Man who wouldn’t wear mask to protect people fine wearing mask to shoot them

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

Earlier today I was thinking about the tactic of providing people with legal authority to take custody of children when their parents are disappeared, and lo, it is happening.

Sooo I just found out that More Than Two, Second Edition is included in the @parademag.bsky.social list of best nonfic books of all time, as chosen by librarians. How awesome is that?! 😊 📚💚 cc @everickert.bsky.social parade.com/books/best-n...

I think it's worth pointing out that part of why the twin cities has a large Hmong population is because of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war. They sided with the US.

Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous, because it will make officers angry and they just tend to snap and kill people, you know

Vancouverites - sharing this widely! It's about time. If other dentists want more business, it's time to adapt to meet the reality we're living in 🦷

*screams silently in Canadian* NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO GROW A FUCKING SPINE, MARK CARNEY!

Because Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al. we're famously all held accountable 🙃

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister). Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Oh yeah so I went and wrote another book! Kindle out now, audio out December 31. Print on its way (sooner if you're in Canada)—pre-orders up now.

Oops forgot to tag the author @everickert.bsky.social who is, as always, great

Mostly just sharing because this image made me giggle at a time that I really needed it.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Such a lovely review of More Than Two, Second Edition! Thanks for the thoughtful engagement with our book, Anthony. cc @everickert.bsky.social :) #morethantwobook #morethantwo anthonyrella.com/review-more-...

Mathematical text analysis confirms what the humans knew: we wrote a whole new book! 😁📚😁 Check out @everickert.bsky.social's thread if you're curious about how different More Than Two, Second Edition is from its predecessor. #morethantwobook #morethantwo

“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”

Today I asked ChatGPT to compare the PDFs of More Than Two (2014) and More Than Two, Second Edition (2024) to see how much of the text was actually changed, and whether the answer lined up with my and @andreazanin.bsky.social’s off-the-cuff estimate of ~95%. #morethantwobook #morethantwo

Walked into a Canadian Tire and no longer know what holiday season we’re celebrating anymore

Over the last few months I've somehow gotten sucked into watching a bunch of serialized Tudor-era historical drama, and I gotta say, Mary I doesn't get the attention she deserves in fiction about that era. Mary I was the original Anakin Skywalker.

A prepandemic study found that if WA adopted Idaho's tax system, we'd have at least another $9B per year coming into state coffers, making it significantly easier to ride out Trump 2.0.

Trump 2.0 has really exposed how brittle and broken the West Coast states' tax systems are. WA, OR, and CA all have a 1% property tax cap. WA has a sales tax but no income tax; OR has an income tax but no sales tax. It is not possible to effectively resist Trump without fixing these tax systems.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art

My personal remembrance of Jane Goodall is that, as a child and young adult, I always felt a little ashamed about the strength of my love and empathy towards animals, but then she came along and made me feel seen and validated about that.

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962. “[W]e have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.” 🌱🐋 # HistSTM 🧪🌎 #philsci #philsky #WomeninSTEM

Very excited that our books will be at the PNBA Fall Tradeshow in Spokane! Huge love to @everickert.bsky.social and Thornapple Press for inviting Nine Ten to share their table (#27!). (I won't be there myself, which makes me especially grateful for this arrangement.) www.pnba.org/2025-exhibit...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Canada once again looking good only by comparison to the USA.

Exciting! Hope you love it! 🤩

I just sent this out. The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment. It is a choice not to heed them. Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.

Swallowing my jealousy to share this incredibly lucky spot. Leatherback sea turtles are endangered in Canada, and very infrequently seen around here. This one was probably cruising through to eat some jellyfish when somebody got to see it. 🐢🌊

hi

It has come to my attention that I have friends who have not been properly informed that there are numbats in the world. (Images from Perth Zoo and Project Numbat. Links in descriptions.)

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

I will say it again like I’ve said 100 times before: one of the most radical things you can do right now to show solidarity is put back on a N 95 or better mask anytime you are outside with people. It is a small signifier that you are invested in community and its health.
