Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

I think this is the most capital-S Scholarly title I have seen in years, love it

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

My interest in current day spaceflight plummeted for the last year or so, but Artemis II reignited that in a very emotional way. This says it all. There was always so much blind worshipping of SpaceX and ignoring other companies as well as NASA. I gave up for a while. Time to refocus on good stuff

To everyone asking for a template: voila 🤲🏽 I even added a frame! Just in time for somebody to put live-action Maui in there Please meme responsibly 🫶🏽

Every time I see a screenshot of these right wing suits sneering “low IQ” at people who read for a living I wince. At worst they’re deliberately aping the speech of a demented pedo and at best they’re jockeying for the post of holotype for “loser”

Audiobook reviewer challenge: find ANYTHING to comment on that ISNT how annoying the female narrators voice is. god you people have all the observational insight and imagination of municipal concrete

@tkingfisher.com your books are so good and I read every single one of them and I mean this in the best way possible but I planned to sleep tonight and after Wolf Worm that’s NOT happening for a hot minute

Anyway HAPPY FRIDAY today is a good day to pick up THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST, a finalist for the Nebula, Hugo, Aurora, Locus, Ignyte, and World Fantasy award! Join us on a rescue mission in a dangerous magical forest where all the rules are just suggestions...

This is a fabulous interview with @tkingfisher.com! Everybody should read it. (And I saw whut you did thar, mon ami. Thanks very much!) ☺️ https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/books/review/t-kingfisher-wolf-worm.html

Whenever I've posted about this fact online people try to catch me out as a liar in the dumbest possible way. They go "erm I THINK that cat would be dead by now..." YEAH M8 THE FILM IS 40 YEARS OLD OF COURSE HE'S FUCKING DEAD. But, and this will shock you, at one point in the past: he was alive.

Me: gets out of bed in the middle of the night to get more water The cat getting up to trot after me: Weeoo~? Kragh!

my take on birth rate discourse: If the only way our species can keep going is by forcing the half of the population born with Unlucky Organs into reproductive slavery, we should go extinct, and good riddance

Whatever's wrong with me, its working

just because people are saying this again: no, catholics are not less conservative than protestants, for both it depends on a lot of cultural contexts and in general if it is a majority religion in a country, it will tend to be a predictor for conservatism.

Our release date is still seven months away, but my book is now up on the Yale website. Grateful to so many people who helped make this possible. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

If I were the Greenlanders, I'd check that hospital ship for Odysseus and his Greeks before letting it anywhere near shore, given that it's a weird creepy unnecessary oddly shaped "gift" no public reporting on what is happening in Greenland explains and Trump is Temu Agamemnon

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Wow.

The River Speaks My Name by Ocoxōchitl la Coyota is a visceral piece - stark and poignant. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

"The story of the Knight and the Witch always ends in tragedy." Tasha Suri's The Isle in the Silver Sea is a lush exploration of immigration, assimilation, and storytelling. Read @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's review:

Discord recently announced that many more users will need to scan their face or upload ID, verifying their age so they can continue to access parts of the platform. Someone quickly made a tool that they say bypasses it with a simple 3D model you control www.404media.co/free-tool-sa...

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

IMPORTANT READ, given our increasingly fractured reality. Watch out for: 1: Telling you the story before they know the story. 2: Telling you the story of what’s in someone’s heart or mind. 3: Amping up the story with big adjectives. shorturl.fm/xt5J6 via @nycjayjay.bsky.social

Some very good tips! This is why I often just post one image at a time, but two works for me often since the 1:1 ration is a pretty common crop. The rest are questionable for art and crop weird unless they're all landscape. This is exactly why I started creating a collage for my portfolio day posts!

Growl!

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories. I hope it helps your transition off US tech!

People with trauma histories often interpret neutral cues as negative. "You can come if you want." sounds to them like the person doesn't actually want them to come. Affirming that you want them there helps remove any doubts.

I choose to take this as a positive omen. (As named and drawn by Paul Kidby, illustrator of Discworld.)

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

I'm reading Going Postal right now and he explains why, in a world that includes magic, people do not use magic to do everything (or anything, for the most part) basically, it's inherently unpredictable and you know it will cost you but you don't know how or when

I was like “why is this trailer so much more amazing than it has any right to be” and then I got to the end and the credits said “screenplay by @clmazin.bsky.social” so, mystery solved youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

"I refuse." This is it. There's no reason we should accept a narrative of an already settled future which marginalizes humans and individual agency. No one wants this. No one asked for it.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

“Choosing your friends is an echo chamber,” the troll screamed miserably from outside the restaurant window at your birthday party-

AI imagery is the equivalent of Plato’s prisoner being bored of sunlight, clambering down into a cave, shackling himself to a rock to watch shadows cast by firelight and forgetting that the world above exists.
