BREAKING: Palestinian witnesses and hospitals say Israeli forces opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central Gaza, killing at least 25 people.

I need a Muslim consult for the book I’m working on. Preferably a woman, but any gender expression is fine, I just need to take a quite odd & reproductively confrontational SF concept very seriously from an Islamic perspective. Can anyone on BS help me out?

Trying to get back to full function with my work and streams. But I need a PC again to do so. Shares greatly appreciated, y'all. 💙 throne.com/artificerind...

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

People who don’t like AI aren’t in denial about how useful it is. People who like AI are in denial about how useful it is

It's launch day and we're going to space! The US edition of THE FOLDED SKY is available now in ebook, TPB, and hardcover, and there are wonderful new Stephen Youll covers for ANCESTRAL NIGHT and MACHINE. books2read.com/b/mBB0QZ

Politicians being gunned down in their homes. Military detaining citizens. Due process not existing as people are sent to foreign prisons. I don't know how we come back from this point, but I do know I'll never forgive the people who led us here.

Ummm. I glanced at the parade news and it seems… rather sparsely attended. How embarrassing.

Joined a group of New Yorkers chanting “quit your job” at armed police outside the ICE offices in downtown Manhattan. It was, in fact, cathartic

Please keep posting about how no one came to Trump’s loser parade I’m going to like all of them

please hire maddy to words for you. she words real good. i should know, i'm a professional wordser myself.

We are getting reports of clinics shutting down that provide care to trans youth over the latest CMS letter threat. If your clinic has shut down or you work at one, or your child's clinic has shut down, please send us a DM - we are putting together a big story on this.

Somebody invite me to a fancy dress garden party, STAT 😤

You would be foolish to NOT hire Maddy. She's incredible!

i quit polygon; today's my last day. back to being an intergalactic bounty hunter (full-time freelance writer)! you'll soon see my bylines elsewhere & ofc you can still hear my video game opinions on Triple Click weekly. if you've got room in your budget for me: maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com <3

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

BOOKSTORES OF THE PLANET EARTH! Or, well, bookstores of mostly North America. We know you took a hit during COVID, and we would like to do what little we can to help! So we are once again doing a PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN for independent bookstores.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Sorry but if you knowingly endorse a sexual predator I will lose respect for you permanently

I'm not able to stream today before @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social ends for this season. I'm only $280 from the final goal of $2,750 It would be dope if we could hit that final number by end of day. So if you got some coinage to spare, the kids would appreciate your support. tilt.fyi/Bd4ukBaWSr

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Would you like a cut scene from The Martian Contingency? Some first editions from a variety of authors? Tuckerization opportunities? The @locusmag.bsky.social fundraiser is on its last 36 hours, so explore the perks here and lend your support to Locus Magazine: www.indiegogo.com/projects/loc...

Getting dressed for a funeral (just going to support a family member) and I just want to say, when it's my time I don't want anybody in black except the Goths, and from the Goths I want full club drag. That is all.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

Not specifically trans related, but I suspect that AI wrote part of this, and we will observe a similar phenomena with papers produced by the government about trans health. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Those of us whose work was used to train LLMs should file a class-action custody suit as ChatGPT’s genetic parents. I’m not kidding. Real Life Actual Court. We playing law games? Oh, ok, let’s play. If corpos are people, I’m .01% that little shit’s Mom. See you at pick-up, OpenAI.

Tabletop makers are pushing back against Trumps' tariffs with honesty, but also calls for direct political action. @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social spoke with publishers who say the economic chaos has fostered solidarity -- and a will to fight.
