A friend of mine met AS in Ptown and, when AS coyly described himself as a writer, my friend pretended not to recognize him and was like "aw, keep working at it, I'm sure you'll get published someday!" which is the funniest neg possible.

“Instead of investigating, talking to me or my team, or exploring any kind of fair process, they used the ‘at-will’ clause in my contract to terminate me on the spot. No warning. No meeting. No due diligence. Just the words ‘poor decision making’ on a piece of paper after 15 years of service.”

"There’s nothing unreasonable about expecting libraries to keep sexually explicit material out of their children’s sections" sure but the book you're talking about isn't sexually explicit!!!!! www.theblacksheartimes.com/article/6682...

This needs to be better known. People are getting fired over picture book displays.

Is it just me or does Mamdani's victory contradict a lot of what Sarah McBride is saying to do in that interview?

Update to this post–now a manager has been fired over this. The library closed for a few days to handle the staff disruption. What an absolutely unnecessary mess, all facilitated by a handful of local bigots. www.theblacksheartimes.com/article/6692...

Pierce County Library (GA) fired a library worker over the inclusion of a book with a trans character in a book display. Second library in a week to have *fired a library worker* over queer books in book displays. www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news...

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

I wish I still lived in NYC so I could vote for Zohran.

It will not surprise any of you to learn, I think a lot about taxonomy. The current system we use (Linnean classification) groups animals by common descent, and uses similarity of structures and the fossil record to try and do so accurately. "How closely related are these, in evolutionary terms?"

I had a hard time putting this down to go to sleep last night - such a gorgeous read from @kylelukoff.bsky.social

Books build empathy, and this genre-bender goes deep into the experience of transgender teens as they face off against actual demons bent on destroying them. It's an action-dystopian-horror-fantasy that's steeped in Jewish mythology, and it's totally #youngteenlit @kylelukoff.bsky.social #tlsky

Martin Niemoller: first they came for the socialists... Dem consultants: our polls suggest we should also come for the socialists!!

so far the greatest contribution made by (purported) AI is quickly identifying (so many) people, who get paid to read and write, who have lost (or never had) respect for reading and writing

Trump bombed Iran without Congressional authorization so what is Dem leadership saying? “We must race to provide retroactive authorization for this illegal act.”

A hallmark of conspiracy theories is obsession with cover-ups and "censorship" over actual evidence of their core claims. If kids were being rushed into surgeries, these articles would show it! Instead they are relitigating arcane academic drama about a review not getting published.

A librarian in Georgia was fired for putting one of my books on display. I'm a former librarian and this is even more devastating than when I hear about the book being banned. www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news...

Keeping Jewish people safe is not the same as protecting their feelings from being hurt by things they do not wish to hear about Israel. It's the same phenomenon as outlawing talking about racism in school because it makes white kids feel bad about their ancestors' conduct. Shame is good actually!

Oh no, not a slew of proposed rules instructing institutions to respect a person's gender identity!! We've truly gone too far.

Darkly funny how obvious the bigotry is here. "Discrimination against gay people is bad but uhhhhh trans people take medications so uhhhh that's different." It's actually not! The core issue here is still equal rights for a minority being cast as a threat to the majority.

the complaint here seems to be “the extremely rich children of NYC are class traitors”

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
