Calling congress is super easy and if you have phone anxiety, they’re not at their offices right now. You can leave a message. You can have your voice heard without having to directly interact with anyone. It’s very easy.

Just saw pink coat lady’s video and…it looks like after wrestling him down they saw a legally carried gun, yelled “Gun. Gun gun gun” and opened fire to execute him. His crime was not getting out of the street fast enough and trying to help a lady ICE shoved over to stand up. It is an execution.

A reminder: If you do experience something traumatic, studies have shown that playing Tetris afterward helps prevent PTSD symptoms. I don't use Tetris myself, but do have a match-3 renovation game on my phone for such situations. It does help me.

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.

People are angry, of course, about the masked bullies rampaging through our city. But people are also hungry for actions to take that are concrete, specific, and practical.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Hold onto your butts, data nerds. I've been looking Evil Hat's distro performance — solely based on our distro invoicing that we do through Freshbooks; we don't invoice IPR there so they aren't represented in these data. The TLDR: 2025 was the worst year for EH's distribution in the past 10 years.

I posted last night but I'm reposting today for better reach. I'm looking for new artists to use in the magazine for 2026. We aren't at the stage where we can commission anyone, but if you have fantasy/sci-fi art to license, I would like to hear from you. Message me here or at the email in profile.

GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie. These companies may now face for even more liability for violating copyrights. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Remember like two days ago when that Hilton branch in Minnesota canceled ICE's reservation and the Hilton company punished them for it? Boy I think maybe Hilton should be informed about what happened today. 888/446-6677

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

If you've prepared your Christmas tree properly, by now it should be: - humming softly - vibrating slightly - levitating a little - wreathed in Eldritch flame - whispering dark incantations to summon ancient elves

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Chernobyl fungi has been known to be weirdly resistant to radiation, but I didn't know it actually seems to grow BETTER when irradiated... share.google/zLlLADj9yst0...

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Making a new post. The short version is that, after having a laptop and tablet stolen, I need to quickly replace them, since I use them for my job. My financial situation was precarious before; it's going to be much worse if I miss work. Trying to raise $1,100; I'm at $500. paypal.me/coxendine

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

I just called both my Senators and my Congressman to tell them to fight to strip this lunacy from the defense authorization act. Then I wrote them each letters. You can, too! Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Over 200 people speak out in defiance of union busting - that's amazing support!

Tabletop roleplaying games are so special and unique because they ask you to consider The Body. They live internally, somewhere inside your brain. And in that space of your brain, all things weight the same: fiction and reality, diegetic and non-diegetic, how you feel and how you want to feel.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm. The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song. This is the story of this terrible tragedy. 🧵1/20

“I hope the Supreme Court halts further attempts by public officials to use their personal faith to deny others their civil and human rights,” the civil rights icon told The Advocate.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Some of the best advice I ever heard was from @silviamg.bsky.social who said that you shouldn't set goals that require other people to do what you want. You can write a book. That's a goal. You can't control whether anyone buys it. Other people have free will.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
