Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Los Angeles EMERGENCY ICE protest TODAY at 4:30pm. Please show up, share with your friends/groups

We have paid 15% of our income* for our entire fucking lives. Please go fuck yourself. * I know half technically comes from the employer but if they weren’t paying it we would make more money

We could just house people instead.

My parents took my book away and shoved me out the door. Biked alone daily to the back of Niu Valley (I was nine) and visited a horse there I named Stripe. He came when I called, and I fed him mangoes.

Thanks for anything you can do to help our friend down in Florida. She’s supporting a family—or was—and living a nightmare of dependence on others now. And she still manages to write me funny letters…. I guess you can laugh, or you can give up.

Actually, it's two men.

it's the unmoisturized elbows for me.

Men are too emotional to use social media

Every time I open up this site, another bitchy tweet has landed. Welcome to Real Billionaires of DC. I hope they start throwing hairbrushes and screaming about how nobody appreciates them next.

Essential listening — an eloquent, exhaustive, and often exasperated, exposure of the sloppy thinking and lack of evidence at the heart of so much of the breathless ‘Covid Was Leaked From a Lab in Wuhan’ messaging.

Today's another reminder that being evil means your evil cohorts and "friends" will turn on you without blinking. Sure, you can do anything without moral qualms. But so can they.

The "extinction caucus" in Congress wants to gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA) even as the world faces a biodiversity and extinction crisis! Speak up to stop this brazen attack on the ESA and help save America’s imperiled plants and wildlife! >>> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/oppose_hr189...

Wow! Over 3,000 of our members and supporters have written their members of Congress this week urging their rep and senators to co-sponsor and pass the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act. Thank you! You can do the same right here >>> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/nrepa-2025/i...

Let's be very clear about why they're "fighting." Elon is big mad that Trump's bill isn't even more horrific. He wants this bill to cut trillions MORE than it does, stealing food and healthcare from even more people and plunging millions into poverty. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Lots of people tell me they like our art but just aren't a pin person. We have custom magnet backs that can turn our pins into instant magnets (with no modifications!) and they also look fantastic framed shadow-box style. The pendants make great holiday ornaments, too! tinyurl.com/ys8jk8te

And more importantly: Where is the main stream media to ask about Trump's mental acuity? If Biden had ever rambled like this in a briefing, there'd be twenty articles and five angry reels in an hour. Like. Come on. Instead, cable news is now pivoting to talking about Elon's criticisms.

I started writing something important to me tonight. Not really sure what it is, but I’ll share the end of it. Watching the tech industry do what it’s doing sickens me, and I want people to know why.

Fuck man is somebody chopping gay onions

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

If you're in L.A. tonight, I am doing an event at the Hammer Museum with Amber J. Phillips, where we will be talking about the Portable Feminist Reader! It's free: hammer.ucla.edu/programs-eve...

This came up in my feed and it's so tight no light escapes.

Time to HOWL!!! Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has reintroduced a bill requiring the federal government to remove the gray wolf from federal protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) across the entire 48 states! ACT NOW —> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/hr845-wolf-esa

These sorts of questions lead me to wonder things like: is the questioner ten years old? If they are over the age of, say, 18, have they ever seen a film or read a book made before 2001? Because one watch of National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) answers this question.

I think a lot of people don't understand that in a world where everyone uses "AI" to vomit out statistically average text, the ability to use words uniquely becomes a premium skill and a critical differentiator.

Another starred review for THE BEWITCHING, this time from Library Journal. That makes a perfect *4* starred reviews from the trade journals (PW, Kirkus, Booklist and LJ). This is out next month and I don't know what else to say except pre-order now. www.libraryjournal.com/review/the-b...

Somewhere in the Great Beyond, Thomas Bros. Maps chortles loudly

We'd be lion if we said we didn't need your voice to save Wilderness and wildlife! So please visit our action center and help us Keep Wilderness Wild! —> wildernesswatch.org/action-alerts/

It's... raining in June in Burbank, California. There was fricking THUNDER here a few minutes ago! Where AM I?

New story! "The Breaker of Mountains and Rivers" by Aliette de Bodard! buff.ly/dTFLzXp

Sadie Betty Grable.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

After months of horror stories, I'm crying watching these good citizens fight back. These people are restoring a little of my faith in America.

It's terrifying that I, a completely unqualified person, am more qualified to run FEMA than this idiot.

I was at the library for six hours today the library kicks ass

Crawlspace cleared and sealed up tight! Haven't seen the skunks in a day or two, but a little cayenne pepper in a few areas should discourage them. There were a lot of tangerine peels in the crawlspace. Apparently skunks, obligate carnivores, enjoy the occasional tangerine.
