song, the most maligned of the Priarieland protestors. Champagne was just sentenced to 100 years for shooting and injuring a police officer who had just drawn a weapon on an unarmed, fleeing protestor. prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-wr...

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Holy shit this is terrible, even by the terrible standard set at *every* previous point in this case 😭

can't believe they're making @iwriteok.bsky.social the next prime minister of the UK. Just when you think you know a guy, he winds up the prime minister.

do you like my new smart watch it's smart because it doesn't connect to any networks or accounts and it has no AI and it doesn't track me or sell my personal information and it's just a watch and it costs like $22 and its battery lasts seven years

it is really, really important to remember that this is what the Democratic party represents and the fact that they're better than fascism is literally their only selling point.

Idk man, I feel like the pool's doing a better job reflecting this country than it ever has before.

It’s true

EXACTLY. I’ve said this a million times but I and the rest of the Broadview 6 are still picking up the pieces of our lives emotionally and financially. This is incredibly stressful in every way possible, and there is no guarantee for a just outcome.
