Author friends with small indie publishers, is anyone else seeing books disappearing off Amazon? I’m getting queries about whether one of my books is out of print because it’s only showing available from resellers or used. Doesn’t seem to be affecting the larger publishers. ???

Sometimes in my research I come across the most wonderful stories about ancestors who carried this craft. This is from an account of a Cree tattoo medicine bundle and its lineage until it was retired in 1953. 🔥🔥🔥

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Secret police forces typically meet 5 criteria: targeting political opponents & dissidents answer directly to dictator the identity of members / operations are secret surveillance operations arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. So yeah: ICE= Gestapo

The blackshirts are indistinguishable from the brownshirts which is illustrative of the fact that they are all illegitimate thugs carrying out targeted political violence and ethnic cleansing.

Gritting my teeth listening to yet another historian explaining why we can’t interpret female-sexed skeletons buried with weapons as warriors even when the bones show marks of violence. They’re not wrong of course, you can’t assume. But this skepticism doesn’t ever seem to apply to male graves.

The value of a protest is rarely in the individual action on a specific day. The value usually comes in the longer term. People become radicalized, they get used to mobilizing. They form networks and share knowledge. Even the very lib protest has its place. There’s no one right way to protest.

This - I’ve had ppl asking me the same questions: do I need a gas mask/armor etc for today? Very unlikely. Mass public actions like today’s are rarely violent. Cops & fash are the main source of violence, & they don’t usually attack very large rally crowds, esp permitted peaceful ones. +

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

Here's a bindrune, the Black Star, for resisting fascism. It invokes the hailstone rune and the rune of Tyr, the Aesir God of Justice. It rain down justice & clear the way for new possibilities to emerge from the ashes of the old. Use it as you will. #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky #OccultSky

Just so we are all clear, this is military occupation of a city to punish dissent, and which they promise to continue until its elected mayor and governor are removed. It’s full authoritarianism. Folks can stop talking about a “slide towards” fascism. Everyone needs to find a network and fight.
