At the core of the counterargument to Trumpism is the ideal that we are all in this together. There is no one who deserves neglect or suffering from the government because of their political views. Not even if they voted for the suffering of others.

I am in need of a new tattoo, but i can't decide *what*

I unintentionally flopped on his lap once. He was polite, we discussed opals. Never had contact with him again. Figured out he was a schmuck later.

*chortle*

If you really think you’re living under a dangerously authoritarian regime run by a mad man (which I believe we are), then you really should start acting like it And like Step 1 of that is “do not post about doing crimes the regime would love to publicly prosecute leftists for on social media.”

You have FOUR (4) more days to order a Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirt, designed by the lovely and talented @franzanth.bsky.social. In this nightmare of a year, merch is keeping @skypeascientist.bsky.social afloat. Even if you don't order, RT's help so much! Get 'em: squidfacts.bigcartel.com

There’s no way to ease into this news, so here it is. Today, I am announcing ConCurrent Seattle, a one-day SFFH con intended to be an alternative program to WorldCon, scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the ACT Theatre in downtown Seattle at 700 Union Street, across from the Sheraton. 1/7

All of this.

No shit... now, consequences?

Anti-trans people are awful, full stop.

SpaceX goes 💥, but… 🌏 United Launch Alliance 🌎 has delivered OVER 150 🚀 government payloads into SPACE since 2006 with a…. 100% SUCCESS RATE 🌎 💫 You don’t hear much about them because their CEO isn’t a raging narcissist who needs constant attention. 💁🏻‍♂️ ☄️ 🌒

ICE is the NeoGestapo. This is not hyperbolic, this is fact. Heir actions are the same. They hide their faces and go plain-clothed because they *know* they'd face backlash if identified.

I've been out of one of my meds for a week, and it is doing unpleasant things to my cognition.

Your periodic reminder that immigration "judges" are employees of the executive branch who, despite serving a quasi-juridical function, can be fired at the whim of the president and AG like most DOJ employees. They are not independent Article III judges.

"Scientific insiders." You mean...scientists? The people who do science and understand it? I'm not saying they're beyond suspicion, but when I look at the US over the past 20 years, I do not have the impression that our major problem is that _scientists_ have too much power.

interviewer: Why did you make Heracles bi? me: Oh, I didn't. He did it himself.

Fucking bullshit.

This summers must-have accessory is, of course, the snacklebox:

This is, indeed, ART

ZOMG

How DARE we not treat young white men like the center of the universe!

This whole thing is amazing but I was not prepared for the reveal that Atrus was wearing a Hard Rock Cafe shirt the entire time

I adore men. I hate smug little assholes that think they are entitled to getting away with shitty behavior because they have a duck in their pants. Like this guy.

I wrote a bit about The Wheel of Time's cancellation, which is a genuine gut-punch to those of us who've been waiting forever for female-focused stories in the fantasy space.

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build. But it doesn't work. It blows up.

A great article (below). And it gives me an excuse to repost my own portrait of little Toumaï. #SciArt

It's like how every single UBI study says it only has benefits and even saves governments money, and then governments simply don't want to do it.

@edoublea.com, I think Wikkity upgraded.

No safety for Nazis

Hahahaaaaaaaaaa oh my god okay I was terrified of these videos at the time (I was like 6) and this is incredible news

I have fosters at my studio! youtu.be/youLgz9Trx8?...

MAGA: We demand a Govt based on the Bible! Me: Ok great. Let’s start with Deuteronomy 15: “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made.” MAGA: Not that part of the Bible #CancelStudentDebt #CancelMedicalDebt

There is an owl out doing single hoots, so #merlinbirdapp thinks it's a mourning dove.
