You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was? Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.

Dear everyone: if there is text in your image, please include it in your alt text. Screen readers can't read images. And lots of low vision people have the font on their tech set to what they can read, whereas everything else is a gamble.

Abolish ICE and print the names of everyone employed by them

A good day to tell everyone about one of my favorite websites: the Commercial Pattern Archive: copa.apps.uri.edu Vintage patterns all the way back to 1857, for personal research and reference.

A tale of two June 6 front page headlines

i guess it’s time to link some of my favorite indie pattern companies: fridaypatterncompany.com cashmerette.com sewhouse7.com seamwork.com

This is the one

1/ I'm frankly a bit baffled by the claims that the Trump/Musk feud is a "sideshow". (Don't even get me started about the claims that it's kayfabe.)

Updated my yard sign.

I’ve also now written up a simple contract termination/ rights reversion request to send to your editors, Unbounders. DM if you need it. Not just posting links publicly because it contains peoples’ email addresses

Also use alternatives! Especially when authors are looking to divest from the 'Zon. Some great places would be: - The StoryGraph - Bookbub - Itchio - B&N - Beanstack - Your blog (if you have one) I'm sure there are more out there. Help us out wherever you can review books. Srsly, it's so helpful!

We could just house people instead.

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for John, because he lost his dream, too. But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

This is fucking incredible! I'm tearing up because of the lives this might change. One step at a time bioscientists are making a better world without HIV possible.

Indeed, this pie was invented for days like these

Hey guys. GOOD NEWS. Ronald Reagan is still DEAD.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Is "kill the ones I miss" the most romantic thing that has ever appeared in a fantasy TV show? I would argue yes. And I'm a professional.

This moment of bravery and defiance and strength was a gift to the world. Solidarity and support to these extraordinary humans and pokotiwha NZ's racist parliament for their disgusting vote

DPP is always tight on money, but we support a few causes monthly and QLL is one of them. If you can kick some money their way, I for one def recommend you do some!

We're taking a moment to glance back at May and check-out some of the awesome things made by people who also publish with Duck Prints Press! The May Created Works Round-Up includes some art, some fic, some fandoms, some original. Check it out: duckprintspress.com/2025/06/04/m...

Happy #GlobalRunningDay to all my fellow Fives! Stay safe out there #ZombiesRun

it’s almost like courage in the face of fascism is rewarded by voters or something

GREAT NEWS: One of the detained Lynn-Ette farm workers taken by ICE in upstate New York has been released on bond. He is relieved to be home with his family. His immigration case will continue, with good legal representation and with our full support. 1/

The AI discourse is awful. When people think of AI - they obviously think of shitty prompt based generative AI. I'm really hoping that the backlash against the plagiarism machine doesn't harm legitimate uses like translation and communication software and smarter dictation/speech-to-text.

Pay no attention to the 700 devs behind the curtain

"Astra’s plan is to have that assistant constantly watching, listening, and waiting for its moment to step in." Sometimes it really feels like tech execs are watching sci-fi horror films for inspiration.

I feel like a lot of the political strife I see on my timeline comes down to the word "welcome" and the fight for democracy. I am not going to welcome (invite happily in and embrace as a friend) any Trump voters into my life. But I will accept them into the fight IF they are truly fighting.
