We haven't had an honest accounting or reckoning across any part of the political spectrum - left to right. One of the most disillusioning periods for me seeing people who claim Leftist politics ABSOLUTELY SPRINT to abandon the sick and vulnerable. It has rearranged a lot for me.

Not just the rich and that's also something to sit with.

Santa visiting the International Space Station. As one does. youtu.be/V2O2RtKMuVQ?...

When I was a kid we had to use the PHONE to get NORAD Santa updates … oh, wait. www.noradsanta.org

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

For Tucsonans I’d add @azluminaria.org, @tucsonagenda.bsky.social, and @tucsonsentinel.com. For everyone I’d add @erininthemorning.com.

Makes us even.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

But when they do flow? They have serious power.

Between Bones of Faerie and the current project, I clearly think rivers have serious power. Pretty bold coming from a writer who lives someplace they don't even flow year-round.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

Wtf @gallego.senate.gov? www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-senato... This is not what I voted for when I voted for you.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

If you’re in Arizona and also didn’t vote for this, let Senator Gallego know — his number is (480) 697-3600.

Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪 Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

Morning Tucson!

I often forget just how good it feels to get into the mountains, even for just a little while.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

I’ve walked away twice from unacceptable short story contract terms, and not regretted it at all either time. Not being afraid to walk away when we need to is so, so important.

Just playing another round of “is it light pollution or is it the aurora?”

People say wolves are intelligent, but a third of our staff was able to beat them in head-to-head Chutes and Ladders.

HAVE YOU VOTED YET? 🇺🇸

As someone who -has- voted blue for centrist and conservative dems for decades because yes, the alternative was always worse, I feel betrayed and lied to by so much of my party for not being willing to do the same thing they repeatedly asked of me when -they- became the ones uneasy with a candidate.

City Council and school funding here. It all matters. Vote, even if the races and propositions on your ballot aren’t making headlines.

I hope that romance novels will be written about people who meet each other on neighborhood ICE monitoring patrols. They will see each other regularly on the streets, be drawn to each other by the visible whistles around their necks, get to know one another, fall in love, and end fascism.

I love this entire series so much.

Arizona and Hawaii welcome the rest of the country back to standard time.

In which my alma mater, Washington University, comes as close as they can to supporting Trump’s compact while remaining able to say that they didn’t sign it. 😞 andrewdmartin.washu.edu/washu-to-joi...

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

These are … things I have actually been thinking/wondering about the past few years. (Heads off to get book.)

Well, Arizona’s monsoon season was a disappointment, but our hurricane season’s looking promising.

Happy book birthday to WEIWEI’S WINTER SOLSTICE, my author-illustrator debut!! 🥳 www.michellejingchan.com/weiweis-wint...

Look up whether your works are included in the Anthropic settlement and file a claim here. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup (PSA: Search on both your name and your titles. One of my eligible works didn't show up on an author search because of a stray comma.)

This exactly.

You can say, "I support the Democratic party’s nominee for mayor of New York City.” That would work, @schumer.senate.gov

Shoutout to Gen Alpha for making the entire educational establishment afraid to say the numbers 6 and 7 consecutively. It's a brilliant troll made all the more glorious by the fact it doesn't actually mean anything.

I just read that JK Rowling thinks Emma Watson is “ignorant of how ignorant she is,” and has there ever been so perfect a case of someone telling on themselves when they think they’re telling on someone else?

Stepped outside to practice taiko just in time to see a Space X launch.
